Do You Truly Understand Your Customers?
Unlocking the Path to Business Success
"The True Function of Any Successful Business is to Sell People Precisely What They Want To Buy" - Bob Serling
At first glance, this seems straightforward: no customers, no business. However, the high failure rate of businesses suggests it might not be as clear as it seems.
The Common Misstep
Browse through typical business ads, and you'll see a pattern: businesses focusing on themselves instead of their customers' needs and desires. Here are some frequent marketing missteps:
- Ads lacking attention-grabbing headlines
- Titles featuring only the business name
- Boring company history instead of customer benefits
- Mere listings of products and services
- Absence of contact information
- One-off mailings without follow-ups
- No subsequent offers after a sale
- Undefined target market
- Lack of market research
- A "build it and they will come" mindset
Putting the Customer First
Who is engaging with customers to understand their needs and desires? Successful companies do. They focus on understanding and addressing their customers' problems, offering solutions that enhance their lives.
Successful companies are customer-focused, not self-centered. They diligently research their target market and craft strategies to ensure their audience knows about their products and the benefits they offer.
The Customer-Centric Mindset
Many companies fail to realize that customers care about their own needs, not the business itself. Businesses that effectively answer "What's in it for me?" will naturally see their sales and profits grow.
Consider my own experience: while trying to sell a timeshare, a real estate agent promptly admitted her firm didn't handle timeshare resales but referred me to companies that did. Her sincerity was appreciated, but ultimately, my decision would depend on which company offered the best service, not who might receive a commission.
One referred company lost me with their upfront fee requirement. Instead, I looked into alternatives without such fees, focusing on those with strong reputations.
The Formula for Success
"If you want to sell as much as you possibly can and as often as you possibly can, the formula is simple. Find out what your customers really want and sell it to them," says Serling. "Make their lives easier and better. Solve their problems. Deliver their dreams to their doorsteps. And watch your company grow beyond belief."
Learning from the Best
Consider Nordstrom. Its reputation for exceptional customer service is why shoppers like my wife prefer it, even if it’s not cheaper. It's where she finds exactly what she wants.
