Excerpts from an article entitled:

Customer Service in Today's Challenging Economy:
Why It's More Important Than Ever, plus, Five Tips to Get Ahead

According to The White House Office of Consumer Affairs' TARP..... 96 percent of dissatisfied customers do not complain directly 90 percent will not return; one unhappy customer will tell nine other people 13 percent will tell at least 20 others

Customer service and loyalty is more important than ever in today's challenging economy. We need to focus on how can we get customers to buy more, return more often, and recommend us to other potential customers.

Taking shortcuts when it comes to customers will only hinder your ability to take advantage of the business upswing when it happens.

Here are five tips on how to improve customer loyalty:

• Focus on Customers
• Ask for their input and ideas
• Fill the gaps that others left
• Think innovatively
• Their relationship isn't with your company, but with your PEOPLE

It's important to invest in your employees during these times: communicate frequently about your company's position, be sure they are well trained, and offer inexpensive perks that will keep them engaged and giving 100%.

"When business is slow, that is when we become more ingenious…. This may be a time for such a strategy" - Jim Rohr
