"Within the first 100 days of a transaction customers are making their opinions of you and of your business."

As customers we don’t like uncertainty, it leads to feelings of buyer’s remorse. As a business executive you are subjecting customers to this interaction as soon as they decide to do business with you. Within the first 100 days of a transaction customers are making their opinions of you and of your business whether you are aware of it or not. The key is to not let these individuals stray off their initial feelings of acceptance and pleasure in their decision to invest. This strategy in turn will help to convert initial customers into brand enthusiasts.

Joey’s solution to the problem of retaining customers is to challenge and change the psychology of buyer’s remorse in the beginning moments of a business relationship. He believes that if you can get the first 100 days right with a customer you have them for life. His leading point is by making a personal connection with a client or customer within the first 100 days this will keep them around for a lifetime. These personal connections could be as simple as a personalized note or a small gift – he is sure to provide his audiences with tons of examples. Not only will these relationship skills be financially beneficial for your company, but it will also help to acquire brand advocates for your business. Joey’s research concludes that if you can decrease defection rates in your business by 5% you can increase profits by 25-100%.
