Comments on: What’s The One Question Your Customers Are Asking? http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/whats-the-one-question-your-customers-are-asking/ Be a Chief Extraordinary Officer in Business & in Life Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:12:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Risa http://www.sparkplugging.com/sparkplug-ceo/whats-the-one-question-your-customers-are-asking/comment-page-1/#comment-152095 Risa Fri, 18 Jan 2008 05:50:07 +0000 http://www.emomsathome.com/blog/2008/01/16/whats-the-one-question-your-customers-are-asking/#comment-152095 Hi, Finally, after reading you guys for months I feel compelled to write. I always write a note on my invoices to my customers, and follow up with an email to see if they liked their purchase and to let me know. I got an email back from a customer today that was really nice. I wrote back and told her that she made my day. I got an email back from her that broke my heart. She wrote that it made her feel good that she made me feel good because there's so much sadness in her life. She went on to tell me an incredible tragedy that happened to her 7 years ago (she wrote that she had no idea why she was telling me this). Her 18 year old daughter was killed by a thug and her husband died from cancer 5 weeks later. I was so touched by this letter, I've been thinking seriously of mailing her one of my crystal hamsa necklaces. (A hamsa is a Middle Eastern symbol of a hand. It is a good luck amulet which can mean the hand of God, and is thought to bring luck and peace to the wearer.) After reading this piece, I decided that this is what I am going to do in the morning. This blog post was an affirmation of what I should do because I want to and because it feels right and good. Keep up the great blogging!

For instance, you need clarity in what you do to make it easy for prospects to know that you can help them.

I just wrote a post on "what's in it for me." A lot of business owners overlook that and instead they push what they think customers want and lose the sale. Here's my post: http://www.eggmarketingblog.com/2008/01/07/press-release-101-24-reasons-to-toot-your-own-horn-2-2-6/ Ha.

I started my first blog as a way to gather information for myself on different artist's issues and share it with whoever wanted to read. Now I get really interesting comments and emails from people all over the place. My blog has taken the very "long tail" approach, which surprised me a little. I didn't originally plan on this blog becoming anything, but it's become much more than I expected it to. It’s true.

Seeing our work from the consumers perspective changes everything. Another great question to ask is: what would I appreciate. Giving and giving freely as you would like to receive is absolutely the key. Spot on! Dawud, WOW-this is a great post. Seeing our work from the consumers perspective changes everything.
