How Much Do You Insure Your Customers For?


By Stephen James

You insure your motor vehicles Black Zach Gentry Jersey , plant & equipment and stock, but how much do you insure your customers for?

"Are you nuts?" I hear you saying.

Well OK, I'm not talking insurance in the traditional sense. But let's just take a look at an example for a moment to appreciate the true investment value of your customer base.

Let's say that you have been in business for 4 years and that during that time you had accumulated a database of 1,200 customers. Now let's assume that your overheads (rent, wages Black Benny Snell Jr. Jersey , advertising etc) are $200,000 per year. This means that so far you have spent $800,000 ($200,000 x 4) to acquire 1,200 customers Black Justin Layne Jersey , or $666 ($800,000 ÷ 1,200) per customer.

In this example, if you lost a customer through lack of customer care, it has just cost your business $666. So based on this scenario Black Diontae Johnson Jersey , do you think it is worth insuring your customers by putting in place a system of customer care initiatives that will keep your customers coming back and spending their money with you forever?

Hopefully you have answered YES to that question.

So what could you do to go that extra mile, exceed your customer's expectations and transform that relationship from just customer, into customer and friend?

Well here are 7 proven ways to keep existing customers and turn your new customers into lifetime advocates of your business.

1. Send birthday letters. Everyone likes to be remembered on their birthday. And why not send a little gift? It could be a voucher to a beauty salon or restaurant (who should give the vouchers to you for Free since it introduces a new customer to them at no cost).

2. Give unexpected gifts. If you find an article, a book, an audio CD Black Devin Bush Jersey , or anything else that your customers may be interested in, send them a copy with a note saying "I thought you'd enjoy this. I just finished reading it and it's got some interesting ideas."

3. Send lots of thank you letters. Thank your customers for everything, even paying their account on time. Attach a small bag of lollies or jelly beans with your thank you note and have your customers talking about you and giving you more business.

4. Hold seminars, breakfasts or lunches for your good customers. Have a speaker on an interesting topic and ask your customer to bring a friend. A great way for your customer to build a relationship with their own customers, and a great way for you to introduce prospective new customers to your business.

5. Let your customers in on how you do things. The next time a customer visits your office or store Black James Conner Jersey , show them around. Explain to them what the various people in your office or store do.

6. Educate your customers. By educating your customers through newsletters, seminars and reports, you will be showing them that you are knowledgable at what you do. The more highly they think of you, the more they trust your advice, products and service.

7. Conduct customer surveys. You may think you are doing a great job Black JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , however, if your customers don't agree, you will have to change or risk losing them. By seeking customer feedback, your customers will feel that you value their opinion and you will ultimately be in a better position to service their needs.

This is not an exhaustive list. The ways in which you can reward your customers and serve them better are only limited by your imagination.

Start putting better yet all of these ideas into practice and watch the enthusiastic response from your customers put money in your bank account!
