Within the world of Internet marketing, many people sometimes assume that the customer is always right. The reason why this assumption exists is because many are trying to do the right thing by providing their customers with a greater degree of service and attention. However, this mindset of the customer always being right can be very counterproductive sometimes. Let's talk about why, and how you can strike the proper balance between providing excellent customer service and not allowing yourself to be led astray trying to satisfy people who may not really be worth the effort.
Not long ago, an experiment was done whereby a company provided superb documentation to help virtually anybody figure out how to solve common problems that sometimes arise as a result of using the company's product. Despite the fact that this guidance was conspicuously displayed on the company website, many customers would contact the company and insist that the product did not come with adequate levels of support. Can you imagine that? If the company adopted the position that the customer is always right, the company would essentially have to go out of business immediately. Why? Because a company that does not provide adequate support for its products is highly unethical enterprise and is doing its customers a terrible disservice.
The simple fact of the matter is that sadly, the customer is not always right. The customer is sometimes very stupid, illiterate, distracted, confused, agitated, hypersensitive, mentally unbalanced, or simply trying to be a pain. Does this mean the customer is always wrong? No! What this does mean is that you cannot adopt an absolute view that the customer is always right. Doing so can truly harm your Internet marketing business.
