The Ingredients Of The Best Kind Of Customer
There’s one thing that business owners tend to pick up on quickly once the wheels really start to run. It’s that the quantity of customer isn’t as important as the quality of customer. The best customers do more than buy products and services, they keep coming back, they help build the reputation of the brand and they can even act as a marketing arm of the business. So, what’s needed to make them?
High Trust Creates the best customers
The best customers have a real emotional connection with the business. That is built, in part, through smart marketing and messaging targeted directly at them. However, it’s also sustained by trust.
Creating a trustworthy website, ensuring that your marketing isn’t misleading, and avoiding business practices that could break that trust is crucial. Once it’s broken, it can never be regained. Even if they agree to become a customer again in future, you will have lost their enthusiasm.
The best customers are the ones created from good customer support
One factor that builds trust is the support and customer service that you offer, as well. For one, customer service is crucial for identifying and removing any potential barriers between your customers and their end goal. What’s more, it creates the feeling that your business is genuinely on their side. Fail to invest in the right customer support structures and you will instead end up with a lot of frustration.
The best customers are getting success from your business
Beyond customer support and customer service, there’s another level entirely. Customer success is all about divining whether or not your customers reach the intended goal and get the best possible result out of your products and services. Using metrics to measure customer success can help you spot the problems that stop you from retaining more of them. What’s more, it helps you create the best possible products and services that you can provide. If you invest in their success, they will notice.
Feedback is a great way how to identify the best customers for your business
Happy customers like sharing the stories of their success almost as much as they like experiencing. What’s more, you might have unhappy customers more than happy to share their concerns or complaints with you.
Accepting and, most importantly, responding to feedback can make both parties happy. It shows that not only are you genuinely engaged with your community but also that you’re willing to make changes based on what their concerns are and what they find important. There has been plenty of evidence of companies making big mistakes but turning the situation around by seeking and implementing feedback.
Referrals come from the best customers
As mentioned, the best customers can be even better at marketing than a whole building of advertisers. Word-of-mouth as only gotten stronger thanks to the internet. Using a referral program, you can encourage those happy customers to spread the word, offering rewards in the form of discounts or deals that only further encourage them to become repeat customers, too.
If you want more than short-term gain from your customers, you have to invest the time and effort into championing their success and genuinely engaging with them. Hopefully, the recipe above shows you how to start going about it.
