10 WAYS TO INSTILL CUSTOMER SERVICEEXCERPTED FROM DELIVERING HAPPINESS

• MAKE CUSTOMER SERVICE A PRIORITY FOR THE WHOLE COMPANY, NOT JUST A DEPARTMENT. A CUSTOMER SERVICE ATTITUDE NEEDS TO COME FROM THE TOP.

• MAKE WOW A VERB THAT IS PART OF YOUR COMPANY’S EVERYDAY VOCABULARY.• EMPOWER AND TRUST YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS. TRUST THAT THEY WANT TO PROVIDE

GREAT SERVICE… BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY DO. ESCALATIONS TO A SUPERVISOR SHOULD BE RARE.

• REALIZE THAT IT’S OK TO FIRE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE INSATIABLE OR ABUSE YOUR EMPLOYEES.

• DON’T MEASURE CALL TIMES, DON’T FORCE EMPLOYEES TO UPSELL, AND DON’T USE SCRIPTS.

• DON’T HIDE YOUR 1-800 NUMBER. IT’S A MESSAGE NOT JUST TO YOUR CUSTOMERS, BUT TO YOUR EMPLOYEES AS WELL.

• VIEW EACH CALL AS AN INVESTMENT IN BUILDING A CUSTOMER SERVICE BRAND, NOT AN EXPENSE YOU’RE SEEKING TO MINIMIZE.

• HAVE THE ENTIRE COMPANY CELEBRATE GREAT SERVICE. TELL STORIES OF WOW EXPERIENCES TO EVERYONE IN THE COMPANY.

• FIND AND HIRE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY PASSIONATE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE.• GIVE GREAT SERVICE TO EVERYONE: CUSTOMERS, EMPLOYEES, AND VENDORS.

6.THE RIGHT TEAM

AND CAN THEY BEAPPLIED TO YOU?

HOW?

1. COMMITMENT HOW IMPORTANT TO YOU?

DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A LONG-TERM, SUSTAINABLE BRAND?

ARE YOU WILLING TO COMMIT FINANCES, RESOURCES, AND TIME TO IT?

HOW HIGH A PRIORITY WILL IT BE (NOT JUST

FOR A MONTH OR YEAR, BUT THE LIFE OF THE COMPANY)? WILL IT BE?

2. DEFINE YOUR CORE VALUESIT’S HARD, SO START EARLY.

WHAT ARE YOUR COMPANY’S CORE VALUES?

WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL CORE VALUES?

DO THEY ALIGN?

EXAMPLES:VENDOR EXTRANET

4. VISIONDOES IT HAVE MEANING AND PASSION BEHIND IT?

DOES IT INSPIRE (VS. MOTIVATE)?

“CHASE THE VISION, NOT THE PAPER.”

-

FOR EMPLOYEES

WHAT’S THE LARGER VISION AND GREATER PURPOSE IN THEIR WORK BEYOND MONEY OR PROFITS?

FOR ENTREPRENEURS

WHAT WOULD YOU BE PASSIONATE ABOUT DOING IF YOU DIDN’T FEAR FAILURE AND DIDN’T MAKE ANY MONEY FOR 10 YEARS?

5. BUILD RELATIONSHIPSIT’S NOT ABOUT NETWORKING OR MARKETING. IT’S ABOUT CONNECTEDNESS.

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED, YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRY TO BE INTERESTING.

“IF THE PERSON YOU’RE TALKING TO ISN’T LISTENING, BE PATIENT. MAYBE HE HAS A SMALL PIECE OF FLUFF IN HIS EAR.”

-

6. BUILD THE RIGHT TEAM

HIRE SLOWLY. FIRE QUICKLY.

HIRE BASED ON VALUES.

THAT’S GREAT BUT IT’LL NEVER WORK FOR ME OR MY COMPANY…

MIGHT BE TRUE IF YOU THINK THAT WAY, PROBABLY NOT TRUE

IF YOU THINK IT CAN… SO HOLD THAT THOUGHT.
