The Power of Rewards: Getting Dog Owners to Pick You as Their Trainer With Robert Ivancevich & Michelle Goldner
This FREE webinar is sponsored by Good Dogs of America and will focus on how the power of rewards and recognition can help build a strong loyal customer base. This base will then return for future training, recommend your services to others and stay with you for the long run. The key to creating a force of walking "advertisements" is to understand how to motivate your customers to reach their dog's full training potential. These "bragging rights" give owners a sense of pride and accomplishment and can ultimately help you reach future customers through word of mouth referrals.
Learning Objectives
- Motivation of customers to continue training
- Creating walking advertisements for your business
- Understanding the power of recognition in motivation
