Are you asking why I’m writing about this?

If I can find this obscure stuff on the internet think what you can find out about your customer, your donor, your volunteer, and/or your client. Knowledge and facts give you the ability to get customer’s attention and speak to them in their language to ensure success. Isn’t that what we all crave?

Now that I am a business owner I am amazed at how often I meet people who immediately want to talk about themselves and the wonders of their product. Oh, they may ask me some polite questions to make me think they care but their intentions are so clear. Trust me, insincerity and desperation is easy to spot!! Most have never been to my website or understand what I do but they sure want my business!

Show your customer you care, prove you’ve done some preparation, come up with interesting questions about their business needs and offer creative solutions to solve them.

Back again to asking why I’m writing about this? If it were that easy more people would be doing it. Do you or your team need some help? I’d like to get to know you. I will FOCUS ON CUSTOMER SUCCESS!
