Abstract
Argues that, effectively, customers will give as good as they get. Puts forward the arguments why this should be the case, and why the main catalyst ‐ ever keener competition ‐ has made it so. Suggests that there is no disagreement that customer loyalty is the goal, but claims that this presupposes the establishment of trust and a long‐term relationship, and that the only way to gain this trust and long‐term relationship is by first offering it. Organizations will thus need to commit themselves to their customers ‐ a commitment to offer loyalty of service.
