How Do You Win Customers For Life?

Special Important Thought In winning customers for life it is really no different than in personal relationships. The basic question to ask yourself do you really CARE about this other person?

I was asked what gift I would like. I always answer that is easy. To me, ANYONE giving me the gift of their time, whether email, text, phone call, or visit is PRECIOUS to me.

Why? It is the most valuable piece of a person. Time is the currency of their life.

But giving TIME is Caring 101. Do you want to know what Advanced Caring 201 says? Two words:

SPECIAL and IMPORTANT.

Red Rock Can you with some focused thoughts with people, business or personal, make them feel VERY IMPORTANT and highly valued and SPECIAL, in the minutes, hours, weeks, or possibly years they are with you? If you do, then you have WON THEM.

Conversely, neglect in making people feel important and special, they will eventually steer clear of you. Why? YOU are just like everyone else they encounter in the world. Special and Important coming from you their internal hearts have this little counter inside FEELING that from you. The MORE you make them feel this way and CONSISTENTLY you do this, you will have no problem keeping these people in your life.

SPECIAL and IMPORTANT are two key words to not forget in all your dealings with other people. It is a SECRET that eludes many, but for those who have powerful loving hearts, it is what makes them golden. And VERY TREASURED by all who encounter them.

Gary...this is a very tough thing to do. Even if you pamper them for years many will take the first agent that looks at them.

Gary,

When I opened my first chiropractic practice, an old friend - a dentist - gave me the best advice I had ever heard before. He bypassed the technical, the clinical, and got to the point. Treat others better than yourselves and you will always be successful at whatever you set yourself to accomplish... g

Hi Gary - when I read this I immediately thought of my beloved Nicole (my son's girlfriend who lived with us for three years and recently passed away.) I am so fortunate that I let her know I loved her in word and deed every day of her life right up to the moment she passed while I was holding her. I've been blessed to realize to never take the people I love for granted and I get so much joy from loving the people in my life and consider each one of them a gift. Having no regrets like I shoulda, coulda helps my heart heal and gives me such peace. Love your words of wisdom as always

I hope you have a really....
