Tip 39: Teach your customers something new

There is always something new to learn. Always. And sometimes when topics are just extra complex, I greatly appreciate it when companies educate me by breaking them down in easy to understand terms and giving specifics on just what I need to know.

I do a lot of cooking these days in my quest to eat clean. So I’m always super excited when I come across a new recipe that teaches me how to make delicioso meals in new and interesting ways. The new recipes enable me to shake things up in my meal rotation, and discover new favorites to please my palate.

 Suggestions

Shake things up a bit in your regular educational efforts by teaching your customers something off the beaten path that can also help them reach their goals. Education on familiar topics to ensure your customers have a solid understanding of what they need to know to be successful is important. Just know it is ok (and encouraged) to deviate from your set curriculum from time to time.
The key to introducing a new concept is to break it down as simple as possible. This may require you to break up whatever you’re teaching up into digestible chunks so you can devote the appropriate amount of energy to a specific concept.
