Thank you: The Key to Have Positive Customer Relationship
Customers are the focal point for any business without whom doing business is an aimless activity. Even in day-to-day activity customers are at the centre. They are the key to the growth of any business and thus taking care of customers is a part of doing business. Thank you: The Key to having Positive Customer Relationship- The easiest way to accomplish this task is to appreciate them and make them feel important. And what else can be better than saying ‘Thank you’. Have you ever noticed, in a shop the cashier handing change with a sweet smile and a thank you will make you feel good about that shop and you will think of going there again? Well, that’s the power of these two cordial words! In a business, thank you can be used to convey your gratitude. Like if a client pays your bills on time, you can send them an email or even a handwritten note. In this age of digitalization, a hand note saying thank you will make them feel important and the chances of doing business with them will also an increase in the future. Many times acknowledging your clients with a thank you is not possible because of the other business stuff. Here, you can set up a system which shoots an auto-generated email to the client whenever they make a payment, or this can be done also for showing your gratitude when you get the goods or products. There are apps and software available in the market to manage such kinds of stuff. Apart from getting goods or payments, you can also say thank you occasionally, like if you are working with a client form a really long time, you can write a thank you a note to them stating it has been great to work with them and they have been a great part for the growth of your business. Such appreciation will build a good business bond. Send your clients gifts every time on their special occasions, such as their birthdays, marriage anniversary, or a milestone of your association with them. A small gift like a pen with the client’s name engraved in it can do wonders. For example, if you own and operate a gym, you can give a regular customer of yours a one-month personal training package. This will help you in two ways: they will stay loyal to you for a long time because they feel special. Two, they will ignore the lapses in your services if there are any. Making a person feel special will make them stick with you, ignoring your mistakes. Third, word-of-mouth promotion is priceless and better than advertising. A loyal and happy customer will always refer you to his family and friends.
