Answer:
The options are missing, so I looked for similar questions. The option that I believe is correct is:
- A good reputation for having few OOS (out-of-stock) problems when fulfilling large orders.
Customer service is extremely important in today's world were competition is fierce and global. The less competition, the less value customer service has, but companies from around the world compete against each other. E.g. if you do not like how some salespeople treat you at a certain store, you can go online and buy the same products from a retailer 2,000 miles away. You must always remember that keeping old customers happy and loyal is always much easier and cheaper than getting new customers.
In a B2B environment, costs are important, and any difference in costs is much more important because the quantities sold are larger. But if the company that sells the lower priced products offers a terrible customer service and is not able to fulfill orders in time, then B2B clients will leave them because time is money. Th elonger the lead time, the higher the stockout probabilities and you require a larger safety stock which costs money.
