MarketView Report
Good news from the latest quarterly MarketView report showing a 6.7% increase in retail sales from last year, with increases each month in 2012. There is also a significant increase in customers from Te Atatu South, Henderson and Auckland Central. Not sure why those additional customers are coming, but if you have any ideas on that please comment. Our retail is looking up which is most encouraging, along with a high volume of Real Estate sales at very good prices over recent months.

What is a Customer?
- A customer is the most important person ever to enter this shop or office, in person or by phone or mail.- A customer is not dependent on us; we are dependent on them.
- A customer is not an interruption to us; they are the purpose of our work.
- We are not doing the customer a favour by serving them - they are doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to serve them.
- A customer is not someone to argue or match wits with. Nobody ever won an argument with a customer.
- A customer is a person who brings their wants to us; and it is our job to handle them profitably, to them and ourselves.
- A customer is an endangered species, of unknown habitat. Look after them, or you may not have many more.
