When you get right down to it, customer service is about TRUST.
= Strong Business Growth! Customers do business with you because they trust that you will treat them fairly, with courtesy, and that you will do every thing possible to resolve any situation with honor and integrity. Every employee must be committed to protect and preserve the client's trust.
As the old saying goes (and still rings true), "Trust is sacred." Customer trust should always be top of mind. Does every one of your employees instinctively respond to each customer service inquiry with this ultimate service phrase: If your customers aren't hearing this message "LOUDLY and PROUDLY" during every customer service encounter, then you can benefit greatly by reviewing our customer service tools. So let’s get to work! Consider the following quote: - Albert Schweitzer Think about your best service employee. Isn’t she also in your opinion about the happiest person on the planet? Basically, people who excel at servicing others "like" people and find joy in helping them. They aren’t the sort of folks that walk around with a snarl on their face or a chip on their shoulder. They are just really pleasant individuals. Good service employees are essential to any business. They promote teamwork and are consistent in their service delivery and overall ATTITUDE. Customer's call in or send notes of appreciation to you on behalf of these employees. Does this all ring true in your organization? Hire as many of these people as possible! Good service employees are literally worth their weight in GOLD! Speaking of ATTITUDE, recently one of our team members shared a story from his teen years about having attended a week-long basketball camp. While at camp, attendees were repeatedly confronted by members of the coaching staff with the following "very loud" question. "How's your PMA?" (aka.. Positive Mental Attitude) The ONLY acceptable response was a LOUD and PROUD - "BOY, AM I ENTHUSIASTIC! Our friend added that to this very day whenever he is asked how his day is, or how he's doing, he instinctively recalls the PROPER response and it lifts his spirits and makes him smile. What a gift! As a leader, you have certain expectations of your customer service personnel. You DO, don’t you? Let the notion of a positive customer service attitude be one of those expectations: - Benjamin Disraeli No one will argue that customer satisfaction and retention is strongly hinged on a consistently positive customer service experience. Hint: INCREASED PROFITABILITY DOESN'T HURT EITHER. :-) Customer service tools are extremely beneficial to your organization.
