Be Competitive. Be the Best Customer-centric Business



The customer experience is the next competitive battleground. - Jerry Gregoire

Organizations of any size are keeping pace with the times to stay ahead. One strategy they do is to provide the best customer experience.

Being competitive means that you mean ‘business’ and that you do what it takes to provide the kind of service that your competitors cannot provide. Every company after all focuses on gaining customers – people who will stay loyal to them. And getting gaining customer’s loyalty is not easy. To gain them, you should learn how to stay true to your promise and fulfill it all the time.
Each customer thinks, “I’ll go to that store and will for something to buy. Is that place any good?” As business, how can you create an environment that is pleasant for customers? What kind of experience can you give?

If people are visiting your store, the last situation they want to be in is to be waiting in line for minutes on end. At any given moment, they will restless and feel irritated because of the long line. How can you handle this situation? Customer service reps should be friendly; it will lighten up the mood. Engage them, it comforts them. And of course smile, it makes them feel better.

The same is true not only with face-to-face interactions but through customer service through phone or live chat. Call centers are known for providing this kind of service. Even on the other line, customer service reps can still do something to make the experience worthwhile and awesome.  By taking care of every concern and being attentive, you make your business to be centered around your customers and their welfare.

One proof that shows your company is great is by hearing stories from customers talking about their experiences. In business, this is popularly known as “word-of- mouth marketing”. It is simply about telling others about customers’ experience to others. You also want people to know how you treat them and how you will treat their friends, family and relatives. This allows you to promote your business without preparing big advertising budgets next year.

By creating a ‘customer-centric’ business, you make a big impact to new and existing customers. It is time to deliver a great experience and see how they can make your cash registers ring.
