Converting customer enquiries into Bookings
One of the most important and time consuming aspects of your business is handling and keeping track of customer enquiries. After all, you are in the 'service' industry and ironing is the product you deliver. First impressions count and your relationship with your customer begins when they first contact you. To develop trust with your customer, you must have clear answers to any question relating to your business a customer may have. That could be anything from "when are you next in my area" to how a particular garment is constructed, fabric type washed and ironed or whether you can recommend a good house keeper.
Somewhere between all that you need to convince the customer that you are the ironing service they have been looking for.
... and earn a living. Your iron (income generator) remains idle while you chat.
"Every enquiry should turn into a booking. The customer has already decided they need their ironing done when they first contact you."
We can teach you systems and record keeping methods, even assist in handling of enquiries for you, so that you can focus on being productive and making an income.
