Some construction professionals have dismissed the importance of customer service in the construction industry, not worrying if the customer experience is good, as long as the project result meets expectations. Don’t make this mistake - your company is not a single-dimensional company. Yes, you are a construction company, so you must provide quality construction services. However, the customer is the reason for your work, and so the entirety of their experience matters, not just the result. Extraordinary customer experiences create happy customers, and happy customers generate new business.
“If you do build a great experience, customers tell each about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.”
- Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com
We know from personal experience and business statistics that the recommendation of a trusted friend, family member, or associate is valued highly when consumers are choosing between service providers. Ensure that the words coming from your customers’ mouths are glowing recommendations by providing the best customer experience from start to finish.
“A satisfied customer is the best business strategy of all.”
– Michael LeBoeuf, Author of How to Win Customers & Keep Them for Life
Satisfied customers will return time and time again as repeat customers. Repeat customers lower customer acquisition costs and ease the start-up of new projects because your repeat customers already know what type of experience to expect. They are coming to the table with a built-in trust in your company and loyalty to your services.
“A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is – it is what consumers tell each other it is.”
- Scott Cook, Co-Founder of Intuit
