Most people agree that great customer service, coupled with a smooth simply understood sales process, makes for a good customer experience. If that sales process is as flexible as the buyers journey dictates, such that it allows each customer to do business with you at their own pace, and at the time of their choosing, they will regard it as being smooth and easy. If the delivery and after sale support demonstrates great customer service, you are building in a Wow factor!
Consider who it is that your business offering(s) serve(s). Is it right for everyone? For most businesses the answer is a resounding No. The smaller the proportion of the population that you serve, or the tighter your niche if you prefer, the more you need to make it difficult to do business with you, put obstacles in the way. This means your marketing must repel those potential prospects who are not a good fit for you.
My opening questions may have seemed to be self-contradictory, but I believe that a good balanced business model does make it both easy and difficult to do business with you.
