In my short time with the CoreSolutions team I have been astounded with the employees here and their commitment to providing customer’s relationships that deliver unique value. Everyone seems to be focused on delivering value beyond the intrinsic value of an initial purchase. They seem to really value relationships that go farther and deeper then what clients have paid for. We are committed to making sure that every interaction is a high value for our customers. CoreSolutions does a better job at this then any organization I have worked with previously.
What is the importance of engagement?
Everyone knows the 80% of your business comes from 20% of our customers but how can we make sure that our customers are loyal and that they will return? After all, It is a lot easier to keep current clients as opposed to find new ones. The goal is to engage your customers to keep your business relevant to them as client engagement can show an increase in conversions upward by 25%.
How does CoreSolutions do it?
Many organizations have the “we put the customer first” attitude, at least on paper, but putting the customer first is only a piece of the puzzle. Going deeper into the emotional side of a customer relationship is where it really matters. Customers have to feel that you are willing and capable of completing all of the work to all project specifications, at a minimum. This is evident in the one word that many use to describe their relationship with CoreSolutions: Trust. This has been our key to building deeper relationships with our customers. This has a direct correlation to our employees. Our employees work hard to show that our organization understands client needs, delivers above expectations, and helps our clients achieve their goals, not just our own. This is why so many of our customers come back.
Adding high value wherever possible.
We are also very interested in adding services and content that is considered a high value to our customers. As a way of adding value we have started posting tips and tricks in our blogs which have been quite popular. CoreBusiness, CoreProducts, CorePHP, and CoreFM – for FileMaker, all have dedicated followings and are gaining more subscribers every day. While it may not be economically feasible to get out and see all of our clients, we also try to visit as many as we can. We want to get feedback and make it as easy for our clients to let us know how they like our product or service or alternatively what changes they would like to see because with each suggestion our product will get stronger.
This is partially how we keep our clients engaged throughout their time with CoreSolutions. How do you keep your clients engaged? Could you/do you offer free tips and tricks as well?
