INTANGIBILITY
A service cannot be experienced through the physical senses.
It cannot be seen, heard, tasted, felt, or smelled by a customer.
Goods can easily be experienced through the senses.

INSEPARABILITY
A customer still can’t really experience it until it is actually consumed.
It is produced and consumed at the same time and cannot be separated from its provider.

VARIABILITY
Because it can’t be separated from the provider, a service’s quality can only be as good as that of the provider him/herself.

PERISHABILITY
The fact that a service can’t be stored or saved up for future use.
Perishability is a major potential problem for service providers.
Fluctuating demand is related to perishability of services.

Firms practicing internal service quality are customer-centric:
They do the following:
1. Instill an organization-wide focus on understanding customers’ requirements.
2. Generate an understanding of the marketplace and disseminate that knowledge to everyone in the firm.
3. Align system capabilities internally so that the organization can respond effectively with innovative, competitively differentiated, satisfaction-generating goods and services.
