5 Quick Keys to Keeping Your Customers Satisfied!
by William Montgomery
What are 5 simple keys that are so often overlooked? Why are
these simple keys ignored when the consequential results
have caused the ruin of countless small businesses?
1. Watch The Winners!
Study thriving companies. Study their techniques and
concepts. By studying winning companies you will realize
your own obligation to serving your customers. You will build
on that commitment. By watching these winners you can learn
to use tools and ideas to help you to better eradicate the
heart of your customers' dissatisfaction.
2. Get Out Your Slide Rule!
You will find that in your study of successful companies
that one of the key elements is the benchmark. They
benchmark everything! They gauge sales and losses, successes
and failures, They know what's working and what's not. This
especially helps relate to their performance and effectiveness
with their customers. By dissecting these benchmarks YOU can
best tell where your improvements need to be focused. Such
benchmarks as comment cards, surveys, customer interviews or
mystery shoppers are just a few ways to measure customer
satisfaction, product control, company and/or employee service.
3. Know Your Customer!
Too many businesses fail for one simple and fatal mistake;
they fail to hear their customers' voice. A successful
company holds an open ear for both the pleased and
displeased customer. Remember, your business is based upon
the premise of a customer satisfaction rather than product
or service supply. Get to know your customers as know your
family. Satisfy your customers' needs completely and you'll
go far!
4. Being Proactive!
Providing quality as the customer sees it means providing
your customer with both product quality and service quality.
Today's consumer market is more demanding than ever. If you
wish to do more than survive, learn to not only offer service
quality, but "proactive" service quality. Try to identify and
satisfy their needs before they lodge a complaint or make the
move to your competitor.
5. Out With The Old...
As you begin to apply these techniques and consider how you
can better serve your customers you may find one of a
hundred little things that can be eliminated or improved
upon. With this knowledge you will have access to gain a
bigger customer base and keep your present customers
satisfied.
Of course, the biggest key of all is to constantly challenge
yourself and your company to get better at serving your
customers every day!
Be well, Be Successful, But Don't be a Stranger!
