Keeping Online Customers Away From Your Compettition

1. Stay In Touch

Stay in contact with customers on a regular basis. Offer

them a free e-zine subscription. Ask customers if they want

to be updated by e-mail when you make changes to your

Web site. After every sale follow-up with the customer to

see if they are satisfied with their purchase.

2. Friendly Web Site

Make it easy for your customers to navigate on your Web

site. Have a "FAQ" page on your Web site to explain

anything that might confuse your customers. Ask them to fill

out an electronic survey to find out how make your Web

site more customer friendly.

3. Easy And Free Communication

Make it easy and for your customers to contact you. Offer

as many contact methods as possible. Allow customers

contact you by e-mail. Hyperlink your e-mail address so

customers won't have to type it. Offer toll free numbers for

phone and fax contacts.

4. Teach Your Employees

Make sure employees know and use your customer service

policy. Give your employees bonuses or incentives to practice

excellent customer service. Tell employees to be flexible with

each individual customer, each one has different concerns,

needs and wants.

5. Impress Your Customer

Give your customers more than they expect. Send thank

you gifts to lifetime customers. E-mail them online greeting

cards on holidays or birthdays. Award bonuses or discounts

to customers who make a big purchase.

6. Be Nice

Always be polite to your customers. Use the words Please,

Thank You, and Your Welcome. Be polite to your customers

even if they are being irate with you. Always apologize to

your customers should you make a mistake. Admit your

mistakes quickly and make it up to them in a big way.

Since 1992, I have tried every type of at home and MLM business and have never seen results.  My problem has never been hard work or devotion, but a lack of training and expertise.  I have been working for others for 17 years and it's my turn to finally enjoy the fruits of my labor, without having to rely on the success of others, as in a traditional MLM.

I am a professional, who was looking for some extra money in my spare time.  What I found was so much more than I had ever imagined.  Not only did I start making money right away, but I am now getting ready to fire my boss.  

I recently started an internet business working part time from home.  I have received step-by-step training from a couple of self-made millionaires.  They are on a mission to create 100 more millionaires by 2012, and I am on the road to becoming one of them. 

It's hard to believe how easy this system is.  They continuously give me the necessary tools and support to ensure my success, which has also given me immediate results. 

The ongoing training and support are incomparable in this industry.  I cannot believe that I immediately started making sales.  I am thrilled with the changes in my life and look forward to helping others on the road to financial freedom.

Believe me, if I can do it, ANYONE can do it.
