7 Laws Of Customer Satisfaction

These ‘customer satisfaction’ laws will keep you ahead of your competition, says Ken Makovsky of Makovsky and Co.:

1. Treat the customers you have as though they’re prospects.

2. View customers as partners – members of your team.

3. Consider recruitment as serious business – and hire only the best.

4. Give your staff members the tools they need to build skills and develop professionally. And evaluate them on what they accomplish, not hours worked.

5. Prepare for the inevitable conflicts that arise in any customer relationship with this thought in mind: “It’s how you handle a problem that sets one professional or organization apart.”

6. Invite customer complaints instead of just responding to what comes in.

7. Foster exchanges among your organization’s groups and individuals to get their ideas on how to better satisfy customers. And test what you assume is working – even your best programs.
