GRID CHAAND RAAT EVENT

COSY COFFEE MORNING

 10am – 12pm, Friday 18^th September 2009                   

GRID @ Park Lane

Come & join us at Park Lane for a Cosy Coffee Morning…

This is an informal opportunity to network with other businesses over a cuppa (or two) and learn about a number of opportunities currently available to you & your business.

This week we will be discussing everyone’s favourite thing - & everyone’s worst nightmare…

CUSTOMERS!

Love them or loathe them – they are the life blood of every business & so we thought it would be good to spend a little time focusing on what makes for “Happy Customers” and what we do as the face of the business when things go wrong!

Whether you have a team of people working for you or whether the buck stops with you, we will help you identify quick ways that you can enhance that customer experience and keep them coming back time & time again…

If you can harness the power of your customers and can embrace their feedback with an open mind – you can unlock the true potential of this “secret sales force”.

If you can achieve this, then no amount of advertising will equal the benefits that their word of mouth referrals will bring your business – however, if you do not make time to get this right, then no amount of marketing will repair the damage!

So come along and share ideas, best practise and overcome issues together – taking away a toolkit of tips for delivering Excellent Customer Service every time!

As ever, we are keen to meet anyone who you feel could benefit from attending our events or accessing some of the GRID services – so we are encouraging you to bring a friend along for “FREE”. If you think about it, we all know someone who could do with a little help from their friends, in developing their business…

Don’t delay – ring now to book your place. Tel: 01274 729270 and speak to Safraz or Charlotte or email south@bradfordgrid.com
