Welcoming the outstanding customer service

Posted by francesxcanora in November 19, 2009

As many of you know, I made my mission to change the view of the world of customer service. Even today, many have just accepted the fact that no matter where they go, they will receive fewer customer service acceptable. This is unacceptable!

When we work a lot for the money we have, why spend a commercial establishment (regardless of the type of activity), which provides less customer service superior? It has real meaning to hand over your moneythat? It is not yet clear … Okay, let me show you this any other way. They go into a restaurant and ask for a steak. The waitress brings a piece of chicken. We shrug and say, "Okay, okay." In addition, we eat chicken and still leave a tip to the waitress … would really accept that? No, certainly not! But it's the kind of customer service is unacceptable that we receive in other workplaces and simply shook his head and said, okay!PEOPLE STOP THE MADNESS!

For all that the customers there (which means everyone), it is time to retrieve your God given right to receive outstanding customer service. It's called Free Will people, and I intend to use my will to change the world view on customer service. One of the ways I intend to do this is by refusing to do business on the web that I receive customer support. Are you ready to help in this mission? All you have to do is: stop doing business in placeswho do not appreciate your business. And let them know that you will not do business there and why. Sometimes, owners or managers of businesses do not know that there is a problem until you let know, so be sure to tell them. Once you begin to change our perspective on what we accept as customer service, companies have to begin to like best. Logical, right?

As with all employees and employers out there, there are certain steps you can take tothat customers receive the best customer service around. And when you start to provide this type of customer service, customers keep coming back for more. In fact, if you give them the best service you can go anywhere and with a little charm, "which will return more often because they do not get enough.

So what are the steps? Follow these steps to ensure some of your customers come back for more of: (I broke it into two phases. Onefor employers and employees to please read both!)

Employers

Provide employee training on how to treat your customers. If you're not sure how this should be done, please visit my blog at what-service.blogspot.com customer e-mail and I'll create a training class for you. Think this way … Do your customers expect to get your business. This is obviously different for each company and depends on the type of activityhave. But put yourself in the shoes of the customer … If you were the customer, what do you expect to see in terms of customer service? Once you have clearly defined, you can then train workers on how to provide it.
Establish high standards for your employees and ensure they stick. But do not just use it as a tool to "write" or "fire" employees. Let me be clear … If you have an employee that you must then fire by all means do so. But do nottype of management that uses only negative reinforcement. I think we should also use positive reinforcement with your employees, as well. In fact, you will find that the more positive reinforcement you use, the more you get out of your employees. Do not use fear management. Negativity breeds low morale and possibly your customers can feel and sense. This will only lead to further services to poor clients.
Ask your company mystery shopping is a great way to discover howemployees do. Now, having said that once I return back to my last point, do not use this as a tactic of fear management. I worked for a company that does this and I think that only breeds negativity and poor morale, and again only leads to poor customer service because customers feel the tension with the employee. Now, if you do not know what mystery shopping is, let me clarify for you. Mystery shopping is where you have someone who appears as a client or potential clientsee what kind of customer experience they receive when they are at your company. Once again, the rules are in place all data on the type of activity and what you have trained your staff to provide to clients. Obviously, if you've trained yet, not until you do not. Now, mystery shopping can be done in several ways. You can hire a company to do it for you. They provide the firm with the criteria that employees must meet and what you want the mysterycustomers do and say. Then they will hire a mystery shopper to come through the client and the mystery shopper's report the company has taken on how the employee has with all the details on each criteria and overall score. The company then gives details on the mystery shop. It is a great way to test the overall customer experience, then train your employees. However, a number of things that I recommend. Do not tell your employees that you do. IfI'll be nervous and give your customers differently. It is more natural if you just do what they always do to the degree of the normal customer experience. Once we receive the information, use it as a training tool for employees who not only, but all are the same. And reward employees for a job well done. If you do not want to hire a company to do mystery shopping, you can ask a friend or family member to put the customer and the degree ofexperience. O, how to survey your customers and they thought of their overall experience was what I liked about him, dislikes and what they thought they could do differently!
Finally, and stress this enough, the only way to provide good service is to have a level of customer service, have a plan on how employees engage your standards, and monitoring of standards. In addition, pay employees what they deserve and provide them with the press to go toextra mile. If your employees make minimum wage and not receiving any incentive to "go the extra mile", then you will not get anything from them and will not be your customers. Employees are the face of your business. The service receives your business from your employees, so make sure your employees receive fair treatment.

Employees

Firstly, when working with clients, whatever your job, I think thisthen … How would you like to be treated if you were the customer?
If you are dissatisfied with your current job, do not blame the customer. Remember, this is not their fault if you are not satisfied with your work and not their fault if you're in a situation you are, whatever that is. Again, remember what you expect if you were the customer?
When you speak to a customer, first of all, smile! Say Hello, How May I Help You? If you are not behind a counter of some type, shakehand, introduce themselves and ask their name. Then ask them how they can help.
If your employer has a level of customer service, make sure you know what it is and respect it. And at the end of the year you receive the annual audit, do not forget to remind your boss in writing, how you met this standard and seek to be added to your annual review.
If you work in a shop of any kind, such as grocery stores, etc. .. because they ignore the customers aswalk you? Why you try to run several of them, as we have in store? When you go to a store you expect to be overwhelmed, run down, or ignored? And when you do not worry? That's my point - it should not matter where you work, you should never ignore a customer to pass and are more important for a client. This is an important lesson to learn. No matter who you are and where you work, you must learn to appreciate your customers! Think this way –Not only it could be that customers receive poor service, but more importantly, had it not been for this client would not work! Remember that the next time you ignore a customer.

The crux of the problem is that customer service is ignored or made the second to company growth and increase profitability. While in reality, good customer service will do just that, expand your business and make it more profitable.

If you are looking for a room of 50 people, 94% ofpeople in the room will tell you that he has received no customer service lately. In addition, they say that you have received extremely poor service recently, most of what we remember.

I believe that together we can change the way we are treated as customers and how we treat customers. If we all work together to change the view of everybody, then maybe we can bring back the days when customers were respected and able to remember the examples"Great Customer Service" rather than service to poor clients.

Feel free to write. Send me an email, you should visit my blog about how customer-service.blogspot.com can find my email link. I would like to hear your thoughts and comments not only on this article, but examples of customer service you received recently. Thank you in advance for the help in my mission.
