If you have employees, it is also critical that they understand the importance of making each customer feel like a million dollar customer. It's all about the experience you provide – the feeling your customer has when doing business with you.
Get to know your customers. Find out what they're looking for and why by asking questions, then really listen to what they say. Make it a point to truly understand what it is they want to create or solve, then if you can provide a solution, offer it to them.
Building a successful, profitable business is dependent on establishing long-term, loyal customers. Having to pursue new customers to replace those who are not returning can become tiring and expensive.

Treat every customer like a million dollar customer because when you build a long-term relationship with them, they just might very well become one.
