(more) SERVPRO of the Twin Ports does first responding to situations where there is a need for cleaning and disinfection.  All workers must enter work space with appropriate protective equipment and supplies to remove hazards.  The utmost in care and precaution must be observed.   This changes our business, dramatically.    We are deeply concerned with those displaced by the recent travel restrictions and closing of restaurants and bars.  So many are left without work and resources all of a sudden.  We  hope and pray for a rapid resolution to this matter.

Paying for referrals ends up biting you in the end.  It is better to earn them by quality work and doing what you say you will do.  Exceeding expectations is what gets referrals, not a bribe.

It's face to face, one on one contacts to establish relationships.  Putting on social events and going out to learn about someone else's business is helpful.  Strategic linking is very important.  Don't be afraid to spend money on lunches or happy hour visits with people you want to do business...

Anytime you’re dealing with someone you know well, you have to be careful not to allow misunderstandings get in the way of your relationship.  No relationship is worth losing over money. So especially if you’re working with a friend or relative that is particularly fussy or difficult it might be better to refer them to someone else. If you end up passing on the referral… It is advisable to tell the other person why to make sure they know just how important the relationship is. Most of the time when I have done business with close friends and family it has worked out just fine but if you feel things heading south it is best to pass a referral.

(more) 1) Realize that the customer is not happy for some reason.  Maybe they are stressed out, maybe they don't appreciate how long  it is taking, quality of work...etc.   2) Find out why they are upset.  Identify the issues carefully.  Talk it through with the customer to make sure they know you understand the issues.  WRITE OUT the concerns on your notebook.  Listen while the customer unpacks their concerns.  Do NOT interrupt or try to defend yourself or make excuses.  Repeat back what you have learned.  Make sure the customer knows you understand.  Apologize for any shortfalls. 3) Create a plan to bring about a satisfactory resolution.  Right there.  Write it up, have the customer sign it, then execute on it.   4) Check in with customer daily.  The more of an issue it is, the more often you communicate. Customers who are fussy, cranky, or miserable are an inevitability.  They ALL have at least one of those properties.  Try to think about the situation by looking through their eyes.   Is there a lack of trust?  How do the vehicles look, uniforms, grooming, manners, respect for personal property?   There are a million things to consider when developing trust...if you don't have it, you will have lots and lots of problems that will cost you precious time and money. Do it right the first time and things will go much better.

If you want to force a change, then it's all about presenting a compelling offer.  Which means 2 of the following 3...Price, Quality, or Speed.  You have to beat the competitors price, do a better  job, or be more responsive - faster.  If the status quo is going happily on and has been for years,...

I would say, if you do good work people MAY remember you.  If you don't do good work they WILL remember you (and tell all they know!).  Better to be remembered in a good way if you can.  Keep customer satisfaction as a top priority and snuff out all little fires before they become big ones.  Keep...
