This report focuses on the relationship between customer service strategy and customer retention in organizations. The study first broadly reviews the concepts of customer service and customer retention.

A review of existing Literature and analysis of works from journals, textbooks, published studies, internet and previous research reports reveals that indeed there is a positive correlation between customer service and customer retention in most sales and service organizations. However, this study furthers existing literature by introducing a third dimension of the further linkage between customer service and customer retention, and how this affects organizational profitability. The research findings confirm that there is a relationship between customer service and customer retention although customer service is not the only driver of customer retention.
