THE premier resource for effective customer service

It takes less than a minute for a service provider to send a message that will either win the heart and mind of a customer or potentially lose them forever (along with just about everyone to whom they relate their experience). To prevent this from occurring service providers need solid knowledge and skills in effectively communicating and building strong interpersonal relationships with customers. Customer Service Skills for Success and the resources on this website will provide the help needed!!

In recent decades, as competition from Asia, Europe, India, and elsewhere has gained momentum, companies that were previously satisfied with status quo began to pay attention to the fact that they were losing customers. The realization that traditional product and service leaders might not remain leaders in the face of strong competition has served as a wake-up call to those organizations. Time will tell who takes the lead in various industries; However, the fact that awareness and focus are now centered on creating true customer-focused organization cultures is a good indication that there is a strong chance of success in the future.

Let’s face it, if you think of customer service situations that you have experienced as a customer in the last week, you can probably think of more negative ones that positive. Try it. Take a minute to play a little game. Think of all of the organizations that you called or visited within the past week. Make a list of what went well and what did not…and why. With that list in mind, switch your thinking to the service provider role and think, “If I had been the service provider in each of those situations, what would I have been proud of? What would I have done differently?

Unfortunately, many service providers never play this little game. If they did, chances are they would often do and say things differently when encountering a customer. Assuming that they really care about the job they are doing and possess any degree of self-respect and professionalism, they would likely be more empathetic, concerned, dynamic, proactive, and customer-focused. They would also care that they are being perceived negatively when they did or said something that was not targeting perfect customer service.

As customers, we have been programmed through experience to expect poor customer service because of the number of companies that fail to apply Customer Service 101 (the basics). Stop and think. When was the last time you had a good experience. When you did have a quality customer service experience you were probably shocked and amazed at how easy it was to do business with that company. As a result, you likely look for reasons to continue doing business with the company.

So who is responsible for quality customer service? EVERYONE in the organization must take ownership -- from top management, down to the support staff who take care of equipment and facilities. All employees must do their part to create a positive service-oriented environment in which all employees and their customers achieve the degree of satisfaction desired or needed. In a world where so many organizations provide the same or similar products and services, especially on the Internet, the only thing that often separates you from your competitors is the level of service that you provide. If you forget or disregard this fact, you and your organization will ultimately suffer. Your organization because of lost business, which equates to lost revenue and you because without that additional revenue, your organization cannot afford to pay you more and enhance benefits, equipment, and the working environment. The ultimate result could be downsizing and your loss of a job (as we have seen over & over during the past decade).

Relationships are built on trust!!! The most important thing to remember related to trust is that without it, you have no relationship. Only through continued positive efforts on the part of everyone in your organization can you demonstrate to customers that you are worthy of being trusted. Through actions and deeds, you must deliver quality products, services, and information that satisfy the needs of your customers.

One of the biggest challenges faced in any service environment is communicating effectively with customers. This is because each person brings with them a different level of communication knowledge and skill that sometimes conflict with others. Often, this is due to the fact that as children, they had poor communication role models and have never learned the basics of courtesy (e.g. please and thank you), respect (e.g. allowing someone else to speak first while listening intently to their message, and interpersonal communication and feedback skills (e.g. verbal and no-verbal communication and listening skills).

These deficits or communication shortcomings lead to missed messages, miscommunication, frustration, irritation and in some instances, downright anger.

The choice of how you treat customers is up to you. If you are missing the knowledge and skills to do the right job Global Performance Strategies can help. Read on for a special introductory offer so you will be the company of choice for customers.
