yes , This post is completely valid . Its more important to maintain an existing customer rather than attracting a new customer
@Florida Web Design, Thanks for stopping by.
I wonder what the world may look like if all companies turned their marketing efforts inward, and focused on the Customer Experience
Great post
Most companies focus on the product as it’s easy to optimize. When it comes to service and customer experience then it’s much harder to make changes, as it involves changing the behaviour of the employees.
I very clear you need to work on the service and the customer experience if they want loyal customers, and want to be recommended by these people.
@Computer Science, Thanks for stopping by, we appreciate your comments
@Steen, Good Morning, We agree with your point, and it is much more fun to work on teh next deal, the new product and the next customer, but the real value lies in establishing a sustained relationship with your existing customers.
Great points Eric, but you can do more than focus on your vision of improving the customer experience. You can also encourage your customers to tell you about their experiences, in their own words. The social web and online customer reviews make this task so much easier, but you have to be listening for and reacting to the feedback to make it work for your business!
It’s always a good idea to follow and respond to reviews on the Web — an apartment complex will likely be reviewed on several sites. If your reviews are very positive and you’ve made it a regular practice to respond to your feedback, you won’t feel that anxiety when a prospect talks to a customer.
You should also consider adopting a “net promoter” methodology to assess the loyalty of your customers and the effectiveness of your customer service program. Again, if you do this on a regular basis, you’ll remain responsive to your customers’ needs and you’ll be pretty confident of a recommendation when you need one. For more information about “net promoter”, check out Fred Reichheld’s book, Ultimate Question, or visit the associated website, www.netpromoter.com.
Again, great post and a great topic. Thanks!
Paul, Good Morning,
Thank you for the comments. We agree with you about how important it is to monitor what folks are saying about your brand on the web.
To your point, it is also paramount to not only be listening, but to Participate in the Conversation!
Great points Paul, and thank you for the book suggestion,
