Everyone wants their customers to come back, buy more of the stuff they are selling. Getting repeat business isn't that easy though because there obviously are other people selling the same products and services as you.

In order to get your customers to keep coming back, you should get their feedback and use it to improve your business.

While you may be sure that your customer service is great, you sell high quality goods and so on, maybe your customers want more? And how do you find out if they do? Ask for their feedback regularly and give them what they want.

If you listen to your customers, they'll know you value them and they will be back to buy more of your products or services.

So much truth to this. I know that when I deal with businesses myself, if I feel valued, appreciated and listened to, I’m so much more likely to continue dealing with that company or organization. I try and take those lessons to my own business too!

I totally agree with you. I believe that businesses are also about building relationships. When you have a good relationship with your customers, they will definitely stay loyal. When customers feel valued and well-appreciated, they will continuously support you.

It's one of the reasons why I keep going back to Amazon really. They always treat me as a valued customer and I love it. When I had to return some things, they always help me and offer free returns (and even offer me a full refund before I have even posted the item back). I actually complained about a product being expensive on Amazon (the PS4 version was more expensive than the xbox One version of a game) and they gave me £4 credit for FREE!

Yup, it's crazy to me that Amazon has gotten so big but still makes you feel like an important and valued customer. It would be pretty easy for them to just rest on their laurels but they keep delivering great customer service too.

This is awesome. Knowing that even if something you purchase has faults you can always return it and get a replacement or refund. It takes the mistrust out of online shopping.

I agree with you. Costumer feedback is very important in business. You have to build a good reputation and image through them. It is always best to keep in touch with your customers. People say that customers are always right. I believe most of the time. It is best to ask them through phone calls, emails, and sometimes through surveys what they think of your services and products. It would be good if the customers feel valued in doing business with you.

Having a platform where you can interact better with your customers is one of the ways that we can get to build a better relationship with them. One good thing that I have come to notice about customers is that the earlier we work with them, the better it goes to making them feel being part of the company.

Point well taken. Responding to customer's concerns in a timely manner and giving the right solution can make them feel important. They feel that they are the topmost priority and not the least. Responding promptly to customers can build a good foundation to a great relationship with them.

Better the business has its own website, so it's easy for them to communicate with the customers and to know the feedbacks. They should have a forum for customer feedbacks, but they should fully prefer for those negative things.

It is true that asking for feedback regarding services and products are great ways to improve a business. But apart from that, it is also a great way to let your customer know that you care about their satisfaction and their opinion. In return, customers will not hesitate to transact with you again since they are assured that in case the product or services did not meet their expectations you are willing to hear it and even better, do something about it.

i totally agree. We cannot really guarantee that we can deliver customer's satisfaction every time but to truly care and listen to them will make them stay because they know that they are valued. We just have to make sure that we are able to address their concern and really work on it to keep them satisfied.

Acknowledging your customer's feedback is a big help to grow your business. By listening to them, you're making them feel that their opinions are important. You are able to get the information that you might need in improving the products or services that you offer. Consumers become more selective. What your customer say will reflect on how you promote your services/products. Whether you have a small or big business, you should always strive for the betterment.

Exactly, feedbacks are like the core tip to getting the best out of your business especially when you have so much to lose when you are not satisfying the needs of your business clients and customers. When you offer products and services, it's very important to give a listening ear to your business clients and know their needs and provide it. It's the only way to ensure the survival of your business.

The customer is the most important person for the business. Although this statement is correct, you have to qualify it. There is no way that you will let the customer mistreat the worker just so you can ensure that he remains as a customer. The business owner is obligated to ensure that the worker has proper working conditions. This includes being accorded with human decency and respect. It is also important that as well if the worker is dissatisfied, he will tend to do bad work which is counterproductive to your business interests.

I agree customer is the important end point in any business transaction. And not listening to them is going to cause more issues than anyone can think of. I'd say people should be really understanding towards what they can learn from the customer opinion. And they need to build their business around customer demands.

I strongly agree with this. Customers and visitors feedback is important for the betterment of a business. Their feedback and reviews will let you gain more trust, confidence, customers, and businesses in the future. Their feedback will let your business grow and will let you know which and what are the things needed to improve and what are the things they like the most with your products and services. Either good or bad, customer's feedback and reviews are one of the most important things that needed to focus on if you want to have a successful business.

