B2B Marketing Ideas: Every Business is a Service Business
Every business needs to think of itself as a service business. Why? Because whether you manufacture a product, build a building, or create a software solution, you are actually performing a service for the customer. With this mindset, you will foster a philosophy of “service first” throughout your company. Without this focus on exceptional service, a quality product only meets a part of the customer satisfaction equation. A service-focused approach affects more than after-the-sale support, it is a positive factor in many areas.
Your customers
The last thing any customer wants working with a business is a hassle. Remember, even an exceptional product can be tainted by a poor service experience. Combining great service with a top product result in high customer satisfaction and more repeat business and referrals.
Your industry
Both what you produce and how you work with customers build your reputation. With a stellar reputation in the industry, your brand is enhanced and respected. Because of this status, you receive more referrals and higher recognition with associates and vendors.
Your prospects
