As a business owner, it is easy to figure out what you need to do during a transaction, but once the transaction is finished it can be a little more difficult to know what to do. However, if you want your business to be truly successful, you need to have a plan of action for what to do when you finish delivering a service to your client. Taking action after the service will help you to keep in contact and ensure that you are taking care of the details after the fact.

Follow Up for Feedback

It’s important that you stay in contact with clients even after you have completed a service. Following up with them gives you a great opportunity to solicit feedback and learn more about their experience. The more you know about how they felt about their service, the better it will be for your business and for your relationship with the customer. Make sure to implement useful feedback and to respond in an open way to any feedback yoru client may offer. Doing so will help you to keep positive customer relationships.

Collect Payment

You also want to make sure that you are actually paid for the work that you did. Collecting the payment as early as you can will help to decrease the likelihood of a missed payment. Revenue cycle management helps reduce errors and speed up the collections process. You can collect payment in many different ways that can be convenient for you and your client. Sometimes it is best to collect payment at your business, while other situations may make it easier for your client to pay online after their services have been completed.

Reward Customers

Having a rewards program for your customers can be a good way to keep in contact and develop a strong relationship that can last for a long time. The best rewards are those that bring them back to your business to spend points or receive discounts. You can also implement a referral program to help bring in additional customers while rewarding your existing customer base.

Your work doesn’t end when a service is complete, instead, it simply changes a bit. It’s important to take care of the tasks you have after finishing a service so your business can continue to flourish. Take the time and effort to develop strong customer relations that are beneficial to everyone.
