Exceeding Customer’s Expectation

Every entrepreneur must strive to exceed customer’s expectation.

In order to achieve this, business owners must learn to LISTEN to customers’ requirements and expectations.

In a business environment that is competitive, challenging and chaotic, listening to customer becomes crucial.

Consumers’ taste is constantly changing with options and varieties of quality products to select from. They are therefore constantly looking for that ‘extra’ to aid their decision.

Also, there is no such thing as absolute customer loyalty. Customer loyalty is fluid and delivering that extra is necessary to stay in business.

Giving that extra sometimes might be inconveniencing and also slice the business profit, it might however be what is needed to stay relevant in the game. It is therefore necessary to strike a balance between value and profit.

Exceeding customer’s expectation doesn’t have to jeopardize the profit objective.

Going the extra mile can be as simple as putting a phone call through to a customer to give an update on job ordered or just to say thank you. It could be the extra effort made in selecting right materials, or the speed at which a business executes its operation.

Remember, little things count in business relationships…
