hello,
I can't write your paper for you, but I can address each of the following points with regards to customer service. Many of the points will overlap with each other.
-the life time value of a customer
It is known that acquiring a new customer can cost significantly more than retaining an existing customer. What does this mean? It means that it is cheaper for the business to have repeat customers purchasing their products vs. going out to find new customers. This means that once a customer made a purchase, an online vendor must make sure that this customer is satisfied and will hopefully return back to the store.
How can we do that? If they had any issues with the product, delivery or service the e-business need to be able to address it right away to make sure that the customer becomes satisfied with the outcome. Perhaps other tactics can be used to build life long customers, such as offering them special coupon codes via email for discounts on future purchases, or other incentives to maintain their loyalties.

Sometimes however the questions are so complex that the call needs to get transfered to a manager or supervisor. This could be necessary to solve problems. The goal of customer service is to have a satisfied customer in order to build lifelong relationships.
