I have not only taken my business elsewhere when a business has failed to be honest about their product or delivery- but I've also told others about the experience- thus even more customers lost. Owners must make sure that every one of their employees buys into honesty being a core value. If they don't, your business will suffer as a result. The frontline staff are the ones to make and break customers- make sure they are on board with the company's values, vision, and mission. The owner can't take every call- and shouldn't- but s/he is responsible to ensure each customer feels as though they have received top-notch service ... which includes the honesty that you speak of. Thanks you for this wonderful blog topic.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2806064326499860821/7039125924250283951/comments/default/2989507756083464362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2806064326499860821/7039125924250283951/comments/default/2989507756083464362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thebusinessadviser.biz/2008/07/two-important-ingredients-to-customer.html?showComment=1216303860000#c2989507756083464362' title=''/><author><name>Lisa Spahr- A life coach for better living!</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12666999431146198121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thebusinessadviser.biz/2008/07/two-important-ingredients-to-customer.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806064326499860821.post-7039125924250283951' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2806064326499860821/posts/default/7039125924250283951' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
