Unlocking the Secret to Customer Satisfaction

There’s no great mystery to satisfying your customers.

Build them a quality product and treat them with

respect. It’s that simple.”

Lee Iacocca, Auto Executive    

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Unlocking the secret to customer satisfaction  

 

A key to satisfying customers . . . . is to understand your customer . . . . their motivation . . . . their needs . . . . and their expectations. Creating customers satisfaction is not created in a vacuum . . . . It’s a joint venture between the customer . . . . your company . . . . and yourself. 

 

Your product and or your services has to meet the customer’s needs . . . . and exceed the customer’s expectations in order to be of value to them.

 

A product that falls short in meeting a customer’s expectations . . . . Either will result in no business being transacted . . . . no referrals . . . . or no future business. Missed expectations create . . . . a lose – lose situation for all of the parties involved.

 

In most cases your product is your service. Your service has to exceed the customer’s expectation for you to remain competitive . . . . and to compete in a competitive business environment. Establish the customer’s expectations for your service . . . . and make every effort to exceed those expectations.

 

Be respectful of the customer position  . . . . their needs . . . . and you will build rapport with the customer . . . . to the point to where  the customer has confidence in you.

 

Unlocking the secret to customer satisfaction . . . . is in understanding the customer . . . . and exceeding their expectations.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is not "listening" to what the customer is asking and assuming you already know.
