10 Simple Client Appreciation Tips to Keep Your Business Growing
Client appreciation improves your client relationships and facilitates retention—and it doesn’t cost much to execute. When customers feel appreciated, they’re much more likely to stick around, and they’re more likely to recommend you to a friend or colleague. If you apply a customer appreciation strategy consistently, you can greatly improve both client retention and acquisition, and sustain business growth indefinitely. Of course, client appreciation seems like a very simple concept, but to execute it effectively you’ll need to consider your strategy carefully. allbusiness 7 Ways to Position Yourself So People See You As An Expert
Developing a reputation as an expert in your line of work is a surefire way to bring in more business. But how do you go about getting people to see you as an authority in your field? You could earn a Ph.D., but that is time consuming and expensive, and you would still have to find a way to let people know about your hard-earned credentials. Or, you could offer to be interviewed on the nightly news if there’s a need for someone with your knowledge, but that’s usually easier if you’re already known as something of an expert. Entrepreneur Avoid Making This Strategic Mistake in a Recession
We are currently in the midst of the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression. The unemployment rate has hit a record high, and the International Monetary Fund is predicting a drop in our GDP of nearly 6 percent this year. If this is purely a supply shock, then our economy should recover quickly once restrictions on economic activity are lifted. On the other hand, according to a report from the Becker Friedman Institute of the University of Chicago, 42 percent of the jobs lost so far in this crisis could be permanent losses. If that is the case, then this supply shock will turn into a demand crisis much like the Great Recession of 2008, and recovery will be much slower. With so much uncertainty, what should a strategist do? Harvard Business Review
