Hence customers can be pitched with surveys on a regular basis to know about what are their basic expectation.  Performance Attribute: This is a Feature which provides performance value to the customer for example if a car is able to reach 0-100 in 4 Seconds then it is called good performance. If such features are present in Product or service customers will be satisfied however if such features are absent then it can be a reason for dissatisfaction as well.  Excitement Attribute / Delighters: This is a feature which adds to good customer experience. For example in Car premium interior, Infotainment systems are present then customer will be satisfied however if this are not present customer will not be dissatisfied.  Indifferent: This is a Feature of which Presence or Absence does not affect a customer.
