into that restaurant you recently tried, how did you know that it served great food?If you are like most
people on the planet, you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to
refer to a business they trust.Marketers call this friendtofriend recognition of a business "wordofmouth"
advertising.
When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job, people are going to talk about your
business.Unfortunately, because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively than positive
ones, we"re more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive
ones.Understand this:Customers believe their own experience.You can"t make them believe that your
company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.
So, to get positive wordofmouth going for your business in this servicebased economy, you"ve got to
do a really outstanding job for everyone, exactly.
And when you do, you build a great reputation.That takes time.But it forms a close link with your
customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon (优惠券) ever could.
The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers"
money, people want to know whom they can trust.So people are going to be talking about you.Create a
free sales force for your business-an army of delightedcustomers who tell everyone that they know how
good your company is to do business with.That"s a great antidote (解毒剂) to defectionitis.

traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam"s story is a tale of two cities - one during the day and a completely different one at night.
When the sun is up, this largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River. You can rent a
bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi. But when the sun goes down,
the partying begins. In the big clubs and in the coffee shops, tourists gather to talk politics and smoke.
Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And they"re all within a
short cab ride of each other. For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open
markets, concerts and other events. Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there. And
there"s the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall. But at night party-seekers come to the
square. Hip hop or funk music (疯狂音乐) is heard there. So if you come, be ready to dance. The clubs
don"t shut down until 4 am.
And while you"re there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city. Don"t worry about
getting lost. Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are
happy to help you with directions. And you"ll notice that half the people walking around in the streets are
on bicycles they rent. Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system. For about 10 dollars, you can
use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise (巡游) the "Venice of the North".
The city has a historic past. One impressive (印象深刻的) place to visit is the Anne Frank House
on Nine Street. It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II.
Visitors can view Anne"s original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her
family hid from the Nazis for two years.
