Having customers with a bad experience can make you give excuses of less time, more customers and with the time constraints you cannot do anything beyond to charm or excite the customer, moreover testing customer’s patience with the long queue for billing and moving forward with the speed of a sloth just add to the customer’s anger. Slow billing is what customer despises most, your customer service may be on top but when it comes to billing you may lack by using your old school methods. There is a lot of customer handling features with the billing software and once you start using it, you are bound to know its capabilities.
Having reliable and fast billing software may help you in maintaining good customer relationship and their experience in many ways:
Fast invoicing with customers preferred way of communication:
Having billing software is always better than the old methods of billings where a customer had to wait in the long and tiresome queues for their turn for billing. Scanning the bar code of a number of items and automated calculation of total within seconds make things fast and save both parties time, it doesn’t matter if the customer is buying one item or heaps of item, time will never be an issue.
With the fast invoicing, you can satisfy your customer by letting him choose which way he wants to receive their receipt, whether they want to receive their bill on paper or via email or SMS. You can reduce the average billing time just by sending the invoice through email or SMS. There may be customers who buy things from you on credit and reminding them timely about their credit through SMS or email will only save time and effort. Handling the customer with leniency by allowing him to choose their own preferred ways can only leave you with a satisfied customer.
Increased Payment Flexibility:
Accuracy and speed can solve the problem but customers also expect flexibility in billing. Many payment methods should be available for the customer meeting their individual needs and thus the ability to make payment with their chosen payment method. Customers pay their bills faster if the payment process is simple and payment method is selected by them, thus they don’t feel that they are made to go out of their way to pay for the bill.
Even though you want to allow different payment methods but managing their different accounts is also what makes you think twice before making it into action, so using billing software not only allow the use of different payment method but also manages their different accounts making things easy for you and customers also.
Modern Billing system helps you to obtain a relaxed customer who is not bothered about to look into which payment mode he has to follow to pay the bill but knows his choice is all that matters at the billing counter. This flexibility may benefit customer but it is also beneficiary to the business.
Automate your customer communications:
Having a communication with your customer during the purchase process is important for a good relationship with the customer. Making your customer aware of the upcoming appointment or any event through email or SMS will only make them have a good impression of you. Even for the date to pay the due amount, customers admire a reminder of the approaching date. To know customers with due payment billing software is indeed helpful and time-saving.
Customers are more attracted when they know you have something good for them in store. You can always make a move to attract customers more often; your initiated communications with the customers at the right time can only make progress in your relationship with the customer. All you need to do is email or SMS them an attractive message with offer especially for them to make them know that they are valued by you and you don’t want to lose them at any point to time.
To set a good experience for the customer, introduce and make them aware of the loyalty points which they can use in the future to buy something. Capable billing software will help you to manage the loyalty point of each customer with ease, you just need to set loyalty point value and everything else is set.
Maintain customer’s profile
Maintaining customer’s detailed information is always good for your relationship with customers, as you can’t keep up with your customer’s relation and satisfaction if you don’t keep a proper record of your customer so it is always good to have customer’s information in your hand. But if you are still using a book or your old method to maintain your customer’s information then I just tell you it is always going to be hard to search a customer’s name through all of them.
Using billing software with customer handling feature will be of great use to handle each customer’s information separately and to search a particular customer’s information at much ease. Not only for managing customers information but billing software helps to send promotional SMS to customers making them visit your location and then you can make sure to gain their trust.
With billing software welcoming a new customer with a small gesture like an SMS to greet them will be easy and quick making them aware that you value your new customer and will try your best to satisfy them. This may look like a small thing but holds the foundation of your relationship with your customer.
