There’s a saying that “a good reputation is more valuable than money”, but when it comes to the business side of things, there’s not much of a difference between the two.
After all, with no cash flowing into your company or trade, what real reputation is there to keep up with?
Your business NEEDS both to survive, which is why I’ve listed a few simple ways on how to build your business reputation to its fullest.
First and foremost, it’s important to place a strong emphasis on the idea of the customer always being right.
At the end of the day, the money these people pump into your practice is what’s going to keep it afloat. So, make an effort to show your customers how important they are and how big a role they play in the grand scheme of things.
Don’t overthink this! Sometimes it’s the little things that can make all the difference.
You’ll be surprised at what some people consider “going the extra mile”, but just showing a little respect or even implementing some kind of rewards program for returning customers can really take your business far.
On a separate note, one of the best ways to create a reputable brand is to have a good track record in terms of online reviews.
Whenever satisfied customers come your way, encourage them to post about their experience.
Studies show that 86% of people read reviews online before they make a purchase. Surprising enough, more than half of those same individuals don’t even bother using a business unless it has a rating of 4 or more stars.
If your business isn’t up to par, then you’re missing out on a good deal of customers!
The thing is, you can drastically influence this by encouraging your customers to leave a review. As the saying goes: “your brand isn’t what you say it is, it’s what Google says it is”.
In this day and age, that couldn’t be more true!
Not everyone is going to take the time out of their day to sit in front of a computer and type out a review though.
An easy way to overcome this is to offer a discount or something in exchange as an incentive to boost the reputation of your brand name. It’s definitely worth it.
Either way, you’re bound to run into problematic customers along the way who do the opposite for your business.
Stay on top of this the best you can by responding to their negativity in a professional, timely manner. The key here is to offer a solution and make things right.
Not only does this make the dissatisfied customer happy, but it says a lot for your business from a public standpoint.
Just remember, the customer is always right.
Finally, you should try your best to keep things as consistent as possible. In other words, stay true to what your business was originally founded on.
You want to be behind a brand that people can trust, which is why you should stick to the same recipe that brought consumers there in the first place.
Consistency is key.
Well, there you have it. I hope these tips give you an idea on how to develop a good reputation for your business and send more customers your way.
