The Secret to Happy, Loyal Customers By

Reuben Singh

Ask yourself: do you know the value of your customers? Everybody knows that your customers are

what keeps your business afloat, and that without customers there would be no money to pay bills. But

do you truly understand the real value of your customers?

If your company's goal is to generate a sale then move on, you're causing your business

more harm than good. Your aim should be to turn potential customers into long-term

contributors to your business growth. If you attract the right customers – the ones who love

your service, want to purchase again, and tell their friends – your business has the right

foundations in place to be a success for years to come.

AlldayPA shares five tips to successfully obtaining those happy, loyal

customers:

1- Many businesses don't implement a customer service policy. Without customers there

simply is no business. As such, customer service should NEVER be an afterthought. Your

business needs to employ a tight, integrated customer service strategy to prioritise your

company's goals with customer needs.

2- In a world of technology and data, it can become all too easy to forget that your biggest

assets are your employees. Your employees create the first impression which marks the start

of a customer's experience with your company. This experience influences how customers

interact with your services and products. Never forget the power of a personal experience by

making your customers feel welcome and at home.

3- Always show understanding and empathy when responding to customers. Put yourself in

their shoes and determine what you can offer to better their lives. You know how your

company works, you know the features your products offer and the projects you're working

on. Use this knowledge to delight with amazing customer service. Always aim to outperform

expectations.

4- Make your customers the number one priority and do everything in your power to keep

these customers happy. Trust your team to deliver a great experience. If you make a mistake,

apologise and do all you can to repair the relationship.

5- Give your customer support team a direct line to decision-making. If your support team

have to go through procedures to sign off decisions, customers will become impatient and go

knocking on your competitors' doors. Speed is a crucial element in providing a great customer

service.
