The next Maximise you Membership event we are due to speak at is being held at the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce on Thursday 6th September 2012, why not come along?

Did you know?

A customer is far more likely to contact a company if it uses an ISO 9001:2008 logo for the marketing of its products and services as it is show to instil greater levels of trust and confidence. Why not implement the ISO 9001:2008 to see an expansion in your current customer base.

Process:

A process is a series of actions completed to achieve a desired outcome, with a focus on satisfying the customer.

Procedure:

A procedure is a set way of doing something and is driven by the completion of a task with a focus on satisfying the rules.
