Expect the best

First and foremost, don’t wait for customers to prove their worth before you start to take steps to cement the relationship. Always assume from the beginning that new customers are going to be long-term loyal customers and treat them as such.

Quality products

When customers are satisfied with the quality of your products, not only will they stick with you, but they will most likely refer other people to you. Also, make it a point to be knowledgeable and confident about every aspect of your product, because customers will ask questions more often than not.

Service delivery

Never make the mistake of relaxing or slacking when it comes to excellent service delivery. Always deliver the service and or goods you promised and as promised. With that said, do not make promises you can not keep or lie about your products.

Communicate

Communicating with your customers will help build a good business/customer relationship, especially for online sellers. Make it a point to put your customers at ease by keeping in touch throughout the delivery process. Imagine a seller contacting you just to find out if you are satisfied with the product you received.

Go the extra mile

Make exceeding the expected an objective of your business. It will not hurt your business to make more effort than expected of you. You could even ask your customers for suggestions on how to improve your services.

Special offers

Special offers and discounts will always count for something. Once in a while, make offers your customers won’t be able to refuse.

As a business owner, always remember that your profit is important, but your customers are more important. Pay attention to your customers because they determine the growth of your business.
