One Size No Longer Fits All
June 23, 2005
To every bird, its own nest seems fair.
-French Proverb
In Trend Smart: The 21 Trends That Will Change the Way You Do Business (Naperville, IL: Sourcebooks, Inc., 2003), author Louis Patler examines trends that are impacting leaders, consumers, and employees.  For example, in looking at consumer trends he offers these tips:

* For successful customer service today, keep in mind that "one size fits one only":  the customer you are serving right now.  Mass customization means you need to treat each customer individually.

*  Turn your consumers into "prosumers," proactive buyers who have a choice of what product or service to buy, and they'll choose yours because you've given them the options and the features they truly want.

*  Get to know the specific needs of your customers -- and then develop products and services that meet those needs.

* Go above and beyond the call of duty.  If you've made a mistake and delivered poor customer service, apologize and make up for it.  Your customers will love you and will continue to be good customers.
