Build Customer Loyalty!

In today’s tough times, it is extremely critical for any business/ Brand to have a loyal customer base, which helps it to secure its market share.

So, how do you build and maintain customer loyalty?

Firstly you have to know your own product/service thoroughly. The customer depends upon you to take the decision on whether she/ he will want to purchase your product/ service. If you give the prospective customer an impeccable service from the very moment you meet with him, then you are well on your way to gaining customer loyalty.

But, remember this is only the beginning. You must maintain the same quality and level of service right through the entire sales process which will cement your brand in the mind of the customer. The order, when placed based on the pre-sales process you had undergone must be followed up with the execution as per the commitment made when you secured the order.

The level of service must be maintained consistently during the execution of the order. Special care must be taken after sales as this is the crucial time when most business falter and end up undoing all the good work done earlier.

The after sales follow-up will finally determine whether you will have the customer’s loyalty for life or it will be another casualty. Impeccable after sales service is the corner stone of securing ultimate customer loyalty. Take utmost care to ensure that all existing customers’ queries, complaints are attended to immediately and respond to them each and every time they contact you.

I would like to add here that you will score highly in the mind of the customer if you put in place a customer loyalty program, where you gather all the customers’ details like, birth dates, anniversary dates, etc and send them a greeting on the occasion without fail. A planned periodic visit to the customer’s premises will ensure cementing the loyalty as well as the TRUST factor and also help you in not only getting repeat business but also get you a good amount of referral business from this loyal customer base.

Wishing you a loyal Customer database!
