Take Interest in Your Customer

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echos are truly endless.
Mother Teresa

Being personable with your customers can be one of the best things you can do to keep your relationship with them strong. As human beings, we love to be paid attention to and made to feel special. The conversation doesn’t need to always be business related. Ask about their family, their recent vacation, any hobbies they might have. You will surely be remembered for it.

Mistakes Will Be Made

Customers don’t expect you to be perfect. They do expect you to fix things when they go wrong.
Donald Porter, V.P. British Airways

Don’t run from your mistakes.  Be quick to admit them openly to customers and offer corrective action instead of blaming others or pretending it wasn’t your responsibility.

The Customer is Always Right

Rule 1: The customer is always right. Rule 2: If the customer is ever wrong, re-read Rule 1.
Stew Leonard, CEO Stew Leonard’s

Even if you know the customer is wrong, the customer needs to feel like he has won. Deal with problems immediately and never make promises you can’t keep.
