Great article in Forbes: Stop ‘Listening’ And Start Anticipating Your Customers’ Needs.

I certainly know that I as a customer or a client share the author’s perspective on the value of that anticipation. They say the best way to get a promotion is to already be doing the job you want to officially have – there is an analogy for client service here as well, where providing the service or answering the question before it’s asked is the equivalent, and doesn’t provide a space for a client to say that there needs aren’t being met (even if only briefly).
