Knowing what your customers want will determine your success more than anything else. Regardless of your industry, a crucial part of running any successful business is understanding your customers and giving them what they’re looking for before they have to ask for it. Whether you’re a pet shop owner, cosmetic surgeon or lawyer, there are a few things that everyone who enters your business will be looking for.
Solutions and Information
Many of your customers will want information to help with a specific problem before they make a purchase. By predicting that problem and offering help, you can stand out from the competition. For example, if you specialize in cosmetic dentistry, people will likely come to you wanting to improve their smile. By offering them a variety of solutions, as well as reliable information about the process, cost and results, you can show your patients that you understand their concerns.
Exceptional Customer Service
Even if your products and services are top-notch, many people may not want to buy from you unless you offer excellent customer service as well. Professional and friendly service is essential, especially because today’s customers often go on social media or review sites like Yelp and share their experiences – good and bad – with other potential customers. If you don’t provide a great experience, there are competitors out there who will.
If you want to build positive word-of-mouth and a strong base of repeat customers, you need to provide an experience as well as a service or product. Hire carefully and train your team well to interact with customers. Treat your customers the way you would want to be treated, and make it your mission to offer more than they expect.
Multiple Options
Everyone likes to feel like they’re in the driver’s seat. Your customers will feel empowered if they get to decide and choose. Make an effort to offer a range of different options and price points so customers can make the selection they feel best matches their needs and wants.
Affordability
Offering financing directly at your point of sale can increase conversions by turning a large up-front cost into an affordable monthly payment. Financing can expand your customer base, increase existing customers’ purchasing power, and boost your revenue.
