Among the top trending topics for small business owners in the US is the customer experience (CE). Naturally, there are many other things that portable restroom rental operators need to focus on this year. But, it’s important to be very clear that the <\/span><\/span><\/span>customer experience<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span> is the highest priority, with no close second. The futility of doing everything else ideally to run a business <\/span><\/span><\/span>without<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span> being a CE-centric service company cannot be over-emphasized. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why is Customer Experience So Important?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

No matter how sleek and immaculate your rental equipment is, how streamlined your management systems, how strict your cleaning and inspection processes, or how efficient your order fulfillment protocols, unless these business aspects complement a service modality that elevates the customer experience, it’s all rendered meaningless to sustaining your success. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a helpful quick self-test to get a sense of your current CE outcomes: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Do a high percentage of your rental sales prospects turn away after introduction to your site, or your staff, or you, apparently uninspired, and move on to your competitors instead of choosing to do business with you? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Do your current and former customers appear not really to care much whether they ever do business with you again or not? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Do you suspect that that is happening because, though your team works hard to do a good job, nothing really stands out in a positive way for your customers about their experience with your organization? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If one or more of the above is the case, why shouldn’t people prefer to try someone else if they feel that they’re as likely to receive an equal or better experience than they’ve had with your company? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Where does the customer experience begin? From the moment the prospective customer enters his or her search criteria in the Google field! By the time the prospect dials your phone number, you are already well into the process of creating a winning customer experience, though you haven’t been aware of it — unless you’re hawkeying your ongoing results with your web analytics tools. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    To back up a little, what happened on that initial visit to your site by the new prospect? Quick bounce? That’s the <\/span><\/span><\/span>worst<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span> outcome, obviously. Or, was it a click-through to multiple internal pages? That’s <\/span><\/span><\/span>much<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span> better. Or, was it the <\/span><\/span><\/span>best<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span> possible result — a first-visit conversion right there in your online store? Or, nearly as good, was it a call directly from the site to your business phone to schedule service, pay a deposit, or otherwise officially enter your sales pipeline?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    How Can You Boost Your Customer Experience?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Below are some key ways to improve the customer experience for portable restroom rental businesses. These can help you increase the number of online reviews and paper reviews that you can paste into the testimonials section of your site, which you can then parlay into foundational marketing and sales tools.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    1. It all starts on your website.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    If you’re having little success getting beyond the initial visit with a prospect who enters your online place of business, you need to correct that problem first.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
