Glenn Smith is a Growth Coach Franchise Owner from the Houston\/Sugar Land Texas area and is a highly regarded business coach, prolific blogger, an accomplished marketer, and has recently been recognized as &#8220;The 2011 Coach of the Year&#8221; by The Growth Coach System.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about Glenn, his credentials and his coaching services at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.TheGrowthCoachhHouston.com\">www.TheGrowthCoachhHouston.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Create a \u201cWow\u201d Experience for your Customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What differentiates us from our competitors usually has less to do with our products or services, and more to do with how we treat people! The best companies in the world get this and place a major emphasis on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegrowthcoachhouston.com\/create-a-memorable-customer-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customer experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I have come to appreciate and use what author Fred Reichheld calls\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ultimate-Question-Revised-Expanded-Customer-Driven\/dp\/1422173356\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1327061364&amp;sr=8-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Ultimate Question<\/a>.<\/em>\u00a0From extensive research Reichheld has concluded that most customer satisfaction surveys are mostly ineffective. He wisely advocates that we can know everything we need to know by simply asking our customers the \u201cultimate question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate question is quite simple. It is quick and easy to ask, and through research Reichheld and his team have created a scoring system called\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.netpromoter.com\/np\/calculate.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cThe Net Promoter Score\u201d<\/a>\u00a0(NPS.) The ultimate question is simply this, \u201cOn a scale of 0-10 (10 being high), how likely are you to recommend our product or services to your friends or colleagues?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From research what we have learned is that if our customer gives us a \u201c9\u201d or \u201c10,\u201d they are a promoter. If they give us a \u201c7\u201d or \u201c8,\u201d they are neutral. If they give us a \u201c6\u201d or less, they are a detractor. The goal is to prevent \u201cdetractors\u201d and to turn every customer into \u201cpromoters.\u201d We do this by creating a \u201cWow\u201d experience for our customers.<\/p>\n<p>I use this tool all the time and it is amazing how helpful it is (and challenging.) But as a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegrowthcoachhouston.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business coach<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegrowthcoachhouston.com\/grow-as-a-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive coach<\/a>, I\u2019m commited to delivering the most outstanding customer experience possible to my clients! How do we do this?<\/p>\n<p>Now it is not enough to just satisfy your customers. We must find ways to exceed their expectations. This is what creates \u201cWow!\u201d Numerous other research projects reveal common factors that contribute to \u201cWow.\u201d They include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How company employees engage and interact with prospects and customers \u2013 polite, courteous, positive, caring, and most of all being a good listener to understand what the customer needs.<\/li>\n<li>Execution \u2013 identifying and offering the best solution to solve the customer\u2019s need, then providing that solution with quality, speed and excellence.<\/li>\n<li>Problem Recovery \u2013 resolve and fairly compensate the customer for any problems; companies should have a clear, simple problem resolution process, and the frontline staff must take responsibility to solve the problem in a positive and efficient manner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once I get my NPS from the client, I start looking for what we did right or what we need to do better. It almost always boils down to one of these 3 factors. I hope you will make a commitment today truly create a \u201cWow\u201d experience for your customers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For today\u2019s Growth Coach blog, we are fortunate to have Glenn Smith as a guest blogger.
