How are you managing to put customers first in your business? Do you treat them like rock stars or do you unknowingly neglect them. Customer service is all about going the extra mile for your customer, and making them feel like royalty in the process. I once learned this from this grocery store I used to work at.
I still remember till this day how the interview went. The boss asked, "So do you tell people where to go, or do you show them where to go?" And me being stupid said, "I would tell them where to go." You should've seen the look on his face when I told him that. He looked at me with the most confused look I've ever seen.
He then went on to say that I should lead them to where to go instead of telling them. He said he wants all of his customers to be treated as kings and queens, but this was something that I knew nothing about. Anyway, despite the poor interview, I got the job, and his advice stuck with me everyday while I was there.
So what about you? Are your customers and clients being treated like royalty - or do you barely give them a passing glare? Your customers should be number 1 in your mind, and taking care of them should be a top priority. So what are some of the things that you can do to make your customers feel special? Well I'm glad you asked.
The first thing that you should do is greet and say hello to every customer that walks into your store. Ask them if they need assistance with anything, and tell them that you'll be right there if they need anything. This is customer service 101, but not every business utilizes this to their advantage.
Another thing that you can do to help your prospects feel special is to contact them every month. Surprise them with a free issue of your monthly newsletter, and let them know how to order a paid subscription if they deem your content as relevant. The newsletter should contain things that they will find interest in.
For example if you're a chiropractor, offer a monthly newsletter of how patients can take care of themselves at home. If you're a fitness gym owner, offer a newsletter that shows members how to stay in tip-top shape even when they're away from the gym. If you're an auto mechanic, offer a newsletter about how to keep your car in good shape at all times. These are just classic ways to get, keep, and win customers over with your information.
It doesn't matter what industry you're in. You can find ways to offer a newsletter to your existing customers. They will love you for it, and if you structure it in the right way, you can make alot of money from the newsletter alone. It's like receiving a free sale at the beginning of each month.
Take these tips and use them to have success in your business. All of these strategies are easy to implement, so you should start utilizing them right away.
Good luck with marketing your products and services.
