Customer Service Cartoon


Beyond site optimisation and pay-per-click

I want you to think about your business in a different way: from the customer's point of view.

Firstly, if someone is looking for your product or service, how will they find you? Traditionally, the Yellow Pages and advertising were the answer.

Today, in a world where there are hundreds of millions of websites and a person in Brazil or Australia could be competing against you, you need to take action to ensure that you are highly visible to the online community.

One essential exercise that I always get my clients to undertake, is for them to think about their keywords – what words does a potential customer type into a search engine to find you? This exercise will focus your attention on the core offer your business makes to its customers.

Secondly, once your customer has found you, what is their perception of you? What do they think about you? What feelings do you engender in them? Confidence, security, irritation, distrust or sheer boredom? Is your website easy to use? What is your email response like, your contact acknowledgments, telephone response, service, product, delivery, feedback and complaints procedure?

A little about me

My name is Grant Dain and I was born in Durban - South Africa and have been living in the UK for 20 years now. One of my real passions in life is the thrill of the retail purchase and all that goes with that experience. Product quality goes without saying, it's a prerequisite for a happy customer. I believe that providing the customer with a world class service will see that they return year after year and recommend you to others. I am absolutely passionate about customer service and enhancing the customer's experience with a company to bring increased profits and efficiency. more...
