6 Changes to Inspire Amazing Growth in 2018

Be Intentional About Customer Service
Whether you’re a B2B or consumer-focused business, the road to a loyal base of client/customers, who bring more client/customers is laid with trust. The competition is strong. While being the best is a worthy goal, people are looking for more than the ultimate best. They want warm, connected service – it’s what brings them back. In fact, both studies and surveys consistently reveal that customer service ranks above price. People are willing to pay for experience and connection. Even when problems arise – and they will – what matters is your response.
Focus on Employee Engagement 
Your employees are your greatest asset. An open door policy – taking the time to know them and listen to them, increases their sense of value. Recognize their efforts and achievements. Express appreciation – verbally, in written form, and tangible ways. Offer wages and benefits appropriate to the position + a little. Deal with conflict in healthy ways. Be real – an authentic role model – it’s a key motivator.
Facilitate Video Training
Training new employees, including support staff, is a crucial component of a growing business. Adopting a video training program creates a highly successful training program. Studies reveal that video training is more effective – increasing the viewer’s ability to remember specific concepts and details much better than when just reading a manual. Additionally, the video is more cost-effective and convenient, not only eliminating the cost of venue or travel but also allowing employees to train on the job or at home. Furthermore, video ensures that everyone learns the same material and methods. A library of video resources can be accumulated and used over and over again for both new employees and as refresher courses.
