For big businesses, the role of customer service is pretty simple. A customer has an issue, so an agent steps in to help. It\u2019s pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n
But this reactive response to customer problems only works because these big business owners aren\u2019t engaging with their customers every day.<\/p>\n
When you run a small business, your customers are a part of your community. When you\u2019re not interacting with them as customers or clients, you\u2019re engaging as friends or neighbors. Maybe even family.<\/p>\n
As a small business owner, you\u2019re also probably more attuned to their needs. In many ways, this is great for business. You know your customer base better, you have opportunities to have one-on-one conversations with them, and you can use all that great info to provide them with a better experience.<\/p>\n

In fact, your customers might be expecting it.<\/p>\n So how can you get proactive and provide good customer service<\/a>?
