Studies have shown that there is a direct link between satisfied employees and happy customers, so it makes good business sense to invest in discovering what your employees need to stay loyal and satisfied. This creates an environment of positive, helpful people ready to bend over backwards for the customer. The use of employee opinion surveys along with customer surveys gives a great overall picture of a company’s strengths and weaknesses and provides a blue print for developing a strong culture of loyal employees and customers.
What does having satisfied employees have to do with retaining customers? It has everything to do with losing developed or developing relationships, the reason behind almost every return customer. Companies who pay attention to their surveyed employees end up with a much lower turnover rate, which by itself saves them millions of dollars every year in rehiring costs as well as in lost customers. Seems outrageous, doesn’t it? Surely that lack of retention can’t possibly cost so much!
On average, though, the loss of one dissatisfied employee will result in about 150% of his or her yearly salary between advertising for a replacement, training the new person, lost productivity, and overtime of others to compensate while waiting for the new employee to get up to speed. When the lost employee is management, the number increases to closer to 200%. This isn’t even taking into consideration the loss of valuable knowledge and insight provided to the customer by the employee! No amount of training will replace the knowledge that comes from doing the job every day.

As a professional resume writer, I regularly receive compliments from clients, generally stating how ecstatic they are about getting that great new job or promotion they were seeking, how many interview requests they have received since using their new resume, or how the interviewer was highly impressed with their resume.However, I have rarely received a compliment or testimonial quite like the one I received from Tara, a resume client living in a semi-rural area who contacted me through our website (name changed to protect client privacy… all other details

IntroductionResearch may be considered a particular type of learning device by which the researcher as a learner tries to discover scientific truth. By discovering the truth the researcher is changed in his ability to deal with the environment and is actively contributing and guiding others to better deal with their environments. This view is supported by Eaton (1938), as quoted by Snelbecker (1974) who stated that “when a man has learned anything he is, for a time at least, changed in his readiness to deal with his environment. He has become, with respec

Good typography is an art. There is a lot to know about type, from typeface design, to using appropriate typefaces, to learning typesetting rules and conventions. How you use type has everything to do with how your pages communicate and engage the reader. I could write about type for the rest of the year and still have more to tell you.As computers have rapidly taken over the task of typesetting, everyone, including the designer, has had to learn typesetting rules and conventions in order for their printed work to look its best and draw readers in. And now

Bootstrapping a business startup does not necessarily mean that you are unable to find traditional sources of capital. It may mean that you are clever, or that you know a bargain when you see it, or that you are the type of person who derives a certain satisfaction from crafting something using your own hands and vision, from scratch. If this is the way you feel, a franchise is probably not for you. A venture capitalist, if you could even find a member of that rare species when you are just starting out, is also likely to want some or too much control, and your
From the customer perspective, this lack of turnover means a more stable, responsive team to address their needs and concerns, something that those surveyed worry about. Customer loyalty, like employee loyalty, stems from a strong interpersonal connection to a common goal. They want to know who they’ll be dealing with when they pick up the phone or send an email. Merry-Go-Rep doesn’t encourage faith in a company and the downtime during training means time taken away from providing quality service.
Having a culture of open, responsive communication by well-known representatives engenders the kind of trust that many believe washed away with the last millennium. Thankfully, that’s not the case, because that kind of confidence and conviction can keep a customer during the most trying times.
No matter how hard we try, everyone makes mistakes, and they will eventually affect the customer. This being said, even the most hideous mistake can be corrected if the customer knows that it’s a one-off rather than a regular occurrence. This can only be proven through constant attention from employees they have confidence in before the slip-up happens. A calm voice and reassuring presence can be taught, but believing that the voice on the other end of the phone actually cares about them as people comes from familiarity, not the training room.
The most effective way to maintain a positive attitude during a crisis is to cultivate it in the office everyday. Employees who feel valued as people make the extra effort to go beyond what’s expected. They want to invest as much in their career as their career has invested in them. It’s a measure of respect and self-worth to know that if the employees weren’t there they would be missed. This positive attitude then spills over into everything the employees do and everyone they come in contact with from the start of the day to the end no matter what may happen. The customer is in tune with the idea that they, too, would be missed if they were to go elsewhere, and
