Expert Author: Sharon Housley Mastering the art of managing customer complaints can seem like a thankless job, but keep in mind that for every customer that shares their worries, concerns or complaints, there are likely more that did not express their dissatisfaction, and instead simply moved on to a competitor. Expert Author: Chuck Wallin Over the last decade it has been proven that businesses who make an effort to get closer to their customers stand a much better chance of retaining them. So why do so many businesses refuse to make the effort. Some simply don't know how. Expert Author: Chuck Wallin Many business decision makers think they have a good understanding of their customers. Just because customers are not openly complaining doesn't necessarily mean they are completely satisfied.

This can be the need for extended service hours, better financing options, or maybe a complete overhaul of a core product. Products can become stagnant. Change is the only constant today! Expert Author: Chuck Wallin Becoming customer focused is not something that appears on a task list and then is finished. Rather becoming customer centered is an ongoing process that can never be completed. It is always evolving and always trying to align with the changing needs of your customers.
