    Everything You Need To Know For A Better Trade Show
    Trade shows are essential for the growth of any industry. It is a great venue for customers to meet the industry leaders. For exhibitors, it may mean a lot more.

    Most people think that “just turning up the effort” a bit is all that it takes to truly Delight a customer. They believe that customer satisfaction is a linear relationship, the more effort, the more you put into it the happier the customer. That just isn’t the case.

    There really is a couple of ways we can differentiate this. The differentiator:

    • Something the customer expects
    • Something the customer never expected, but values once he has it.

    First let’s look at something that a customer “expects.”

    • If he isn’t getting what he expects he’s unhappy. When he finally gets it, he’s contented, satisfied.
    • When a customer EXPECTS something you can only go from unsatisfied to satisfied, no higher.

    An example of that is when a customer expects something to work..

    • If it doesn’t work he’s VERY unhappy.
    • If it works but just not quite like he expected he may be not be as unhappy.
    • When it finally works to his expectation he is content. He isn’t delighted, a long way from it.

    Satisfied, or contented, can be defined as almost a non-event, unsatisfied a negative event. So, there is only one way to go….down, discontent.

    Now let’s look at an unexpected result for a customer.

    • If a customer isn’t expecting something he is content because he doesn’t miss it. It is a non-event.
    • Once you start delivering something unexpected, and valued, that becomes a VERY positive event, a delighted customer.

    An example of this might be that you delivered what he expected (a non-event, contented customer), but delivered it in half the time that others have before, that saved him money (now that’s a positive event, delighted customer). It was so much faster than anyone had ever delivered it,

    Closing in on Effective Advertising
    Get out all the ads you ran last year. Go ahead. Tear them out of your magazines or newspapers (if you’re lucky enough to have proof sheets, so much the better). Tear out your competitor’s ads too—as many as you can get your hands on. Next, fold the company names, addresses and logos out of view. If the company names are in the headlines block them off with paper and tape. No

    Raising The Lifetime Value Of Your Customers
    Let's discuss a powerful, yet rarely talked about method of increasing the profitability of your self-storage facilities...raising the lifetime value of each customer.I urge you to sit up and pay close attention to this.

    Opening A Dollar Store - Does Location Really Make a Difference?

    An example of this might be that you delivered what he expected (a non-event, contented customer), but delivered it in half the time that others have before, that saved him money (now that’s a positive event, delighted customer). It was so much faster than anyone had ever delivered it, he wasn’t expecting it. He’s a very delighted customer.

    Of course, we MUST make absolutely sure that when we deliver the unexpected, that it satisfies a customer’s wants or needs, otherwise it wouldn’t be valued.

    Let’s restate that:

    • If a customer expects something, no matter how much effort you put into the result you can only turn a customer from unhappy into contented, or satisfied. Basically a non-event. He expects this from everyone, every time. You now become “average” as the best you can be.

        Once you “satisfy” the customer, more effort just doesn’t produce a higher level of satisfaction.

    • If a customer isn’t expecting something and it isn’t there, he’s a contented customer, basically a non-event. When you start delivering the unexpected you CAN turn him into a “delighted” customer, if it is something he would value. The only direction is from contented (average, non-event) to a delighted customer.

    So, what is the bottom line.

    • You have to deliver the expected every time to even make the customer contented, and get a so-so, expected result.
    • To make a customer truly delighted you have to be finding ways to deliver the unexpected that the customer would value.
