Laurie’s Hot Tips:

Laurie Brown_Headshot_2-5-131. Make is easy for your customer to do business with you. Look at all your customer touchpoints and simplify the processes and procedures around them.

2. Remember, “People have infinite patience, but no tolerance for being ignored.” Greet your customer immediately, even if you are with another customer. A simple nod or “I will be right with you” can have a huge impact.

3. Consider yourself lucky if a customer complains to you. They are giving you a chance to win them back. Listen, trust, empathize, own the problem and fix the problem as quickly as you can.

Want hot ideas? Let the tap run.

I’ve written in the past about how I come up with some many good ideas (spoiler alert: it’s because I also come up with so many bad ideas). I’ve also shared how important it is to throw away the first dozen or so ideas you come up with because they’re not going to be especially […]
