Be interested:

One of the aspects of creating customer advocacy is to connect with your customers. There are many things that need to happen 1) get noticed (Purple Cow); 2) if you are noticed you will get remembered; 3) if you are remembered you will get customer visit (business); 4) get repeat visits and the way to do that is to be interested in your customers, not by being interesting. Jim Collins advanced this concept in “Good to Great”.

The paradox is that to get noticed you have to be interesting, however to succeed you need to be interested in your guests.
