Once upon a time, we had a very interesting conversation with one of our clients who asked us to give him good reasons why he should buy an MgeM Vehicle Tracker instead of just identifying with the giant networks’ – (MTN Car Tracker also known as C Track).
You must think that will be a difficult question to answer… think again… because it is actually not!
More importantly, there is never too much to ask if you really want value for money. Now, back to the gist, so the way we objectively answered that question was by being genuine and frank about all details/information and to our very surprise this client was so impressed at our response and since then he has been consistently referring other clients to us for our services.
Morale of the story: If you offer quality goods and services, you don’t need to over-hype it. The unique features of your product, an effective communication and regular customer interaction will do most of the job. As a matter of fact, over-hyping could be a huge turn-off to many people out there.
Branding, however, is different from over hyping and that’s a very important thing to keep in mind…to sum it up, a great Product/Services, a resilient Team or organisation and best business practices is exactly all you need.
As a result, we at MgeM Services decided to address this topic by evaluating the features of our Vehicle Trackers (MgeM Tracker) and MTN Car Trackers.
