Customer Retention Tips |
Train
your employees to do it right the first time
Repair, rework and
additional free services are very costly. Doing right the first
time guarantees greater profitability, happier customers and
more long-term customers. If you must do something over again
for a customer, do it even "righter" the second time.
|
Turn complaints
into additional sales
The customer is most
receptive to continue to do business with you after you resolve
a complaint. Using this opportunity to make a sale is both ethical
and practical. Your customers will appreciate your interest in
them. They will probably buy from you now and go out and tell
their friends how well and quickly you handled their problem.
You will develop a reputation with customers of credibility, reliability
and honesty.

History
of April Fools Day
The custom of playing tricks on people on April 1 began in France
after a new calendar was instituted in the 16th century. In 1582,
King Charles IX adopted the Gregorian calendar and accepted the
beginning of the new year as January 1. Previously, the New Year
had been celebrated April 1. Out of habit, many people continued
to observe April 1 as the beginning of the year. These people
received foolish gifts and invitations to nonexistent parties.
They were known as "April fools," and eventually the
custom arose of playing tricks on that day.
