Quote by Mahatma Gandhi


A Customer is the most important visitor on our premises

He is not dependent on us ~ We are dependent on him
He is not an interruption on our work ~ He is the purpose of it

He is not an outsider on our business ~ He is a part of it
We are not doing him a favour by serving him ~ He is doing us a favour by...
giving us an opportunity to do so.
