NSBA Ensures Using an Effective Follow-Up Policy in Customer Service Will Retain & Increase Business

Oct. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Washington, DC – One of the easiest ways for a small business to succeed is often overlooked – good customer relationships. The essence of good customer service is forming a relationship to bring customers back to buy more of your products and services. Using an effective follow-up plan in customer service will help owners develop lasting business relationships. As one of the many benefits of the National Small Business Alliance, (NSBA) a company that “Helps Small Businesses Succeed”, Members can get advice on ways to increase sales by implementing a quality customer service program.
   
“Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business, and unless you can get your customers to come back, your business won’t be profitable for long”, said Robert Williams, NSBA Director of Member Benefits. “One important tool for generating repeat business is following up with your customer immediately after the sale. Contact them to say “thank you” and find out if they are pleased with your service or product.” A small business owner can increase sales dramatically by setting up a few standards to show customers that you value them and their business. “Listen to your customers needs, be helpful, deal with complaints, and be courteous.” Williams continues. “Shifting your sales focus to market to your current customers makes excellent economic sense in today’s ever-changing market. It’s vital to attract new customers, but since your current customers are already converted prospects, it just good business sense to keep them happy”.
