Your Best Customer is Waiting to be Discovered

Have a customer testimonial for your Web site or marketing materials? Decent.
Do you make courtesy calls to your best customers just to check-in? Good.
So what’s GREAT? GREAT is knowing your best customer like your best friend.

Sending your best customer a special fruit basket during the holidays may warm your heart, but it won’t propel your business to finding other engines of growth for your company. Here are two simple steps that can help any small business owner.

2 Simple Steps to Joining with your Best Customer

  1. Understand the problems that your ‘best customer’ is facing. Have you completely solved them?  More than likely, these problems will surface with other customers as well. If you’ve satisfied every need (for now), you’ve still scored major points by showing that customer that you care about his business.
  2. Be a sounding board for your customer’s growth. Does your customer have hopes that you could turn into reality? Dreams that you could fulfill? Fears that you could diminish? Collaborating and becoming part of your customer’s team solidifies in their mind that you are not just out to ‘sell product’, but you are determined to fuel their business to unforeseen levels. It’s a rough world out there – join together for greatness.
