If you don’t know what your customers want, you will not produce what the market requires.
Think about the following:
When I'm a Customer, I Want...
To be taken seriously Knowledgeable help Competent, efficient service Friendliness Anticipation of my needs To be kept informed Explanations in my terms Follow-through Basic courtesies |
Honesty To be informed of the options Feedback Not to be passed around Professional service To be listened to (and heard) Empathy Dedicated attention Respect |
Customers have different needs depending on the service or product that they require and thus each business will have customers with different needs.
