Relationship Building in Business
In business the relationships you build with your customers your suppliers and your partners and staff determine weather you will succeed or fail. What do we need to keep selling our products over and over? Loyal Customers right. Building strong lasting relationships with the right people will explode your business success because strong relationships cause a ripple effect. The first thing to do in any interaction with a potential client is to get to know them. When your customer thinks of you as a good reliable friend are they going to go to your competitor to save a few quid? Think about the people you do business with regularly and ask yourself why it is that you choose them over someone else. It is usually because they have taken an interest and built a good relationship with you. People are getting offered stuff every day by companies they don't know or like and when they don't buy what do you think the reason is? Usually it is because the company hasn't made an effort to get to know them or their real needs. Even on the odd occasion when they do buy it's not likely that they will buy again from the same company. When you have a good relationship with a customer and they are satisfied with your product what do you think they are likely to do? Tell their friends. If you don't or if you have a bad relationship with your customer what are they likely to do? Tell their friends about it. Relationship building allows you to know what your customers needs are so you can come up with solutions that you don't have to sell because they will come to you. A lot of companies spend their time and effort chasing new business which is very costly when they have an existing client base that they are not getting repeat business from. The reason for this is because there is no loyalty and what creates loyalty? When you make the effort to build a good relationship with your customers you have just created repeat business and your continued success, and nothing spreads like word of mouth. Remember that the customer who buys a bicycle today and feels valued as a client could come in or refer a friend to come in tomorrow to buy a Rolls Royce.Mark John O' Reardon is a Business Results Coach and Trainer working in the areas of Business Marketing, Personal development, and Business development.
