It's every business owner's job to make clients happy. But on top of this, he ought to gain their trust. Discussed here are the different strategies that you can build the confidence of your would-be, existing and past clients.

Inject professionalism into your web site. If you must, hire an experienced web developer to come up with a website that will contain everything that a customer may need to know, especially when it comes to product or service information as well as payment terms and conditions. It is also crucial that you provide various ways by which customers can get in touch with you. Ensure that there are dedicated personnel who will handle customer inquiries.

Don't hesitate to post on your website positive feedback received from satisfied clients. In making so, request them to answer an online survey form and encourage them to write about their actual experience with your company. It's always best to work on the negative feedback without delay and try to win back past clients. In the mean time, ask happy and pleased clients to write their testimonials which you can brag on your site.

If you have not gotten an SSL certification yet, make this a top priority. SSL, which actually translates to Secure Sockets Layer, is a protocol that's used to securely transmit data over the Internet. It assures that any information transmitted, including the customer's credit card numbers and other payment details, cannot be accessed by any other entity or third party.

Purchase only from legitimate sources. It must be noted that customers, especially first time buyers, appreciate if they be given as much information as possible about the safety of their transactions. Make certain to inform customers that your site is secure by posting the SSL certificate on your web site.

As a merchant, it's important that from the onset of an online transaction, customers are made aware of the mechanics and the terms and conditions of engaging in business with you. As part of delivering proficient client care, clearly state the company's guidelines regarding promos, promo duration, delivery, returns, exchanges and refunds.
