Describes what is customary in the market for sales and customer support.

The quality and level of customer support and service is evolving and improving at a rapid rate.  In many sectors, low cost local labor allows for a level of service that would be prohibitive in more developed overseas markets.  This is especially true in the urban centers and tourist areas of the east and north coasts.  While U.S. exporters should be prepared to provide customer and after-sales support, there may be an opportunity to apply the advanced customer support techniques developed in their home markets.   

Dominican workers are well disposed towards and enjoy a good reputation for customer service, which in part explains the country’s success in tourism and, more recently, in operating international call centers.
