t can be far harder to engage the customer in the bustle of the city where everyone wants to buy something as quickly as possible and move on – strike up a conversation to a customer in the city and chances are you’ll be met with a scowl. To them, they’ll come back again and again if your service is the quickest least hassle.

Contrast this to the country… Life is less stressed, and people have more time. Say hello to a stranger in the country and they say hello back. Buying milk from the local shop in the country it is perfectly natural to have a 10 minute conversation and you are unlikely to get an annoyed customer waiting in the queue behind (in fact they tend to join in!). If you ran a quick service where you didn’t take the time to get to know customers in the country, you might find people drive a distance to do business with someone else.

So what am I saying.. I’m saying that different online businesses should tackle things differently. Some are in the ‘country camp’ and your customers will welcome your interaction with them. Others are in the ‘city camp’ where too much interaction might lead to a negative response!!

It is amazing what a company can accomplish when they take the time to step back and communicate with their clients.

I think I have it going at Anderson Free Press

http://www.AndersonFreePress.net

A grassroots journalism effort with a very strong and vibrant community.

That said, you can’t please all the people all the time, but I try to interact with my news community moreso than maybe any other publisher out there.

Good post.

I agree, this probably wouldn’t work in NYC. Many people go out of their way to avoid being social. It’s true. Get over it.

That said, I’d pay an extra cent to get full-service at a self-serve station from a well-mannered attendant.

In most bigger cities, I’d say the same holds true. Give a bit more than expected and ditch the small talk. If I want to chat, I’ll initiate as long as you seem approachable.

Great article, John. It really did get me to thinking how I can apply this (with tweaks, of course) to other business models.

Yes, I agree with David. You seem to see more of this in cities. I moved to an urban area of Louisville a couple years ago from a rural college town and see the same patterns plus genuinely friendly people.

Some of the small town friendliness is a facade especially when it comes to smiles and small talk.

Great customer service has an intrinsic value that’s challenging to measure. Ultimately our clients/customers want us to be upbeat, listening, smiling (even over the phone) and real, like Billy!
