Actual for You - 10 Great Customer Service Habits To Develop
Recently, I celebrated my birthday and opened the annual birthday card from my Allstate insurance agent, the only time that I hear from her all year long since I'm set up on automatic bill pay. The greeting was generic and the only bit of personalization was the agent's signature.In contrast, I received a birthday card in the mail from Mark Herdering who works with a cool Internet service called Send Out Cards. With this servic
9. Give the customer your name and number
Give the customer your name and business number. Hand them a business card and if you do not have your own write your name and number on a piece of paper or someone else's card. This makes them feel as if they have a contact person just incase they have any questions. It, also, makes them feel more secure.
10. Smile and use inflection on the phone
Smiling makes a world of difference even on the phone. Pay attention to what you do when
Are you sitting at your desk dreamily imagining yourself on a South Seas vacation? Or maybe a rollicking holiday with the family? Or maybe you’d prefer to stay home and watch some DVDs.Wanting to take some time off shouldn’t make you feel guilty. In fact, in her new book, “Time Off for Good Behavior,” Mary Lou Quinlan writes that seven out of 10 people fantasize about leaving work for a few months.What’s more, she rep
Always be on time to work. Also, when you promise you are going to call at a certain time, make sure you call!
2. Follow up on your promises
Do not, and I repeat do not make any promises that you cannot keep. If you make a promise you need to stick with it. Follow up on it and keep the customer informed each step of the way.
3. Under Promise/Over Deliver
Here is an example. When I order clothing from a certain company they always give me an estimated arrival time as 10 business days to get to me. I usually receive it in 5 days and I'm thrilled because I received it earlier. If they tell me 10 days and it takes 10 days I'm still happy but definitely happier if it's waiting at my door in 5 days. What if it takes 15? I am not a happy customer. Maybe I needed it for an occasion and now I have nothing to wear. Under promise/over deliver!
4. Go the extra mile
If you have to do a little extra...DO IT!!! If a customer needs for you to check on something for them, and it's normally not your job, do it anyway (if you can). The customer will remember you, the business and will in turn tell others and they will certainly be a return customer.
5. Offer your Customer Options
If you have to say no, give them an option. If you just say NO, this is not satisfying to the customer, however if you give them an option, they are happy. For example... "We no longer carry that name brand of multi-vitamin with minerals but we do carry a new name that has all the same benefits and maybe even more". "Would you like to see it"?
6. Express Empathy
Always express empathy. There is a difference between empathy and sympathy. Sympathy is siding with the customer against the company or your co-worker. Empathy is feeling for the customer, listening, and understanding.
7. Treat your Customers as the most important part of your job
Your customers are the most important part of your job; they are your job. Without them you wouldn't be working. Treat them with respect and courtesy.
8. Treat your Co-Workers as customers
If you follow all the same steps with your co-workers, and treat them the same way as you do your customers it will be a great environment. They deserve the same respect and courtesy. You are a team. Establish the proper rapport. If you are happy with each other in turn your customers will be happier.
