Let us ask you: What’s most important to your business?
Making money? Growth? Or customer satisfaction? Whatever it is, I bet you’ll agree customers are pretty high on that list (if not the top). Because if you take care of them, you’re already winning.
This quote sums things up nicely:
“Customers are the beating heart of every business”.
Amen to that!
They’re the bread to your butter. The fish to your chips. The dog to your bone. Whether they’re old, new borrowed, or blue – keeping them happy is what keeps your business running each day. That’s a fact.
But managing them takes time – which is something you don’t have a lot of. And time is also super important to business growth and success.
As a small business owner, do you feel your work-load is overwhelming at times? Your tasks never-ending? An average day consists of serving customers, managing payments, training staff, admin, booking appointments, marketing, and… WOAH. Let’s stop there, as that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
Maybe you’re a hairdresser, photographer, DJ, tour guide, or masseuse. So you make your money by selling your time – meaning it’s even more precious. What’s more is that customers aren’t showing-up for their appointments. Boo-hoo! As once that time has gone, there’s no getting it back. So buh-bye business opportunity.
To sum up –
- Your customers aren’t getting the attention they deserve
- Your time is limited and super precious
- Customers aren’t showing up meaning lost revenue
