Are you ready to ask your customers this question?

Are you prepared for their response?

This is a very important question, and its answer provides great insights into your business’ performance through the eyes of your customers. Providing a recommendation to friends or colleagues is a personal risk … If you are like me you will not give out your recommendation willy nilly. What if your friend gets rubbish service, how will that reflect on me. I will only recommend somewhere if I can be confident that the product and/or service will live up to my recommendation. So does your product/service instil enough confidence in your clients that they can comfortably recommend your business to their friends and family?
