Cultivate our most difficult customers: Tough customers keep you on your toes. They sharpen your service skills and make you stretch to new limits. They force improvement and push you to higher standards.
Take care of our current customers: one of my friends told me how her bank offered free services to new customers. She asked if she too could have these free services. The bank employee quickly explained that the deal only applied to “new customers”. My friend then became a new customer – at another bank.
All business is personal: We will build solid relationships one customer at a time. We will focus on the personal issues; learn names, needs and nuances. We will provide the best value for each of our customer’s individual personality.
After the service: our loyalty opportunity occurs after our service is provided. Unless we follow through with a courtesy call we may miss the opportunity to fix a problem or clear up a misunderstanding. This is a perfect opportunity to say, “You are a good customer and I appreciate your business.”
Tune in to our customers: We will be good listeners. There is no better way to learn our customers needs than to listen to what they have to say.
Cultivate your most important customers: The best customers you have are the ones who walk through the door. Always remember your best advertisement is your customer. They will tell everyone who will listen what a wonderful place Critter Camp is…On the other hand, if we allow a customer to leave unhappy…they can also be your worst form of advertisement. Bottom line; we must go that extra mile to make sure our customers are happy.
Remember customers are good for business! If operating a business was like throwing a dance party, it’s the customers who pay the band, provides the refreshments and rents the dance hall. It is our job to see that the customer enjoys the party!
