With busy calendars, scheduled calls, appointments and meetings, it’s easy to stray away from your brand’s customer service.
It’s all too common for companies to take a hit because they overlook one of the most crucial aspects of their business: serving people.
Give To People …
- in the way you make them feel.
- in the experience you provide.
- in the form of quick and easy responses.
- by complimenting and appreciating them.
- by letting them know that you care to help.
- by making them feel special.
- by overdelivering.
This is what a great long-lasting customer service experience is about. You don’t have to give your products away. What you have to give of is yourself.
Customer service is an experience not a product or service.
If your company is not growing at the rate you would like it to, grade yourself on how well your customer service stands.
Truly grade yourself on how much effort you have put into equipping your leaders to create a great customer service experience for others.
If you choose not to grade yourself, here are the facts.
