Retain or Replace Your Customers?
November 10, 2021
Recently we did an interview with Basel Nassar the founder of Boss Nation, a collection of dog and cat food, treats and gear. During that
conversation Nassar talked about relationships and how important those are when he is enlisting stores to carry his products. He said, "My marketing team wants me to spend thousands of dollars in social media outreach, and while that is important, I don't believe it is better than building solid personal relationships with the people who carry our brand."
He is so spot on.
That comment led me to this Marketing Tip and it's about building relationships with those who sell your product and those folks that buy your product. The bottom line is that we all, each of us, want to matter. We want to matter in our personal and our business lives. If we matter (or have a relationship) we are much more inclined to stay with a product or service and often for years.
That is true of startups and established businesses…but sometimes the bigger we get…the more distance we put between our business and our customers.
Click the player to listen to the entire story. It takes only five minutes but it could change how you think about your...customers...you know, the people who matter.
Thanks for reading and for listening.