Proper communication with your customers is an absolutely essential part of any business or freelancing endeavor. Whether it is ignoring feedback or not responding to customer support inquiries, not communicating with your customers is a guaranteed way to lose business.

I’ve seen many instances where people would literally band together and boycott companies because they didn’t provide adequate customer service. It was a big issue a while ago with the publisher Electronic Arts. They weren’t responding to customer support inquiries and feedback, and when they did respond it was either an automated response or extremely inconsiderate.

As a result, thousands of people got together to boycott EA and their products. This would be a death sentence for a small business.

Yup, these days it's easier than ever for people to voice their dissatisfaction, too. If people "vent" on social media, their frustrations with a company are on blast for everyone to see - and a lot of the time, other people then chime in with their own frustrations/disappointments. It makes good customer service all the more important.

IN the business world, it is often said the customers are always right. However, the truth is you cannot satisfy each and every customers. Sometimes customers' expectations are so high, that you cannot fulfill their expectations and they will remain unsatisfied. They will begin to say nasty things about your business, which might harm you sales.

Definitely, your customers can provide much-needed feedback which is generally unbiased since they experience your products firsthand and you should treat any complaint as valid before disregarding them, regardless of how stupid the complain may be. It also shows that you listen to your customers and having good customer service really helps elevate companies to 'great' status.

Listening to customers make them feel they are valued and you can also assess your business performance or your products or service performance through them. They are people not just mere customers and hence they need connection. Sometimes, even if they were not able to resolve their concern or get the utmost satisfaction from the product, as long as they feel heard, it builds good customer experience.

Consumer satisfaction is the best way to getting them be loyal to your business. Nobody likes to stay where he or she isn't valued and appreciated. So, when you need your business clients to be fully loyal to your business brand, make sure you satisfy them completely and listening to them is part of what's needed of you.

Customer satisfaction is very important because customers can make it or break it. One satisfied customer can build you a lot of sales. When satisfied, the customer will return to buy again. he will also spread news about your business through the word of mount. One dissatisfied customer will hurt your business. When talks about negative things, people will never check your business.

Customers value it when they are given attention especially when they are confused about a particular product and wish to know more about it. Also, when they have a complaint about what they have already purchased, it's very important to treat them with great caution because once they are not satisfied with how they are treated, you have already lost their patronage.

Customers are very important in the business. Without customers,business would be bankrupt. I used to be a customer service representative and I was very goon in listening with them. I had many customer because I gave them the treatment and the attention that they expected. I built rapport with them for this they made each other comfortable. Listening to them always and give the service that they wanted would become them happy and forever your customer.

This is very true! I once worked as a service crew in a fastfood chain and customer satifaction and feedback is really important. I believe that when a customer is satisfied they will share their good experience with their friends resulting that they will become our customers too. I also put myself in fheir shoes so that I will give out the service thatI also want to receive. Customers are the blood mainstream of a business that is why it is important to make them valued and special.

Yes there is feedback box in most of the fastfood chain shops. And it can be something that we can think about in there. And we can see that some of the time such feedback is what gives us an idea on how to get the better with the time. I guess we learn from the experience. Another thing is that such feedback builds the brand over a period of time.

I think if you want to be successful customer then you have to listen to the customers. And you have to understand that customers are what makes you rich. And they are the reason you are going to be in the business. So building the customers and having the recurring customers in your business model should be your goal. That's how people do it most of the time. I think we can learn from the experience.

That is indeed true. Some customers are maximizing their rights in the wrong way to the point that humiliation and embarrassment is there. Basically in other countries, the saying 'customer is always right' is not acknowledged anymore due to some abusive individuals. In online business, humiliations happen in tickets and in pages. Some customers are leaving negative feedback and reviews to show how dissatisfied they are with the service or the product itself. Lesson to be learned is as much as we wanted to please all of our customers, still there will be people that will never be pleased no matter how great the service or the product is.

You have to develop a thick skin quite quickly. I think the biggest thing I always tried to remind myself of was that often these people who would be abusive probably just had a bad day in other parts of their life and they were just taking it out on the people like myself who work in customer service. Maybe they had a bad day at work or were fighting with their spouse...it's never an excuse for someone to be rude to others, of course, but it always helped me a little trying to humanise people.

And once they feel valued, this is the time when they will come back and enjoy your service again.

