Actual for You - Empowering Customer Service Vital
Each business has its own unique needs and concerns when it shops for property to serve its business needs. Each business owner is concerned with whether to lease or buy, how much space is needed, what kind of property is needed, how much to pay for the purchase or lease, how to negotiate the best price, how to negotiate the best terms, and how to find the best location. The following six points need to be considered before leasing or buying business property:1. Lease or Buy: It is usually better in the long-run to own your business property. However, that may not be the case if you are short on ca
It seems that companies today would rather lose loyal customers for life than allow their foot soldiers in customer service to toss them an apple pie.

It is often said that the majority of people are but a few checks away from homelessness. Without a consistent income, this may be a true statement. Some ability to multi-task can get you through a temporary employment down-spell.While a formal plan is often best, the theory of continued employment is rapidly changing. Your union may not have the foothold it had in less prosperous times or out-sourcing may be the view of an employers accountant. Indeed, there can be numerous reasons why the stability factors of a steady job may change.The most dramatic one for the next generation will likely be lower pr
Powerless, these CSRs often actually ignore customers’ requests and declarations of their intent to leave, even encouraging them to seek out another company!
They often repeat the few phrases they’re allowed to say over and over again, further infuriating the customers.
I recently interviewed the CEO of a mattress company who told me that customer complaints never reach him because his employees are empowered to, within reason, give the customer what will keep him happy. His employees are happier too because they believe the company trusts them to make sound decision.
Sadly, that company is one-in-a-million today. If others would follow his example, there would a lot less need for those employees who call former customers because there would be far fewer former customers to begin with.
When I worked in fast food as a teenager, giving an unhappy customer a free apple turnover and having her leave happy was common place. Today, fast food employees, like others in customer service, are allowed to honor only coupons and deals for which there are pre-programmed keys on their registers.

So you graduated with a bachelor of science degree and you don’t want to become a doctor, dentist or work in a lab. You also don’t intend to pursue a graduate degree in science either as scientific research is not really your calling. So you might be thinking about what type of careers and jobs are open for university or college graduates with science degrees.I was in that same situation many years ago as I felt that I would prefer wearing a business suit rather than a lab coat for my working career. I wasn’t interested in Petri dishes, Bunsen burners, flasks or dissection tools anymore. I wanted to carry a

The average consumer is confronted with over 36,000 commercial messages per day. Decision makers face even more options. All available space is being bought up and sold as advertising space. Advertising exposure is increasing exponentially, and this naturally affects your cost of sales and therefore your margins. It now costs three times more to get just half the results you used to get. What to do?You have two choices. You can work harder, which is tactical, short-term and comprised of reactive, daily activities. Or you can work smarter, which is strategic, based on a long-range plan and objective. Your strate

Advertising agencies handle a variety of tasks for its clients, beginning with creating the right message to be carried in the media, selecting the right media, media planning and finally meeting the targets.Media advertising agencies have a whole gamut of people who perform these tasks. There are special departments to take care of each of the tasks. For example, there is a full-fledged client-servicing department, which acts as the one point contact between the client and the agency to make a study of the requirements. This team then passes on the requirements of the clients to the creative team, which designs

Recently, we had just such as experience with our satellite dish company. After more than four years as a loyal, paying customer, we noticed a problem with our reception. We asked to have someone come take a look at it, and we were told it would be $100. That is the only option customer service was empowered to offer. We announced that we could get brand new satellite equipment for free from the company’s competitor, and we were told to go ahead and switch, which we did.
After we switched, the first company called to ask why we left, and we told our story. The employee agreed that "after four years, we should have fixed it for free." Too late. We’ve signed a new one-year agreement and we couldn’t be happier with our new, free digital video recorder.
On the flip side, we have no unresolved customer complaints at our business because, very simply, we do our best to keep our customers happy from the beginning. Sure, we make mistakes and we run out of things, but we always do what it takes to make things right, plus a little extra something for the customer. That attitude builds long-time, successful customer relationships. Here are some tips for empowering your customer service department:
1.) Depending on the nature of the complaint, arm your customer service employees with the ability to offer incentives to unhappy customers to encourage them not to leave. Allow them to offer at least half what the peo
