<p>Do you know what they&#8217;re saying about you?</p>
<p>Do you know where to look to find out what they&#8217;re saying about you?</p>
<p>If your long term objective is to grow your business with or without your direct involvement, it&#8217;s in your best interest to motivate a strong following with your customers as they&#8217;re apt to tell two friends and so on. Make them mad or better yet make them feel like they&#8217;ve just been ripped off and they&#8217;re more than likely never to call you again and tell several people what schiesters they think you are.</p>
<p>A good plumber is asking if the customer is satisfied and asking for future business in the event there&#8217;s a need. A great plumber is asking the customer to call upon the next next need, asking the customer to refer a friend and asking the customer to complete a survey to help the business improve and then following up to acknowledge receipt of the survey. Why go through all this effort? it&#8217;s not only good business, it&#8217;s a very effective way to market your business and it enables you to garner your customers to help market your business as well. <a href="http://plumbersmarketingsubscribed.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/what-are-your-customers-saying-about-you/" target="_blank">&gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p>

<p>A plumber once dropped some promotional material at my door which prompted me to respond since I needed the service being offered.  I called, scheduled an appointment for the next day and awaited their arrival.  Thirty minutes later, after the scheduled appointment, I called this company to find out the status and was met with <a href="http://wp.me/pJEqr-7" target="_blank">&gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p>
