No business whether it is a huge multinational company or a small startup run by a dedicated entrepreneur can maintain its presence and improve its profits if it does not look after its customers and clients.
The happier your clients are, the happier they’ll be to do repeat business with you and give your company a good word. Not only that but it is much more effective to maintain an existing customer-base than it is to generate a new one. So, making your customers happy really does matter.
With that in mind, here are some steps you can take to make your clients happier by the day:
Keep in Touch with Them
Communicating with your clients on a one-to-one basis, ideally by phone, is a great way to catch up on how they’re doing, check out how they’re getting on with your products and services and to sell them new stuff (you shouldn’t do this one too often or too overtly). It also makes you appear more attentive to their needs. So, call your clients regularly, email them and text them and make it as personal as possible. The stronger the relationship you build, and the more effort you put into looking after them, the more likely they are to stick around.
Improve Your Customer Service
Whether you already have a team of highly-trained customer service agents, like the ones at TicketOffices, who always go above and beyond, or you are a one-person business trying to do it all yourself, one thing that will undoubtedly make your customers happy is better service – and your service can always get better. Ask your customers’ for their opinions and ideas on the service they have received and make changes when and where you can to see those happiness levels soar.
Create Content of Value
When it comes to keeping your clients happy in the online sphere, perhaps the best thing you can do is create content that offers them true value. Instead of creating fluffy content that fills a space and meets your keyword requirements, start writing – or commission ing from Upwork.com – highly-researched content that provides answers to questions and solutions to problems. This will make you valuable in the eyes of your clients, And it will also help to set you up as an authority in your field which will go a long way to bringing in new customers, as well as keeping the existing ones happy.
Do More
If you tell your clients their website will be complete within a month, finish it in three weeks or if you tell them they’ll receive their package in 48 hours, make it 24. By doing more for your customers and exceeding their expectations whenever you can, you will exponentially increase the level of satisfaction they feel as one of your customers.
Listen
Perhaps most importantly of all, you should always listen to your clients and allow them to have input. You may have ideas how things should be done, but you won’t always be right, and by being more accommodating, you will retain more customers.
Time to make some clients happy.
