Be On Time

Customers don't like to wait beyond the scheduled timeframe.  If you tell a customer you will deliver something to their home between a timefram - then make sure you can DO IT!  70% of adults surveyed by TOA Technologies regarding time spent waiting for in-home services and appointments said they would recommend a company simply because the representative was on time.  That dropped to 43% who would recommend a company if they have to wait an extra 15 minutes for someone to show up. 

Reason given for the huge drop in percentage for recommendations:  customers think compannies who aren't showing up on time is because they "don't care about my time."  Customer referrals are as good as it gets.  You are losing a huge opportunity for not showing up when promised.
