Customer-centric thinking is vital to service related small businesses. Too many service related businesses have gotten so wrapped up in process, cost-cutting, and gimmicky advertising that they've forgotten that without customers, there is no business. Even those who remember the customer don't always know what customers want and how to provide it.

Customer-centric thinking means focusing on the customer in every aspect of your business, not just those we traditionally associate with customer service.
Know the four basic consumer needs. Get inside the minds of your suspects, prospects and clients to see how they make decisions, how they learn, and how meeting their greatest unfilled emotional need can help you succeed.
