After we hung up, I thought to myself: they could have milked me for another couple hundred bucks (like many other mechanics would have). I wouldn't have knownrepparttar difference.

Just after lunch,repparttar 106820 phone rang again. "All done Mr. Chapuis,"repparttar 106821 rep said. I was expectingrepparttar 106822 car at 5:00. It was ready four hours early.

Afterrepparttar 106823 rental car agency drove me back torepparttar 106824 dealership, I noticed a conspicuously shiny vehicle backed into a parking space. It looked just like mine would if it were for sale onrepparttar 106825 lot. Upon further inspection, I saw thatrepparttar 106826 floors were clean, too - spotless almost. Couldn't be my car.

"I hope you don't mind we cleaned your car up a bit," I was told when paying inside.

"Huh?"

I looked behind me for cameras orrepparttar 106827 ghost of Alan Fundt. I walked outside, a bit stunned by what had transpired.

Before pulling away in my new-looking, smooth-driving car, I noticedrepparttar 106828 service light hadn't been turned off. I went back in just asrepparttar 106829 shop was closing. I found a man in a sharp suit who looked a sales manager, or atrepparttar 106830 very least, like someone who has never had to scrub grease off their hands. A few seconds later, he had popped openrepparttar 106831 hood, removed some covers, fidgeted with some buttons and wires, and then merrily sent me on my way.

I can hear you asking: "OK, Joe, what inrepparttar 106832 world does this story have to do with internet business?"

Everything. The internet is no different fromrepparttar 106833 "real world". Just faster.

Here are a few questions you need to be asking yourself about your business and online activities:

Is your organization trained to respond to inquiries in a timely and professional manner? Are you catering torepparttar 106834 customer's wants and needs? Are you showing an appreciation for your customer's business? Are you greeting and responding to people by name? Are you going out of your way to solve problems? Are your services saving customers time instead of wasting it? Are you offering solutions? Are you instilling a sense of trust? Are you delivering what you promise, on time? Are you delivering MORE than you promise? Do your customers leave feeling they received good value for their money? Are your customers consistently coming back for more? Are your customers so thrilled with your service that they're doingrepparttar 106835 best advertising for you, for free?

Bottom Line: If you're not answering "yes" to all of these questions, you're losing money.

I may or may not go back for something as simple as an oil change. But, where am I going to go for a brake job or tune-up? Better yet, where do you think I'm going to buy my next Ford, um... I mean, Volvo?

Wishing you much online success...
