About the Book:
We’ve been conditioned to treat strangers better than customers and to endlessly chase what we don’t have. But the key to a highly profitable and fulfilling business is acknowledging and appreciating what we already have—in particular, our existing customers.
Products are replicable, but the way you make people feel can never be replicated. You can stand out in a crowded market by making your customers feel acknowledged, respected, and appreciated.
Drawing from her career in customer-relationship marketing with major brands like Gucci, Ralph Lauren and La Redoute, Mihaela Akers lays out the essential ideas for building sincere, long-lasting relationships with customers who not only adore you, but who also eagerly buy from you for life.
In The Art of Lifelong Customers, you’ll discover how to:
- Become a magnet for high-quality customers
- Make your customers feel seen and appreciated
- Speak differently to different customers
- Build a VIP Customer Love Program
- Become best friends with your customer data
- Create an authentic emotional connection
You’ll find that the forgotten art of making people feel appreciated is the new science of making customers stay.
