In order to achieve clarity, the company should highlight crucial points in the deal and give open knowledge to the customers. Subsequently, the customer should inquire if the customer agrees to all the said terms and conditions.

3. Don't Let Customers Await

In the tech era, people seek quick services and response as the delay in the services is not appreciated. So, to keep the customers attached to the company, the entrepreneur needs to make sure that all customer-related issues are resolved as soon as possible.
