How To Keep Customers For Life. How?



Any initiative to put the ‘customers first’ must be underpinned by the following assumptions:
  1. Reward them – make it feel good to do business with you; let them know what great service they are getting
  2. Forget about selling – people love to buy; they hate to be sold at!
  3. People only buy good feelings and solutions to problems
  4. Keep asking: ‘What’s the unmet need?’, ‘How are we doing?’, ‘How can we do better?’

What became of the UK's Customer First innitiative? Sunk without trace? Not a priority in a recession?

Customer First is still going although they seem to have been quieter in recent months. Or that could just be an illusion...
