Always have your marketing communicate WIIFM (What's in your product/service for me the customer). 5. Give your customers both emotional and rational reasons to buy from you. 6. Thank your customers for their business. 7. The customer is always right. In their mind they are. You better deal with this effectively because it will gain or lose business for you. 8. Loyal customers are a businesses greatest asset. 9. Customers are looking to reduce risk when they buy.
