How to improve customer satisfaction? What are the latest methodologies to measure them on real time basis?

Customer satisfaction start from the time we sell a product or a service, a perfect need analysis should be done to suugest the best product or solution, If just for sake of selling we give wrong product/service than ultimately the user will feel uncomfortable after some time.

Feed back at regular time interval will be best to measure Customer Satisfaction.
