Protect Your Existing Customer Base

So you don't have to look for new ones.

Happy Friday!!!  The best day of the work week...

It is much easier to keep an existing customer then to go and find a new one.  What are you doing, if anything, to ensure that your current customers don't jump ship?  If you are not making the retention of your current customer base a top priority you could be headed for some trouble, but it is not too late!  I was reading an article on the CRM Magazine website about the importance of protecting your customer base, and they offered some great strategies to try to keep your customer from turning to a competitor.

"First, reassess your relationship with your major accounts and determine how likely they are to change suppliers in the near future. The second critical step is to develop strategies to shore up your defenses and reduce the risk of losing customers to predatory competitors."

If you are interested read, "Is Your Customer Base at Risk?".

About Brianna Tinjum

I am happy to say I love my job! Everyday there is a new challenge and something new to learn, it keeps things interesting. I was very happy when we started Good Training because it gave me an opportunity to help people and share knowledge. Outside of the office I enjoy being active. When weather permits you may catch me riding my bike around the lakes of Minneapolis or hiking in Northern Minnesota. In the winter I get out snowboarding as much as possible and I always try to take a trip to the mountains. I made it out to Bridger Bowl in Bozeman, MT at the end of February 2008 and it was a fantastic time! Year round I participate in dance and yoga classes to mix things up. I love watching movies and you could say I may have seen too many. :) I also have a passion for reading - if I find a good book it can consume all of my free time.
