Your Reputation Is Key to Your Success

If you are in business or are considering starting one, you might not have thought about the silent killer: a bad reputation.

You probably don’t think that your reputation has anything to do with your success; but, believe me, it does.

Think about how many times you have heard a friend or colleague talk about the horrible service they received from a local mechanic. Chances are that opinion stuck in your mind and you probably won’t be taking your car there in the future. Have you ever decided to eat at a restaurant simply because a friend said the service was great? I do all the time. So, it works
both ways. Your business reputation could make or break your success whether you like it or not.

In order to keep your reputation blemish-free, you need to first work on letting your business community get to know you.

Attend a charity/community event and meet people. If customers put a face to a business, they are more likely to try it out, particularly if you are professional and seem concerned about the well-being of their city.

If you are involved in an Internet-based business, make sure that you are providing customers with the exact product or service that you have promised them. If not, your name could very well be dragged through the “Internet mud.”

Try to provide as much convenience to your customers as you can. So, provide them with reasonable hours to do business and, if they have a request, make a conscious effort to fill it.
Above all, be honest with your customers. If you have a sale starting next week and a customer buys an item that would have been on sale, inform them that they will pay less next week. You’re not losing out on money; you are gaining a return customer.

Customers need to be able to trust you. No one is going to do business with someone they don’t trust. Make sure that you are pricing competitively and giving the customers the respect that they deserve. Be helpful and courteous in your customer service and go above and beyond the call of duty. Believe me; going that extra mile could benefit you greatly.

Word of mouth is one of the simplest and most inexpensive means of advertising that you have at your disposal. So, make sure your reputation is helping and not hindering your success.
