How to Listen to Your Customers: How to Listen

HOW TO LISTEN

Saying that you want to listen to your customers is a nice first step, but not enough. All communications have two ends, sender and receiver. And unless the sender sends, it wouldn’t matter if the receiver had ears the size of Frisbees. Here’s what has to happen:

1. Listen to the right voice.

2. Be a trusted listener.

3. Ask the right questions.

4. Make the correct interpretation.

5. Take action.
