Leaving A Great Taste In The Mouth Of Your Customers
I've recently had a great experience here in sunny Tenerife where I have been spending the festive break.
My brother and his girlfriend took our family to a great restaurant called 'Antonia Café'. We had a great meal with a wonderful selection of food, fine wine and deserts to die for. After diner we were shown through to the relaxing lounge area and we ordered some after diner spirits.
The waiter brought us some pretty hefty sized drinks, had a short conversation with us and as he was leaving he casually mentioned that the drinks we just had were on the house as they were his way of saying thanks for using his restaurant. Now that is a WOW!
Does he do this for all his customers? Probably!
But you know what, it doesn't matter as it was a genuine demonstration, what we call a tangible demonstration, that he appreciated our custom.
On this occasion we all had a fantastic meal and this final element to the evening was merely the icing on the cake. But it begs a question - How can you WOW your customer with a simple - tangible - demonstration of your gratitude for their business?
Delivering an exceptional customer experience and WOWING your customers is one of the key elements of successful and sustained business growth.
While you ponder this thought I will add an important additional piece of info. To WOW customers you do not actually need to make big lavish gestures, as "In a world where big things make little difference, it is the little things that make the big difference!"
I will leave this thought with you as we progress into 2007 and beyond. Have a great New Year!
