The Value of ALWAYS Being There
Well, winter is definitely upon us. ‘Bomb Cyclone’ winter storm, Snownado, Blizzardcane, Snowpocalypse, Snowmageddon or even Thundersnow – bring it on! Here at Towne we kinda like our version of that old saying associated with the post office … “neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night” will keep us from delivering customer care 24/7/365 on behalf of our clients.
The examples we mentioned in the previous post show how we never, never, never close regardless of weather. For many of our clients, this means that because we stay open, they don’t have to until it’s safe to do so again.
But for other clients, wintry conditions actually increase demand for their services. It’s crucial that they have a plan in place for how to a) communicate with their customers even if their phones are down or ringing off the hook, and b) respond to the calls for help. These are some specific industries we’ve worked with that need extra planning for wintry disruptions:
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC and fuel technicians will be called to respond to—
freezing and possibly bursting pipes, resulting in no water
frozen pipes that cause fuel to freeze
heaters that break down from working overtime
Property management companies will be expected to—
dispatch technicians to respond to the issues listed above
keep streets, sidewalks, and parking lots clear of snow and ice
Healthcare professionals will need to be on call for—
injuries from falls on slippery surfaces
emergency response for car accident injuries
continued response to the demands of flu season, regardless of if the office is closed due to inclement weather
At Towne, We Are Your Link To Your Customers
Through the worst storms and disasters, we’ve kept clients in each of these industries in communication with their customers – without interruption. And their customers were grateful that the clients had plans in place to keep communication lines open. If they hadn’t, their customers would have been left to scramble through the phone book to find another provider. The result would have been lost revenue, and lost customer loyalty.
The most important thing for keeping communications running smoothly is to have a plan in place before the storm strikes. If you’d like to know how the professionals at Towne will keep the lines of communication with your customers open no matter the circumstances, call us at 800-660-4316 for a free consultation.
