Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Ghamdi, founder and chairman of the Customer Experience Association, said that a customer's first impression of a service provider is crucial.

Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Al-Ghamdi explained that this initial impression leads the customer to decide whether to continue with the provider or look for other options.

He added that first impressions can result in increased trust, loyalty, and positive feedback about the service. He noted that the association continues to monitor how companies value both customer and employee experience.

Al-Ghamdi also pointed out that customers may be patients, tourists, or travelers, but the primary customer for any organization is its employees. The way employees are treated directly affects the overall impression of the organization.

He emphasized that all companies in the Kingdom are working to deliver the best possible customer experience in line with regulatory standards, aiming to ensure customer satisfaction across all sectors.
