Cultivating your customer base - Philip Redding, Endor

Whilst markets can head North or South, Phil advocates that customer relationships must maintain a steady course irrespective of climate, and has as much concern over likely customer service trends in 2010 as were apparent in 2009. If you have developed a habit of “checking out” products before you buy them or restaurants before you eat there, you will understand that candidates and clients will be “checking out” recruiters and when bad news spreads a trillion times faster than good – Customers must become ‘Raving Fans’ if reputation is to be built.

About Philip Redding & Endor

With almost 20 years in the recruitment industry, Phil Redding has experienced growth and reduction markets across multiple sectors in multiple countries. With a belief that the 2010 economic changes are more than “post-GFC”, Phil believes that the growth of Social Media whilst the market has been sleeping has resulted in reputation becoming one of the most important aspects of a recruiters portfolio, and an issue that could End...Or kick start a recruiters track record.

With a background covering both General Management of public listed recruitment companies and niche boutique suppliers, Phil takes a pragmatic view of the dangers of ignoring the change.

With tongue in cheek pessimism and a calming peek into the future, Phil raises questions and issues to challenge traditional thinking.
