The era of “offer it and they will come” is over. There’s a lot more to being successful these days than just having plenty of cash, an exciting sales pitch, or an outlandishly loud voice.
Set up a customer service program. Request the opinions of others around you. Show your customers that they are your company’s most valuable asset. Your company’s viability today can be attributed in part to them.
