THE MATH OF SUCCESS
There is a group of golfers who mean more to your daily business than all the rest. No doubt you have heard of the 80/20 rule, where 80% of sales are driven by 20% of customers. It is happening at your club today, without you understanding its power. This post is about identifying these golfers at your club, and then suggesting you know them, and build a specific system of value, on purpose this season. In spite of the new world of smaller teams and budgets, creating a new service standard for these golfers and their families might be the best thing you do to build the business in 2014……..and beyond.
Identifying the top customers in any business is easier today, but learning their specific detail takes time and effort. Is it worth it? You bet! If a club has approximately 600-800 top customers who produce .75 to .80 cents out of every dollar of sales spent, you have to know it is worth it. On many days, these golfers probably are your business. Now that spring is here, it is time to begin the process of learning who these golfers are, without guessing. After you and your team have identified each one, create a questionaire which will help you drill down with the questions about your golfers, their families, their hopes, golfing aspirations, wants, and dreams.
This post is an urgent request to get specific with your service strategy this season. With limited resources, manpower, and inability to schedule enough help on many a day, having a system in place to serve your top 20% will absolutely pay big dividends this year. Here are 5 thoughts on how to create a different experience for your best:
