Managing customer relationships effectively is one of the best ways to grow your business. Your customers’ experience before, during, and after they engage with your product or service will look different depending on the type of business you are in; however, it remains a crucial component in the equation of your success.
Thousands of small and large businesses in our region provide a service to their customers. Whether you are a personal chef, interior designer, or financial advisor, or you own a retail shop, restaurant, or pool cleaning service, keeping your customers happy and coming back can sometimes seem like a herculean task. However, the effort you put in today will reap benefits that go way beyond your initial investment.
A panel of local business professionals will address questions about their approach to service. What are examples of great service? What contributes to repeat business? What makes the East End unique? What challenges are common across all businesses? What tools support great customer engagement today? What’s changed in the past 5-10 years and what’s remained the same? Their stories of success will provide a jumping-off point for a larger conversation about the art of great service in our community and inspire all business professionals to take another look at their own approach and practice.
Guest presenters:
David E. Astorr, David E. Astorr, Inc., Wealth Management
Erin Hattrick, owner of Topiarie Flower Shop, Southampton
Mark Smith, co-owner of Nick & Toni’s, East Hampton
Deborah Stotzky, owner of Holistico Wellness, Greenport
