Your Service Separates You From The Pack 

“Being on par in terms of price and quality only gets you into the game. Service is what wins the game.”

Tony Alessandra, bestselling author, entrepreneur, motivational speaker

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Your service separates you from the pack

 

Consumers are setting the standards for the level of service that they expect. When the level of your service doesn’t meet the consumers’ expectations they will move on and find the professional or company that will.

 

Far too many people feel the price is the number concern of the consumer and that they will not buy the product or service unless they get the lowest price.

 

Where the price is low and the service or the quality is not up to the customers standards the lower price doesn’t deliver the value to the consumer and that’s the end of the business relationship.

 

Where the price is right and the service and the quality is not up to the consumers standards the end result will be no future business.

 

When you start to work with a customer find out their motivation and what their hot bottom are, price, quality or service. Once you understand the customers expectation you role will be to meet and exceed their expectations.

 

In the long run your customer service separates you from the pack . . . WOW them and your service will create future business and referral opportunities.

Lou, customer service is very important to me. The saying, "Build it and they will come", comes to mind. Build a good reputation for providing service and they will come.

Just had a great visit with one of my clients who is putting a cottage on the market with me this weekend.  I had my photographer do the photo shoot and we spent some time with the seller.  At one point he said, "Frank, you have great people working with you."  I get such a great kick when clients acknowledge the efforts I put into serving and having a great team to follow our mission statement.

Reminds me of "you get what you pay for".   Lowest price isn't always the best deal!  Quality service is a hard thing to find these days.

Your level and quality of serice, surely does separate you from your competition. I would add that you speak to each client based on their level of understanding, will make the process go smoother.

True words were never spoken. I just had an email from a new client who said "I appreciate your thoroughness and professionalism." Made me smile again.
