Customer Care
An advantage of being a local SME is that we can give outstanding customer service and care for each of our customers. As a small business the senior managers may be directly involved with each individual transaction, meaning the customer is dealing with a senior member of the company as compared to the layers of operation in larger businesses. Small businesses recognise that customers are most important and treat them as such. Customer reassurance and response should always be the main criteria to build a good working relationship
