100+ Ways to Create Customer Loyalty in Business

2022-08-07T17:45:51-04:00July 26th, 2011|Leadership|0 Comments

68. Remember Me, PLEASE! The power of a phone call: A recent phone call I made brought a client to say "Wow, I can't believe you called (said 3 times!). People just don't call any more just to talk, this is great, I rate a phone call." Be different, make the phone call! The power of a gift: A business gift, like a funny pen or note paper, purchased from the clearance area of a big box office supply store rates smiles, showing off, and may bring you a photo of clients that says "world's #1 Coach". Loyalty doesn't cost a lot. It's in the niceness of life. Thanks to: Maria Marsala of Act Now Seminars.

The world I grew up in, Wall Street, compensated me for my 16 hour days with a salary plus incentives. At the end of the firms fiscal year, I was called into the office and asked what I thought I should get for the year's profit.   My boss had other ideas and I would find out what those ideas were at bonus time.  My overall salary for the year was based on my performance for the year plus a few other things -- all based on results. I LOVED that pay system. Today, I'm offering a total of 10 new clients a year of EduCoaching(TM) where you'll compensate me largely for the results you see in your

More than a year ago, I learned a lesson the hard way. I had my LinkedIn account shut down because the word "Coach" was in the first name, last name area of my LinkedIn profile. Someone had "flagged" my profile. LinkedIn reminded to read the LinkedIn Agreement and fix my name so that the area only included my name. I am noticing, especially in groups whose target is women who want to be millionaires, but on many LinkedIn Groups as well, that the first time I get to "see" a person is by looking at their logo. Social networking is about getting to know, like, and trust people who you may want to do business with.
