Listen to your customers.
What do I do to gain more views, more orders, and more consumers into my business? “I offered a 10 % discount over the final price and it didn't work”, “I sent new emails to my customers with updates about my product and no one replayed”, ``I launched the new menu for my cafeteria and still my numbers are low”... Does this sound familiar to you?
Well, everything can be solved with one simple and golden question: What the customer wants? Is one of the main treasures in regards to customer satisfaction and the delivery food business is not the exception? When you go back with your real customers and ask, hey I really want to know about your experience, please tell me how can I offer to you in order to have a better experience with us?
