Marketing Seminars – Happy Customers

Marketing Seminars – Keeping Customers Happy

 

 

Many of the business books will tell you about offering outstanding customer service.  In my experience, most companies can survive and make a good living by being barely adequate. 

 

Perhaps because we don’t like complaining much, mediocrity is everywhere we look.  A sandwich shop that doesn’t have fresh bread – but it’s the only one in the village.  A petrol station that is filthy with surly service, but it’s located by a busy road.  A restaurant with poor service that gets by because of limited choice in the local area.  All of these businesses succeed through lack of competition; they may survive for years as they are and make a decent living – without providing proper customer satisfaction.

 

But imagine the difference if they really tried?  If they really embraced their customers?  If they worked out what their customers wanted?  If they really went out of their way to serve the customer?  What would happen when a new competitor opened up nearby?  Would it affect them?  Possibly, but if they had followed the ideas contained here, it would only have a very limited effect because their business would be built on a strong foundation of customer loyalty. 

 

The more loyal your customers, the stronger your business.  With loyal, happy customers, much of your marketing is done for you.  Much of your new business is taken care of and much of your profit is predictable.  If you decide to expand, you will be able to do so confident that you have a highly successful business model that you can replicate easily.

 

It all starts with appreciating that your customer is king.  Your customer is the most valuable asset in your company.  Keep your customer happy and wanting more.  Give your customer what they want and they will keep coming back to you for more.
