For instance, I paint outdoor signs and create various types of indoor / outdoor promotionals for people in our small town. I've been at this business now for over 20 years. I rarely advertise, yet I enjoy about 80 percent of our town's sign and display business. How do I do it? I have several business success secrets that helped me get to where I am today, and all of them relate to good customer service. These customer service secrets can equally apply to service contractors doing business with other businesses, as in my case, or to retailers doing business with the general consumer.
