		<description>[...] 3 Easy Ways to Treat Your Customers Right - It’s simple really: Happy customers will buy more from you and tell more people about you. You want customers buying more and telling more people about you. You want happy customers. Relationship marketing: Business blog style - You&#8217;ve often heard the term used, but were never really certain what it meant. It does sound kind of touchy feely, doesn&#8217;t it? Really all it means, however, is building good long term customer relations. Let Your Customers Build Your Business - Every participant will go away feeling great about being a part of the game, you will have learned a tremendous amount about your business, and, if your best clients just happen to be business owners too, you just might want to take your new game of “build a biz” to them and show them how to get better too. Nothing adds value to your business relationships like this kind of community and value building tool. Secrets of Successful Business Relationships Online - Truth is people will often pay more for something if they have established some kind of personal connection with the person or persons within the business. Certainly, such relationships lead to repeat business, whether you run a grocery store, a restaurant, a sporting goods store, or a movie theater. How to design a customer - As we all know from reading the banner at the top of this page, the mission of a brand is to create customers. Before we can create a customer, however, we first have to design one. In this post I’ll touch on what “creating a customer” really means, and then follow with an overview of the customer design process. 10 Ways To Improve Your Customer Service - 10 Ways To Improve Your Customer Service.

Staying on the Top of Your Customer&#8217;s Mind - Chris Brown over at Branding and Marketing is challenging us to come up with some tips for staying top of mind with customers. My blog post this past Friday on creating a customer communication plan is an integral part of staying top of mind. Chris gave three very specific suggestions for keeping in touch with customers to help them remember you, as well as these ideas for how to communicate. Four Steps to Increase the Lifetime Value of Your Customers - Looking at the value of a customer in this manner is quite dangerous in that it really cannot give you any indication of the true lifetime value of your customers, or the average expenditure of a customer with your company over the period of time between their initial and final purchases. Determining the Lifetime Value of and Lifetime Profit From Your Customers - The four worksheets in the spreadsheet make it as simple as plugging in a few variables and the lifetime value and lifetime profit is computed for you. Feel free to distribute this file to your friends and associates. Customer Relations - Selling Through Your Customers - I need to build relationships with my customers by speaking their language and providing them with services they truly need and value.

		<description>@Mark: Yup, we&#039;re on the same page. I knew we were, but it doesn&#039;t hurt to keep the discussion alive via comments. *smile*&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@Jim: My #1 pet peeve (as is the case with many people) when it comes to dealing with businesses is poor customer support. In every business I&#039;ve been involved with that&#039;s been a huge focus: response times, being respectful, answering questions properly, honesty. Even a twinge of better customer service is enough for me to stay loyal to one business vs. another.</description>
