Wikipedia lists ”customer satisfaction” as “… a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.”

An article in the July 1994 Journal of Marketing, “Customer Satisfaction, Market Share, and Profitability: Findings from Sweden” stated that companies have used this metric for many years, with numerous studies drawing correlation between a company's ability to deliver customer satisfaction and reap improved economic returns.
