The purpose of this thesis was, on the mission of LRF Konsult Södra marknadsområdet, to research on why their customers were satisfied and/or dissatisfied. The research was performed in two segments: customers that had joined the company through acquisitions of other accounting firms and customers that had been in contact with LRF Konsult?s personal sellers.To be able to find the answer to our purpose we chose to do a qualitative study. Five interviews were performed with customers in southern Sweden, Skåne and Halland, to get their personal view of the service and of their relation to LRF Konsult and their contact person.The theories suggested that the satisfaction of the customers would increase depending on their relation with LRF Konsult and their contact person. Our research concluded the relation differed for each customer and that it was of great importance that the contact person at LRF Konsult understood and adapted the relation to what the customer wanted. Furthermore, there was a slight difference between the acquired customers and customers by sellers since the last mentioned segment seems to have a close relation to both LRF Konsult and the contact person. The acquired customer rather has a close relation solely to the contact person. No matter what type of relation they had, we could clearly see that the contact person played an important role since that person was in direct contact with the customers.We also noticed a difference between the agricultural segment and other small enterprises. The agricultural customers were thankful for the expertise of LRF Konsult within the customers? segment and appreciated the knowledge that they had access to. The other small enterprises were not interested in a deeper knowledge within their branches.Other important aspects that could be concluded from this research were the value of trust in order to create satisfaction. Price on the other hand was not, in line with the theories presented, of great importance. Finally there was a focus on the process as a whole, which worked as a driving force for higher satisfaction, even if the customers differed in how active they wanted to be.
