"I'm the customer, you deliver me what I'm asking for"
This statement will tell you how annoyed a customer will be when his expectations are not met. Managing customer at customer site is like meeting the lion at lions Den. You dont have worser scenario than this if you dont have a history of please experience with the customer you have met so far.
No worries, see the below given quotes by unknown:

Being at Customer site the Implementation consultant and software engineers needs to follow very small things which can make the customer happy.
You have to make sure you have the following information before you go to the customer site for the implementation.
