The Customer is Not Always Right: Embracing the Science Behind Spray Tanning
Nov 21, 2023In the world of business, the phrase "the customer is always right" is often taken as gospel. While it's true that customer satisfaction is paramount, there are instances where this adage may not hold water. At Beettan, we believe that it is our responsibility to educate our clients about the science behind our spray tanning products and processes. We understand that a well-informed customer is a satisfied customer, and we strive to empower our clients with the knowledge they need to make the most of their spray tan experience.
Let's face it; not all customer complaints are justified. Many clients turn to Google or blame the product when they encounter issues that could have been easily avoided with proper preparation and aftercare. This is where our commitment to educating our clients becomes crucial. We believe that by equipping our customers with the knowledge of how our products and processes work, we can help them achieve the best results and minimize potential issues.
At Beettan Savannah, we go the extra mile to ensure that our clients are well-informed. When clients book an appointment with us, we send out emails and forms that provide detailed information on how to prepare for their spray tan session. Moreover, we take the initiative to call or text every new client personally, reinforcing the importance of proper preparation. While this may seem like a lot of effort, we believe that it's a small price to pay for customer satisfaction.
However, no matter how diligent we are in our efforts to educate and inform, there will always be clients who complain or fail to follow instructions. This is an inevitable part of owning a business. It's crucial not to let these instances discourage you as a business owner. Instead, approach these situations with kindness and a problem-solving mindset.
Kindness, we've found, often yields the best results when dealing with dissatisfied customers. Rather than placing blame, we focus on troubleshooting the issue and offering assistance to find a solution. This approach not only resolves the immediate problem but also strengthens the client's trust in our brand.
On days when you find yourself grappling with a challenging customer or a negative review, it can be immensely helpful to take a step back. Reconnect with your regular clients or read some positive reviews. Staying positive and reminding yourself of the satisfaction you've brought to countless customers can be a great source of motivation.
In conclusion, while the customer's satisfaction remains our top priority at Beettan, we firmly believe that the customer is not always right. It's our responsibility to educate our clients about the science behind spray tanning, enabling them to make informed decisions and minimize potential issues. In the face of challenges, a kind and solution-oriented approach will serve you well as a business owner. Remember, you are not alone; you have the support of the Beettan community and our products to help you navigate any difficulties that may arise. Stay positive and keep providing top-notch service – you're doing a fantastic job!
