The study further revealed that professionalism contributes much towards customer satisfaction according to the results from interview with the branch managers of NWSC. From the study findings, it can be concluded that Customer care service is very pertinent in as far as customer satisfaction with the organizational services is concerned therefore, the management of NWSC should put in more effort to ensure they improve their customer care services to retain and maintain a stable customer base for the organization.
