To ensure success, companies must create an environment where customers feel valued and appreciated through excellent customer service, high-quality products and services, or attractive promotions. Entrepreneurs often make the mistake of prejudging their customers' needs based on appearance or age. This can lead to misunderstandings and missed opportunities. The best way to identify customer needs is to ask them directly and avoid assumptions. Customer physical appearance should not be taken as a reliable indicator when making decisions about what they need from your business. 2022-12-2718 min
