Thanks.
1. How to make sure these expectations be identified correctly?
2. How can these expectations be met or execeeded?
3. How should we do if the customer are still not satisfied even the expectations has been met or execeeded?
If the clients expectations have been met or exceeded, they will be satisfied. If it is only your expectations that have been met or exceeded, then you and the client failed to ensure that you were on the same page from the start. Ask the client why they are unsatisfied and review possible actions to remedy the situation.
I might add that this is all very general because more detailed answers will depend upon the nature of the industry. Ie. an IT project may still satisfy a client if the deliverable is late, but of higher quality than expected. An industrial maintenance project will likely not satisfy a client with the same circumstances. You need to identify and satisfy the most important client goals.

Yes, you are right. In most circumastances, customers will be satisfied when their expectations are met or exeeded.
However, the questions are:
1. How to make sure these expectations be identified correctly?
2. How can these expectations be met or execeeded?
3. How should we do if the customer are still not satisfied even the expectations has been met or execeeded?
Satisfaction is a subjective target. The reality is that customer satisfaction is achieved when their expectations are met or exceeded.
There are methods you can employ to manage customer expectations and your performance, but that is it in a nutshell.

Hi, it looks like all of the factors are subjective? How can it be implemented in reality? Policy?
One guy told me that design, quality and service were all things that have impacts on customer satisfaction. Is it true?
