3. Tip #1: Customer's Name is the Sweetest Desert to Him
Customers love to hear their names from others.
If you are a small shop owner, you should give a personalized touch to your customers by greeting them with their names. Apply this little tip,
you will get big results.
It is psychologically proven that every individual loves to listen his name.
In a survey of 100 people, it was found that waiter's tip increased by 14% when he gives good-quality mint along with the bill at the time of
clearing.
When there were children along with the customers, waiters bring candy for kids instead of mint and this increase their tip to 27%.
Though it won't cost much, if you give your customers some specialized, personalized and customized service, they will come to you again and
again, which will help you increase your brand value, brand equity, and sales.
Tip #2: Co-Creation of Innovation with your Customer
Whatever changes you are planning to bring in your products or services, you should take extensive feedback from your customers. Your
customer should feel that he/she is also the part of the innovation. This model is called the ABCDE model.
A- Analyze the needs of the customer.
B- Brainstorm the actual requirement of the customer.
C- Co-create; involve your customer in the product's creation.
D- Deliver
E- Evaluate
This is one of the reasons for Subway's success, as the customer creates its own customized meal. Co-creation empowers the customer and
if the sandwich does not taste good, then also the customer doesn't mind as he himself was involved in creation

4. Don't innovate on your own; involve your customers in the process.
There are two ways of innovation - 'Manufacturer Led Innovation' and 'User-Led Innovation'. Let us understand these two types of
innovation with the help of an example of 3M Company (a multinational company).
Manufacturer Led Innovation
User-Led Innovation
When 3M company innovates without taking much feedback from the customer.
Here, the company innovates with active participation/feedback from the customers.
3M brings a new product using Manufacturing Led Innovation, its sale was $19 million.
3M brings another product using User-Led Innovation and its sale crosses $150 million.
When you co-create with the customer, the acceptability success of the product increases many folds, as seen in the above
example.

5. Tip #3: Customers Love Loyalty Program if you make it Easy for them
- A customer is ready to take your service again if you give them the right reason to come back.
You can give two types of benefits, either financial benefit or emotional/psychological benefit.
Suppose you have three categories of cards, namely, Ruby, Emerald, and Diamond. A customer will get ready to
take Diamond card if you make him feel that Ruby and Emerald card holders are inferior to him. You should
make him feel like a king!!!
Tip #4: Frugal Wow and a Delightful Surprise
Actually, there is not much cost involved in this; you just need to delight the customer. You don't need financial
wow, you need frequent Wow.
For Example:
If you are on a call with a customer for a very long time and you know it will further take long to wrap-up the call.
You know that the customer is hungry, so while on call, you order a pizza for him, and when pizza will come, tell
him the reason for your gesture. However, it just cost you rupees 200 but the customer will remember it forever.

6. Tip #5: Don't see your Product as a Product, see it as a Project
Don't sell your product as a product, sell it as project management. Remember there are three pillars of Project Management - Scope, Time
and Cost.
Scope includes deliverables, specifications, objectives, exclusion, constraints, and characteristics. Here, you need to see whether you can
under-commit or over-deliver your customers.
In case of Time, you need to see whether you can deliver your commitments before the given timeline.
You must know, India is a very cost sensitive or price sensitive market, so if you can give some discount or scheme to your customers they
will keep on coming to you.
Tip #6: Create a Purposeful Emotional Story
According to the Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), humans forget the data, facts, and figures but remembers a story.
Is there any powerful story in your sales pitch or can you create it?
For Example:
Our Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi often connects his audience with powerful, visionary and compelling stories, which has done wonders
for him.
A story helps your customer to connect with you and your product, which will help to increase sales.

7. Tip #7: Sell Experience over Money
You need to sell an experience to customers, not product. Experience creates brand recall value.
Below are some examples of popular Ad-Campaigns who are selling experience instead of product, which is helping them to gain recall
value.

Ad- Campaign
LIC
Zindagi ke saath bhi, Zindagi ke baad bhi
Asian Paint
Har ghar kuch kehta hai

There are many brands that do not sell the features of their product but sell the experience attached to them
