How Treating Your Clients Like Family Can Help You Overdeliver

Discover why you should change your approach to your customers, creating an overdelivering condition that makes them consider you part of their family.

In the business world, it's easy to see customers as nothing more than a source of revenue. But as marketing legend, David Ogilvy once said, "The customer is not a moron. She's your wife." In other words, your clients are more than just a means to an end—they're human beings with needs, desires, and feelings.

This is particularly important to remember if you're in the waste management industry. After all, nobody likes dealing with garbage! But treating your clients like family can create an overdelivering condition that sets you apart from the competition.

So, how do you go about doing that?

Here are a few tips:

1. Listen to your clients. When a client comes to you with a problem or concern, take the time to listen and understand their perspective. This shows that you value their input and are committed to finding a solution that works for them.
2. Be responsive. Nobody likes waiting around for a service provider to get back to them. Ensure you're easy to reach and promptly respond to inquiries or requests.
3. Go above and beyond. Don't just do the bare minimum to fulfill your contract—look for ways to exceed your clients' expectations. Whether it's providing extra pickup services during a busy period or offering advice on how to reduce waste, these small gestures can make a big difference.

Remember, when you treat your clients like family, you're not just creating a positive relationship with them—you're also building a reputation for exceptional service that can help you stand out in a crowded market.

So, the next time you're dealing with a client, think of them not as a "customer" but as someone you care about. By doing so, you'll be well on your way to creating an overdelivering condition that benefits everyone involved.
