We all interact with a number of different companies throughout our day but it is not very often that we actually receive the kind of service that actually stops and makes us think about how good it actually was. This is something that anyone who is running their own business really needs to think about because it is a sure fire way to make sure that your business gets noticed and remembered. If you are employing other people then you need to make sure that they are offering great customer service as well.
Surprising Your Customers
In a normal transaction you will do what you need to in order to make it possible for the customer to make a purchase. The customer will make purchase and that will be the end of it. They probably won’t be unhappy with your service that they have received but they won’t necessarily be that excited about it either.
When you and your staff go the extra mile to provide a great service this will be surprising to the customer as they may not expect you to go to such lengths. This feeling of surprise is going to be memorable for them and there is a good chance that they will talk about the experience that they have received with their family and friends, potentially earning you more customers.