Remember the saying that "Customers are always right" - this is exactly what this is all about. Your business exists solely for the customers that you are selling to and when they don't buy from you, whether you're selling services or a product, that would mar your business success. So, it's very important to have a listening ear to your customers and try to know exactly what they need and provide them. Also try and listen to their complaints because when you don't, they will feel less valued and as such they will seek better treatment from another seller.

Yes, you're correct but listening to customers may not be enough. If it's a first time customer, you want to give your best and a "wow" factor that makes the customer come back. First impression is very important to first time customers. You should put your self in your customer's shoe. Know and understand what the they feel and give what's the best for them. Make them feel that you understand and that you're competent to deal with the issue or any queries they have.

Being more mindful of their customers' wants and needs will put them in the position to provide products and services that are relevant to the customers and therefore have more chance of succeeding and capturing their target market.

Every business exists for a target market and most of its policies and marketing activities are geared towards selling to that market. While we can't please all of them, a business owner should strive to provide the best value to the majority of its customers and at the same time give other customers good reasons to come back.

Listening to customers is my job because I am a customer service representative. You need to listen to them carefully so you can help them with their problem, and to give them an advice on how to solve their specific problem. But the customer is not always right all the time, there is some instance that the agent is right.

I've read somewhere an article on another Ionicware website about treating small clients the same way you would treat big clients. We basically have to give the best service and support equally to all our clients. This would make them feel cared for and there's a higher chance of them leave you with a great feedback and could also be regular clients.

I agree with you that our customers are the most vital thing in our business. We have to listen to our customers and make them feel that they are valued. We are also customers of other businesses and we must know how we want to be treated.

I agree with you 100% on this. We normally say customers are the kings and we are their servants, thus we do what we can to make them happy. At times we clearly know they are wrong but then we go slow on them just to massage their ego and make them feel good and listened and appreciated. Some just want to be listened and appreciated. It therefore calls the workforce to know that customers are always right, and even if they suggest something that cannot be done, they simply have to listen to them and assure them that all is well.

Listening to customers is a good thing because if you will listen to your customer's feedback, you will know the things that you are doing like if you are doing it wrong or right. You will also have an idea of what are the things that you can be improved to boost your business.

We do have different kinds of customers and it's my personal experience dealing with difficult ones. However, I can't remember even a time when some dissatisfied client approached me and leave still unsatisfied and it's not because of anything else but only because I listen carefully to their concerns and try every possible solution to their problems or make amends if there are shortcomings on our part.

Customers are always right. They must be treated that way. With their feedbacks, it must be put to mind, especially if you want your business to go forward and be successful. If you will treat your business like your life depends on it, then I think that negative comments would be avoided. However, constructive criticisms are always there to help you improve.

If any business wants to build it's own business, then they have to listen to customers. And they definitely need to understand what the best can be done. So I'd say that customers need to be listened to. And lot of people can benefit business if they are being listened. I'd also so say having the feedback system helps too.

I think that listening to your customers and getting there feedback is very essential for running a successful business. The feedback that the customers give can be used to analyze and improve our product and services. If we are able to keep our customers happy and satisfied then it will definitely create a goodwill for our business and the customers will make us their first preference. Satisfied customers will always spread the good word about our business and thus help us in increasing our profits.

Hello!

Listening to customers is identical to customer satisfaction. It is heavily connected with customer service, which is really important. A customer who isn't listened to will leave and might get even angry. Imagine if he has 50 people in his circle, and he'll tell everyone that someone has poor customer service. Will they go there?

Yesterday we ate in a Japanese restaurant that is the favorite of my husband. We go there maybe once every 2 months or so. For the nth time, we were given a small slip of paper for a survey. I said that we had filled up that kind of survey already so we don't need to do it again. The attendant explained that the survey sheet helps them to improve their service and the quality of their food. I cannot quarrel with that kind of statement because an improved service and improved quality of food will definitely for the benefit of the customers.

People like to judge other people. This peer pressure can make you stray from the path you started to carve for your future. Don’t mind other people’s aspirations, don’t ever let someone else’s goals and dreams influence your vision of life. It’s your path and you decide where it takes you and how long it takes you to see it through.

Your customers have high expectations of the companies they choose to patronize. And, as it turns out, only one instance of missed expectations can make customers change providers for what they perceive to be a better opportunity.
