Why Good Customer Service Matters in the Trades

In the trades, focusing on customer service can sometimes take a backseat to worries about costs, materials, and deadlines. However, offering great customer service can actually help you make more money. Did you know that 86% of people are willing to pay up to 25% more for a better customer experience?

So, are you making sure your customers have a great experience? If not, it’s time to start. Here’s how good customer service can boost your business.

Build Trust with Honesty

Trust is key in any relationship, including between you and your clients. Being honest about pricing, timelines, and the work you’ll do helps build trust.

  • Be clear: Explain costs, timelines, and work details upfront.
  • Stay open: Keep customers informed about any changes or problems.
  • Provide reassurance: Make sure customers feel secure and respected.

Honesty not only builds trust but also strengthens your relationships with clients, leading to repeat business and referrals.

Communication is Key

Good communication is crucial for excellent customer service. Keeping clients updated, answering their questions, and listening to their concerns can make a big difference.

  • Stay in touch: Regularly update clients on their project’s progress.
  • Be reachable: Make sure customers can easily contact you with questions.
  • Show empathy: Listen to customer concerns and address them quickly.

Good communication helps build a good relationship with your customers and ensures they feel heard and valued.
