Why don’t customers RETURN? 62% of the reasons customers fail to continue business with you PERCEIVED INDIFFERENCE

Why don’t customers RETURN? Even if they know, like and trust you, THEY WILL FORGET YOU if you don’t keep in touch!

Case Study: Window Washer  Did a great job – I know, like and trust him!  Offers OTHER services I could use – roof & gutter cleaning, walkway/driveway pressure washing  Has more work than he can handle by himself, and wants to attract more business so he can afford to hire more help.  Have not heard from him since he cleaned windows 5 months ago!

Case Study: Window Washer OOPS!  How will I remember his name and how to contact him?  Will he get my repeat business/referrals? It costs a lot more to acquire a new customer than it does to retain an existing one. What are YOU doing to be remembered by YOUR customers, prospects and referral partners?

Case Study: Window Washer  Idea: Send four stay-in-touch cards a year, using automated campaign feature.  Cost: $4.24 (including postage) and a little time to set it up and click “send” ONCE.  ROI: Service visits yield $200-$500; ROI well worth $4.24 to keep me as a customer and attract referrals, too! IDEA: Each quarter the customer receives a valuable tip that is relevant to household maintenance needed for that time of year. Examples: Spring card: “Here’s my recipe for the cleaning solution I use for streak- free windows. If you find that you don’t have time to clean the windows yourself, I’d be delighted to assist you. Just give me a call.” Fall card: “Here are some tips for cleaning your gutters to allow for proper drainage of winter rain and snow. Backed up drains can cause costly roof damage. If you have questions or need help, just give me a call. It would be my pleasure to assist you. ”

Increase Business  The right tools  The right systems  The right habits Consistently applied!

Campaigns  Single piece goes to multiple people at once (holiday card or invitation)  Template campaigns – cards get sent one at a time throughout the year (referral thank you)  Multiple piece campaign that touches the recipient at different times during the year -- creates value and top-of-mind awareness. Set it and forget it!
