CIMG releases 1st ever bank customer satisfaction survey

Dr. Daniel Kasser Tee, President of CIMG The Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana has released a ground breaking research driven survey report on customer satisfaction in Ghana’s banking sector The report, which was unveiled officially at the Coconut Grove Hotel in Accra a fortnight ago, is the first ever survey of customer satisfaction in a services industry in Ghana.
