7 Great Ways to LOVE Your Customers!

“If You Don’t Love Them, Someone else Will!” — RL Chance

LOVE, that wonderful word is the theme of this month’s blog posts. I started with My Thoughts on Love and now we’re going to make applications to our life, business, and ministry.

The legendary Zig Ziglar had a saying, “When is the best time to tell your significant other you love them?”

… “Before someone else does!”

That is crucial for everyone who renders service and depends on clients/customers for their livelihood. (That’s basically all of us). My question for you today is:

Do you love your customers — those you serve and who help pay your bills?

I know thinking of your clients or customers in terms of loving them may be strange but bear with me second. Do you notice the difference in how you treat people you “love” versus those you just “like”?

If your customers are helping you pay your bills, take vacations, contribute to causes you believe in or help you support your favorite charity or life’s mission, then I think it’s time you treat them better.

If you’re now asking yourself, Who is my customer? Then consider this:

If you’re an employee, your clients include your boss, your supervisors, and the customers of that organization.
If you’re in ministry, your customers include your parishioners or congregation, their circle, and the agency that hired you.
If you’re an entrepreneur or professional, everyone you do business with is a customer — suppliers, end-users, and your family.
If you’re a stay-at-home mom or dad, your customer list goes beyond the kids and include the mailman, other homeschoolers (if that’s what you do), anyone that you socialize with in the community, and the main breadwinner.

In short, your customers are the people who allow you to live the kind of lifestyle you’re now living or dream of living.

Before I give you my seven great ways to love your customers (in the form an acronym LOVEACT), think about the golden rule for a moment. If it means anything to you, then I think every professional, entrepreneur, and employee should take a good look at the way you’re doing “business” and remember that without customers, you have no business!

7 Great Ways to Love Your Customers

1. Listen to them. Everyone deserves to be heard. Plus, their feedback can increase your bottom line.

2. Outshine them. Everyone wants the best. Wow them by doing more for them than they do for you.

3. Validate them. Everyone wants to feel like they made a good decision. Don’t let them regret choosing you.

4. Empower them. Everyone wants to know, “What’s in it for me?” It’s not about you!

5. Acknowledge them. Everyone wants to be recognized. Let them know how much they’re appreciated.

6. Care for them. Everyone wants some Tender Love and Care (TLC). Lavish them with it often.

7. Trust them. Everyone values loyalty. Do right by them and they’ll stay faithful to you.
