Now is the Time to Act

Now is the time to act. Probably not the most compelling sentence you read over the last couple of days with all the talk of doom and gloom, depression, recession and even the VAT man offering discounts! (Too bad we don't have an option to pay our taxes elsewhere).

But, if the doomsters are even half right now is the time to act to make sure that you do everything in your power to attract new customers and perhaps more importantly, keep the old ones. So how can you do that?

Providing value and service are the traditional measures, but as the politicians are fond of telling us drastic times require drastic actions and the bar has now been raised. Customer satisfaction is a now a minimum requirement, your target should be to "delight” the customer, engage with the customer and connect with the customer in an entirely new way.

You need to set your level of service so far apart from your competitors, that the thought of transferring allegiance never occurs; consequently you avoid the depressing spiral of downward pricing trends, you build further loyalty and create opportunities that will open more doors for your services.

By embracing new technologies you can elevate your service to innovative new levels, you can offer facilities to clients that are simply not available elsewhere, you can set yourself apart, your service can become essential and you can become closer to your client, surely the right place to be in these difficult times.

What’s the point?

In case you're thinking that there's no point in getting close to clients now, because they simply don't have any money to spend, think again. Nothing lasts forever and when the upturn comes and it will come, then customers have a habit of remembering who stood by them through the difficult times and who created extra value for them at the time when they needed it most.

Our extranet solutions can allow you to share documentation, specifications, drawings, site progress reports and other and contractual information with clients or colleagues. Furthermore you can invite clients to collaborate online to provide instructions, approve variations and sign off issues with a minimum of effort. You can improve communication both to and from site and with clients and colleagues and at the same time reduce time and administration costs dramatically.
