Why Excellent Customer Service Matters… (And Five Incredibly Simple Ways To Make It Payoff!)

1.) Proven customer service tip # one: Can you remember the last time one of the main places that you frequently do business with gave you a nice customer achievement or customer recognition award?

Think about the last time you were inside someone’s business and saw a picture of that months “customer of the month” or quarter?

Think about how much more powerful that recognition would be, if the person featured, just happens to be a successful small business as well?

Maybe they can spot light your business on their blog as well.

2.) Proven customer service tip # two: Your long term business prosperity will be greater enhanced any time your business openly recognizes or acknowledges your customer and clients major personal events (such as) wedding anniversaries, birthdays, recent newborns, retirements and or  promotions etc.

Or other business promotions etc.

3.) Proven customer service tips # three: This next one is huge. Does it make sense for you or one of your top joint venture partners to periodically sponsor special one -three day seminars or workshops once every month (or quarter) that addresses your customer most pressing needs or issues.

If for example, your JV partner happens to specialise in a subject that really concerns your customer/client base, offer them two complimentary tickets at special discounted rate (if not for free) in order to attend this offline event.

You could also send them a link to attend a special “No holds barred” no questions barred free online webinar that answers and addresses these and other major concerns.

This type of low cost high powered customer service (power) move really helps to position your company as the one to do business with.

4.) Proven customer service tip # four: As often as you can and (as soon) as you can, have all your staff that frequently comes in contact with your customers and clients, get on a first name basis with them asap.

Because the sooner they are on a first name basis with (both) them, their spouse (and or) significant other and kids etc.

The faster your valued customer base will feel more comfortable repurchasing and referring your business, product or service to their valuable inner circle and contacts.

5.) Proven customer service tip # five: Have you ever heard the phrase “tell them why and they will buy?” It’s true.

That simply means, whenever possible, let your customers and clients in on the how’s and the why’s of your business philosophy.

Take the time to properly educate your customers (and employees and associates) on the methods to your madness.

Because rarely if ever do your competitors (big or small) ever do it.It will pay huge dividends over time.

In reality, you need to get up to snuff on how to do proper (effective) keyword research.

Because your main keywords that your trying to rank any particular content for; is ultimately 90% of your battle.

You get this part of your process wrong and you’ll never come anywhere near Googles first two pages of search engine results, without paying for them!

The other really important little known secret for you to become aware of is this. As a practical matter, every free (organic) listing on any search major search engine, after the first page (for all practical purposes) is virtually worthless, when it comes to generating any type of consistent traffic!

Because (as a practical matter) every free (organic listing after # ten (meaning) free organic listing # eleven and on, generates practically no consistent traffic to speak of!

Which means every free organic listing from page two and on is practically worthless to you!

(Note: That’s not to say if your currently listed # one or two on Googles second page, you may be able to elevate yourself to page one; but if you can’t effectively move over to page one for any keyword(s) your trying to rank for, stick a fork in it because your pretty much done.)

But if you’re not applying all of them in a synergistic manner, your better informed competitors will continue to beat you like eggs.

The other thing regarding proper keyword research is this, (statistically speaking) 90% of the keywords that you select to try and rank for (for all practical purposes) are completely worthless.

Because they will generate virtually no consistent traffic for you. Which means, the remaining 10% are your (so called) money (key) words.

The other thing regarding these 10% remaining money keywords is this; because they generate less traffic, because they get searched less, they by and large are what are referred to as “long tail keyword” phrases.

Because there’s far less competition for these less searched “long tail keyword” phrases; your properly optimized content will rank up to 500% faster than the highly competitive (much) sought after more popular one -two keyword phrases.

Which also means, that in order to consistently generate enough highly targeted free (organic) traffic from the major search engines. You’re going to need to consistently rank high on Googles first page for tons of (lower traffic generating) “long tail” keyword phrases.

In a nutshell, if your not prepared to roll up your sleeves and get to work. Leave this blog now and move on. Otherwise, stick around, because what you’re about to discover, (and hopefully) diligently apply, is more than worth the effort.
