Subscribers to my e-zine Marketing Edge will no doubt recall my article in January 2008 “Networking That Produces Results-How to Work That Room!” (http://www.zee2a.com/marketingedge/ ezine080101.html, also published on iSnare.com).

Today I’m not going to focus on working the room, but on working the entire concept. I’ll be discussing three essential elements that absolutely have to be at the forefront of any networking that you do. I am taking it as a ‘given’ that you are in the professional services arena, are offering a premium service, and are not trying to be the cheapest provider in town.

There are numerous business arguments for spending time and money on customer service, all of which have their own merits outweighing much of the downsides. Running a business without adequate customer service is one sure fire way to lose out in the long run, in terms of both customers and cost to your business. Customer service should be approached as a fixed cost that is also an investment in customer retention and goodwill, and ultimately in bottom line profits. By allotting adequate resources to the cause, your business will undoubtedly see a benefit from the customer service it provides.
