Business talk

January 26, 2009

Having both experienced being a business owner (when we still had our internet café) and a customer (we’re always buying stuff, right?), it gives me an idea about being on both sides of the coin.

As a seller of services or products, you always strive to make your customers happy with what you offer them. With our internet café, we provide quality in our work especially with encoding of documents. This was what kept our clients coming back, since we even correct their grammar and spelling if possible. We also had to deal with customers who act as if they know more than we do. As an example, you’re focused on doing their job order while they sit behind you and tell you to do this or that.

As a customer, I’ve experience many times good service and have bought products that I’m satisfied with. Of course, there would be those not-so-good products or services that would sometimes send you off to a bad mood. Sometimes, mistakes and errors made by an establishment could be forgivable, it really depends on how they handle your complaints.

As a business owner, one should be sensitive about their customers’ needs and preferences. They should have the initiative to plan ahead on how to grow the business with their clients in mind, whether you’re selling burgers, fashionable clothing, cell phones or car lifts. Looking forward and beyond the usual services and products offered by everybody else will make a business stand out from the rest.
