Over 64% of customers who feel they have a strong connection with a service provider said it was because they had shared values with the organizations that serve them.

Surprise customers with something fun, something new, something unique. Even if it’s a greeting, it’s enough to set things in motion and re-ensure customers that they’re dealing with someone who cares.

Sales don’t only come from cold calls. There are opportunities to develop customer relationships that lead to new and continued sales all around. The key is to take action and create the environment where these opportunities can blossom and then take advantage of the fact that customers really want to be wowed, they really do want to receive great service.
