corporate reputationConsider the client type using chauffeur services.

Imagine the damage to corporate reputation if a high-profile client trashed the business. Revenue would drop and recovery would become almost impossible.

Want to avoid these mishaps?

Read on to understand the how and why of your business reputation.

Why Corporate Reputation Matters in the Chauffeur Industry

There are over 188k+ employees in the “taxi and chauffeur” industry. That’s not counting the millions working ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft.

The point: People have options.

One bad experience for a five-star client will have them hailing another service. The loss of this big-ticket client sends shockwaves throughout the industry. It reduces the brand value which impacts pricing and employee recruitment.

Public relations take a hit, too.

An unpleasant experience adds to the $62 billion bad customer service problem. The experience travels at twice the rate due in part to social media.

It’s not all negative, though.

Stellar experience and corporate reputation bring:

  1. Increased employee satisfaction
  2. Improved perceived value of the service
  3. Accepted messages with new offerings

You may wonder how to improve the business standing. Pondering how to differentiate the business among the growing, competitive industry.

Watch
