​This is one of those posts I wish I could get EVERY small business owner to read. So many of you underestimate the power of exceptional service, not just to build a more substantial business but to sustain it as well. This is a short post this morning and focused on one of the very best tools you have to make 2020 your best year yet - customer service.

Last year while searching the Internet for reliable statistics to share in one of my ClickCon presentations, I wandered into groovehq.com. It was jam-packed with statistics supported the importance of customer service. And the way it was presented made so much sense - unlike statistical sites that could put a rock to sleep.

For example, I pulled three key points from their information:

Everyone is always in search of new databases to grow their business. Too often, you forget about the goldmine you've got right at your fingertips with your past clients.
  • Selling to a happy existing customer is fourteen times easier than to a new one!
Then, customer retention is essential. Your past clients should be part of an ongoing network you work hard to support because they're already believers in your skillset, and they can increase your profitability.
  • A 5% retention of past customers can increase profit by 25-95%!
Best of all, the growth of revenue is directly related to happy customers who recognize great service.
  • 86% of customers will pay more better service

And that brings me full circle to my point. There is NO substitute for excellent service and nothing will build your brand better. It's not just about great products and on-time deliveries, but the entire customer experience. It starts and ends with you!
