I know your business is unique and you really do take better care of your customers with your customer service. AND none of those matters. Because when you try to stand out by saying that your audience says, “Ho Hum.” Because EVERYBODY says what you are saying. No one goes to market and says:
– Our customer service sucks
– We’re not very good at that
– We don’t operate with integrity.
You must find a way to distinguish yourself. And you do that by deciding how you will innovate to create a competitive advantage. It’s not that hard. You’ve heard it before, but you must know your ideal customer. And completely understand their fears, concerns, and questions about your industry.
It is typically not that they need their house painted. It’s things like:
– Will they start on time
– Will they be done on time
– Will they leave a mess
– Will they take off with the deposit
– And so on.
So, how will you answer these questions in a way that sets you apart?
One firm created a 12-step process that guided how they delivered their great 5-star service. Then, they put that into a checklist. From there, they asked their potential clients to ensure that the low-priced competitors were including each of these steps. See how simple that was?
1. What is the secret to your sauce
2. Turn that into a checklist
3. Use that checklist to distinguish yourself from your competitors.
There is a formula that, when you follow it, will drive new clients, new revenue, and profits.
