Tips for Powerful Customer Service - Part One

Tips for Powerful Customer Service - Part One

# Understand that, at every moment, the following equation applies - “service = your product plus you”. A great product can be improved with great service - or a sale of it lost by inefficient or uncaring behaviours

# The simplest way to judge an unhappy or dissatisfied Customer is very simple:if they frown - or if you frown at them. either way, you're losing the battle

# Know that it’s only outstanding service that makes a difference. Simply doing what you’re meant to is already expected by your Customers. If you only just meet a Customer’s needs, then you’re not offering them very much. Businesses and organisations don't profit by being "okay"

# Take a genuine interest in your Customers as human beings. You sympathize with their problems, listen to their stories, give them your time. In this way, they understand the value you are offering them - apart from simply accepting their cash

# Your aim is to have service so outstanding that your Customers become advocates for your business. They don't just let others know they use you; they suggest to these others that they do the same. and then these people can continue the "word-of-mouth" process!

# Everyone in any organisation must truly understand that a Customer’s perception of reality - whether right or wrong - is real to them. So work to their perception, not from your own. You'll never win a happy Customer by proving them to be wrong!

# Develop a “Yes we can. Now, what can we do for you” attitude. If you do, your first effort is always going to be a positive one

# Equally, aim for a “never say no” culture. People hate being told what they can’t do, can’t have. Instead, offer them positive options and alternatives
