The y should meet at least once a week to work on ways to delight their customers. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine spend- ing one hour a week focused on your cus- tomers and how you can make them love you? It's so simple, yet so rare. I don't know of a single company in our industry that is doing this today. So, you can be the first. Give it a try and you'll quickly be the most outstanding company in a virtual wasteland of customer delight. And yes, there is one more—always under-prom- ise and over-deliver. 5. Call your customers. is is espe- cially important if you run the company. ey will take your call—you are the pres- ident, aer all—and they will be anxious to talk to you. You will not only gain great insight into your customer and his needs, but you will impress him with your dedi- cation to making sure he is delighted. e very action of picking up the phone and calling your customer will go a very long way toward letting that customer know how much you care. And once again, almost no one in our industry is doing this; you will be outstanding in the truest sense of the word. Please give these ideas a try. is coun- try is losing so many PCB companies that it is time we really stepped up to make sure our customers never even consider taking their business elsewhere.
