"Your Customers Are The Key to Any Home Based Small Business!"
56Keep Your Customers Close!
Customer Satisfaction or Customer Loyalty?
If you're staring an at home based business, the questions I'd ask is: what is more important than your customers? In fact -- that question applies whether you're just starting out, or whether you are already on your way! One of the best ways to grow your work from home company is to be totally devoted to your customers. If you treat them right, they will pay you back by bringing in new customers to you. This should be a major focus of your top home business marketing program. The bottom line is, without customers, what have you got? The answer: Nothing.
“Customer Satisfaction is Worthless; Customer Loyalty is Priceless” is a great quote from the marketing “guru” Jeffrey Gitomer. It’s one of the first things I say to myself as I begin my day working from home. And when you think about it, it is so true. You want to be one of the best home businesses, right?
Absolute customer loyalty is only achieved when you provide a product and service that exceeds expectations. Satisfying customers is easy, considering the averages out there. Going “above and beyond”, now that’s priceless in today’s market and let me tell you, your customers will notice.
Remember, if you’re committed to them, they will be your best source for new business. Two things to keep in mind: Your greatest risk is the loss of your current customers and your best short-term opportunity for new customers is through your current ones. So when you think about it, the best thing to do is to make your CURRENT customers think you are the cat's meow!
Here are some ideas to keep your customers loyal, happy and recommending you to everyone to talk to.
Determine your Key Customers: Casual customers are not your core customer. Remember, your core customers are those who came to your business because of the kind of business your in, the superior products or services associated with your business concept, and the awesome service you provide.
Are you keeping Your Customers Happy? To find out -- ask! And most important, listen to what they have to say. And make it part of your business to always on the “front lines” with your customers.
Good is Not Enough Anymore! With all the competition for customer attention, you must exceed expectations in your efforts to show your customers how important they are to you and demonstrate that you will do whatever it takes to provide a superior customer experience with your products and services.
Be Pro-Active! Demonstrate to your core customers that you are committed to their success as well as knowing how important they are to yours. You can do this by having regular conversations about the types of products and services they might need to improve their own business and demonstrate that you will do whatever it takes to make sure you provide them.
Consistently follow through with action! Most customers have experienced promises of superior performance, but very few have had those promises met on a consistent basis. That’s where you can hold yourself out as a person who consistently delivers on his/her promises of out performance.
Always be on the lookout for new ways to serve your customers and help their businesses. Doing so will set you apart and put you into the “top home based business” category. Don’t worry, your customers will notice. Your efforts will be rewarded with happy and loyal customers whom will want to do more business with you and will enthusiastically recommend your product and services to others. You can’t beat that!
Remember that Jeffrey Gittomer phrase --"Customer Satisfaction is worthless! Customer LOYALTY is pricesless!" Would your rather your mate be "satisfied" or "loyal"? Hmmmmm -- not a tough choice -- is it! :-)
