Chapter 7: Focus on the Customer
Bankers know that for your business to succeed, it must be customer focused. The customer or client is the whole reason you are in business. It is the foundation of strategy to determine how to meet the customers’ need or solve their problem, then organize your company in such a way to do so in the most effective and efficient manner. How are you going to meet your customers’ needs? Is your business organized to meet those needs effectively and efficiently? Is your management team focused on meeting customer needs? What about your employees?
Are you able to explain to your banker how you are meeting your customers’ need? What pain or problem are you solving for your customer? Strategy is an intentional focus and alignment of resources that deliver maximum results for the customer. Before your company can organize to meet a customer’s need or eliminate a pain or problem, you need to fully understand what that pain or problem is.
Your bankers are well versed in business. They will be able to recognize what you are attempting to accomplish in this area. Explaining all of this to your banker helps them to understand how you are focused on the customer. Your job as a business owner is to understand the customer in such a way that you can exceed their expectations in solving their problem or achieving their goals. Be able to explain to your banker who your customers are, what product or service you are providing to meet or exceed their needs, and where they are located geographically. How is your company organized to meet those needs and provide superior performance? Presenting this information will help inspire your banker’s confidence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
