Explanation:
... which enabled us to satisfy the customer/client... by fulfilling their expectations and by the price practiced.

It's a bit messy, since the writer might have meant the client's expectations REGARDING price, however the text does NOT say this in so many words. Expectations and price are kept as two separate things.
