Show Notes

How can you exemplify exceptional customer service? Being courteous and thoughtful goes a long way in impressing clients, and usually that doesn't mean doing anything that hard. Smiling and saying hello when you see someone outside, pause your blower for a second as someone walks by, or pull up the trashcans for your client if you're there on trash day. Little things add up to delighting your clients, in this episode, Marty Grunder shares how crews can do just that.

When you focus on cultivating profitable, ideal, and sustainable client relationships, it’s the little things can make a significant impact. Marty shares how things like excellent communication, driving courteously, and sending clients visuals of completed work are easy to do, and are incredible ways to stand out “in a sea of sameness”. With smiles, patience, and thoughtful actions, your crew can set a high standard for customer service in the landscaping industry.
