In today's world you should be in a position to have a drink and listen to your customers, their thoughts and opinions. You have to build a relationship with your customers the same way as you have built a relationship with all your closest buddies over the past 40+ years.
Here are five reasons why your customers are like your closest buddies:
(1) You cannot put up an image, you need to be yourself: Your closest friends know you really well and you can't take them for a ride. Similarly, your distributors are no different. You have to be very genuine and cannot put up and image.
(2) Do not brag about yourself: You know the consequences you would face if you brag about your self to your old friends. They will no longer hang out with you. Similarly, you don't have to brag about your products, your distributors and customers know how good or not good you are. Your focus is to try and solve you're their problems
(3) Your friends choose you: You were not born with your friends but you could choose them and they could choose you based on the compatibility level and wavelength. Similarly, you distributors can choose you based on the quality of service and products you provide.
(4) Your friends are straight and upfront: None of your oldest buddies are going to hide any information about you. If something is to be said they would say it out loud and clear. Similarly, your distributors and customers are very straight and upfront and will say what they have to.
(5) Long Relationship: If you survived 30+ years with your friends this means that both your friends and yourself were compatible with each other. Similarly, if you consider you distributor or a customer your friend and build a long term relationship, this relationship would be based on confidence and trust.
I have been in the manufacturing industry for the last 35 years and we started Tectools 25 years ago. A new client of mine in the United States sent me an email suggesting that the tools I just shipped to him looked very familiar to the tools he was purchasing for the past 20+ years. I really don't know if this was a coincidence or he may have got it from various distributors that I supplied to.
Back in 1980's and 1990's for every company to grow, the location was the prime factor. Every city's infrastructure was the primary driver for small businesses to grow. The better the infrastructure of every city, the more the people the city would attract, small business could thrive.
Today location is still a prime factor for a business to thrive but not the only factor. Companies like amazon.com took the advantage of the world wide web and successfully sell most products at the best rates. Our goal is to take our company virtually to the client (by Video's, Blogs and our Website) so that the client can have an understanding of who we are and what Tectools do. We are still at the incipient stages and are hopeful that we can accomplish this task successfully in the future.
