A Great Customer Experience Creates Greater Profits

The hard work you put into your business should revolve around what you can do for your customers. The way you make them feel when they visit your store, eat at your restaurant or request your services creates repeat business, strong referrals and loyalty.

Four Keys to Customer Service

Art of Cultivation helps you create the simple solutions that improve the way you connect with customers.

Here are some of the ways we help you build stronger connections, along with the benefits they create.

• Set up a customer service infrastructure
  Focus on one-on-one interactions between employees and customers. Design tools and methods for employees to use when working with customers, taking into account their professional strengths and personality types.
• Make customers feel welcome
  A welcoming space provides a lasting image of what your business can do for your customers. We explore the fine details that can turn a customer on or off, from the way you answer the phone to how you respond to their questions.
• Collect and use customer feedback and suggestions
  The idea that “no news is good news” isn’t true in the business world. Just because your customers aren’t talking doesn’t mean they’re happy. Design questionnaires and feedback forms so they can easily share their comments.
• Customer service training
  Be clear on how you want your employees to act around, talk with and handle your customers. Empower them to treat customers like you would.

How these benefit your bottom line

• Improved loyalty, increased wallet share
  Customers are more loyal when businesses treat them well, and spend more discretionary dollars with companies they admire and trust. Studies show that a little equals a lot – even 5% retention can increase profits 25% to 100%.
• Stronger advocacy and referrals
  Customers will voluntarily and quickly refer their family, friends and colleagues to companies they love.
• Higher revenues and profits
  Satisfied customers will pay higher prices when they feel emotionally connected to a business and brand. This is the key to fighting Big Box retailers, chain restaurants and large department stores in your local market. By focusing on service and the customer experience, you set yourself apart from the company that offers cheaper prices but no connection.
