I agree with you Gopal. Also, let me put forward some more on this.

The trust is the platinum standard of service. It is the clue that keeps customers coming back. The customer’s faith in your word; belief in your promises are what saves you in those difficult times when everything seems to be going wrong. Building trust is a succession of positive experiences and certainly not over night. Least we shall ensure FAIR deal that leads to trust building.

They have the outcome they expected – they get what they asked for

The process of getting that was painless

You kept the performance promise you made

You treat them ethically - no bait & sneaky behaviour  

You acknowledge their unique wishes if any

Their best interests are placed ahead of the company’s convenience
