Caring for customers ...

 

Look after your customers by ...

 

  • using complaints to improve your product or service and compliments to reinforce what

            you’re doing right

  • consistently providing more service and value than is expected 
  • under promising and always over delivering
  • providing the WOW factor, not just the “that was ok”. People remember great things

            you did for them

  • asking your customers what exactly is it they seek from your business and how they want

            it given to them

  • delivering solutions. Be a solution provider, listen, show that you really care and want to

            answer their needs

  • providing value. Work out how to differentiate yourself from your competitors and

            provide great value

  • concentrating on ways where  you can ease their pain and solve their problems
  • telling the truth. It’s not as painful as it appears. Be honest and upfront. Put yourself

            in your customer’s shoes.

 

Remember ....

 

  • keep learning. More knowledge, skills, experiences means more to offer customers and the

            more they benefit

  • have fun. Be happy. Enjoy what you do. People want to work with people who enjoy

            what they do

  • follow through on your promises. If you promise something, deliver it! You’ll gain more

            trust and loyalty

  • let your customers know they can come to you long after the sale, and they can come back

            when they need

  • build connections with your customers. Find out about their aspirations, and goals. Ask

            questions and share

  • existing current customers are already doing business with you and are more likely to buy

            from you again

  • treat customers with honesty and respect. They’ll see you as dependable,

            credible, and trustworthy

  • think about a loyalty programme. Reward customers for staying with you and

            for repeat purchases

  • ask your customers for feedback. Solicit comment. Ask them how they feel about you and

            ask for ideas
