The Hard Stuff

It Starts With Communications!

Page 32: ICSA Presentation   Sept 2010

Listening To Your Customers’ Suggestions

See the big picture. Ask yourself, "Is this a onetime event, or

indicative of a trend?” Think strategically about your customers'

businesses, find ways to help them cut costs and increase profits.

Go beyond supporting the physical building, or selling your services, make yourself valuable to your customers as an advisor.

Be a student.

The Things that Customers WantSource: "Customer Retention in a Week", Jane Smith

You make it easy for customers to do business with you
