Putting the Customer First
A Marketing Sherpa Customer Satisfaction Study polled over 2,400 customers. And they found that buyers consider a company to be a customer-first company, if the company:
- consistently provides a good experience
- is easy to work with – online, in person, and on the phone
Here are some ways that you can make your company more “customer first.”
Providing a Good Experience
Treating customers with kindness and fairness will go a long way toward providing a good experience. Other important factors include:
- well-trained employees who care about the welfare of your business as well as your customers.
- a place of business that is clean, well-decorated, and comfortable.
- customer comforts like free coffee.
Being Easy to Work With
