Show your customers (potential or existing) that they can trust you by establishing rapport and trust from the start. Make sure you display your name when you reach out to your customers. Ask them for their names, and make a connection.

(1) Be personal

Make sure you are not trying to impress your customers by using robust vocabulary, impress them by solving problems quickly and efficiently instead.

People know when you are truly trying to help them or not. If you reach out to them on a personal level, and are genuine, and caring you will be rewarded with a loyal customer. If you are formal and cold, they will respond accordingly.

Don’t try to sell the client! Use your knowledge and experience to help them decide to buy. It is important to think how you can make the customer’s life easier, even when the help and support they need is not directly related to your product or services.

(2) Support

Here is an example from Zappos:

An agent from Zappos helped a customer to find a product that they wanted in another website, because the product was not in stock on their website. Zappos didn’t make money on that sale, but they did create a loyal customer, who spread the word about their experience, and generated a lot more loyal clients.

The most important part of a conversation with a customer is listening. People and companies tend to speak a lot, but often they forget that the ability to listen and draw conclusions costs nothing, and makes a huge impact.

(3) Listen

Always listen to what

customers have to say,

and don’t stick to a pre-written

script. Sometimes the things they fail to tell you, are

the core of their issue.

Be sure to have a quick response time and provide updates on the progress of the solution to their problem. Even if you do not have a solution, communicate that you are working on one. Be proactive with answers, do not wait to have the customer check in with you. Also, follow up and keep track of the progress until your client is happy.

(4) Update

It is important to remember that even though it may not be a big deal to you, that doesn’t mean it’s not a big deal to your customer. You may not realize how significant it is for him.
