cost to retain and resell existing clients, so minimizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualtrics.com\/experience-management\/customer\/customer-churn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">customer churn<\/a> is paramount. Every interaction with your clients, from the warehouse, sales and service, to the accounting department shares a responsibility to exceed your clients expectations, by going that extra one percent &#8211; every time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_the_Client_First_and_Not_Your_Product_or_Service\"><\/span>Fix the Client First and Not Your Product or Service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When I was employed as a field technician by Varityper, our titles were technical representative 1, technical representative representative 2 and so on. That was changed to Customer Engineer. Why? When you troubleshoot a client\u2019s problem, you\u2019re not only fixing their typesetter, printer, broadband connection, server, website or whatever your business provides &#8211; you\u2019re fixing the client. You need to give at least the perception of value. If you do fix their physical or programming issue, but come across the wrong way (condescending, untrustworthy &#8230; to name a few ways), then you may have lost a customer regardless.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Providing_Value\"><\/span>Providing Value<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Can this be done on the fly? Sure, but not with great results. Good customer support representatives go through extensive training for the sole purpose of maximizing their client\u2019s perception of the business. They offer solutions. The go an extra 1 percent in each and every interaction with their clients, from billing \u00a0and pre-sales to customer support. This pays off in reduced advertising cost, minimized churn, increased customer loyalty and \u201ceffective branding.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_you_remember-able\"><\/span><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-963 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/memory-1010902_640-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Are you remember-able\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/memory-1010902_640-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/memory-1010902_640-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/memory-1010902_640-148x148.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/memory-1010902_640-296x296.jpg 296w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/memory-1010902_640-512x512.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/memory-1010902_640-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/memory-1010902_640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/b>Are you\u00a0remember-able?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Are you remember-able in your clients eyes? Do you \u2018own\u2019 your business niche? Or are your customers simply satisfied clients? A certain level of support is expected from every vendor, so just addressing the item on that support ticket and closing it just doesn&#8217;t cut the mustard anymore. On your customer surveys, do you ask the question, \u201cHave we <b>exceeded<\/b> your expectations?\u201d Clients that rave about your company are the ones that promote your firm via word of mouth, impacting\u00a0their sphere of influence (neighbors, friends, family, business associates).

I see so many entrepreneurs asking how to develop a niche that sets them apart from the masses. Of course, whatever product or service that you&#8217;re offering has to be price competitive, but great customer support\u00a0should be the primary focus of your business or organization.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost Cheap Dedicated Servers\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
