What is more important : Customers or targets?

When pressed for achievement of targets, what is your priority? If the customer is not willing to buy your product before your deadline finishes, what would you do? Push the customer or think on behalf of him and postpone the sale maintaining the relation?

Customers are more important than targets. If the customer would satisfy, He/ She definitely prefer to come again and the target will automatically achieve. Targets can only be achieved when there is customer. No customer no achievement of targets!

I agree with  Muhammad Umer but with out customers - there are no targets. So it depends on the product or service as to the strategy you need to employ to maximise both on a growing scale to trend up.

Customer and target both. If want satisfy customer then meet their needs like target, bug free etc. That is all about quality. Customer means everything.

 I would say your marketing plan should cover both targets -- the market and customer. The broader your reach in your marketing efforts, the more likely that you'll draw enough potential customers to take advantage of your services. Moreover, the more diverse your marketing efforts, the more you can raise your level of visibility as a business. After all, while you have a target audience, increased visibility means you may reach those outside of that market as well.

Customers and targets both are important , but priorities are based on what goods or services are offered to customers. And how much the target is valuable for the company. If the customer is not willing to buy our product then we have to know the reason Behind . And should focus on making new customers for the product. Keeping views of customers in mind we should go for the innovation and TQM .

Customer is more important, as satisfied customer can bring more and more customers, integrity build long-term customer relationship, that will likely to be a source of repeat business and to recommend the business to friends and family.

On the other hand, target is a short-term concept, essentially made to keep you focus on goal achievement. If you look at target as the ultimate goal, you will lose both, customer and target.

For me they go hand and hand. For you to meet your targets you need your customers.

Customers are more important. Your target will be met once you provide what your customers need.

Thank you for your kind invitation

The goals are the most important. When setting goals, you will know who the customers are.
