8 Ways to Blow Your Customers’ Minds
What is the CEO’s role as “CCO — Chief Customer Officer” in these challenging times?
I started thinking about this for each of my clients.
I thought, “What could the CEO do right now for the top 10 to 100 customers?”
What could the CEO do that would BLOW the customers’ minds?
Your Key Accounts
How are you handling your key accounts these days? Have you put an emphasis on retention and growth? I hope so. In this economy retaining customers is crucial. I’ve seen too many companies losing their largest customers during COVID and in most cases, it could have been prevented. Aside from the revenue they produce, there is potential for growth and with growth comes loyalty and loyalty brings referrals.
If your focus isn’t on your key accounts, it should be. With that, what could the CEO do right now for the top 10 to 20 or so customers?
Here are some possible actions:
- Write a letter or note
- Send a video message
- Make some phone calls
- Get on a sales meeting
- Attend a QBR (Quarterly Business Review)
- Send a gift
- Offer something extra
- Ask what can be done better
I took an informal poll on LinkedIn and 59% chose: Ask what can be done better. That can be incorporated in numbers 1–5 above.
Will you brainstorm with your team to determine what actions could be taken by the CEO and senior leaders of your company to make your customers feel special, become more loyal, make referrals, and buy more?
