Treating Co-Workers as Customers
With all good intention, companies focus on training their front-line personnel to exceed customer expectations at every customer touch point. But let’s face it… internal relations mirror external relations. Departmentalized mindsets, lack of cooperation and unaligned objectives all eventually reflect on the quality of service to our customers. That’s why internal service is the backbone of customer satisfaction. Only when employees serve each other can the customer be served.
Appreciate the difference between cooperative and confrontational communication. Immediately apply the skills to avoid uncalled for personality conflicts.

Proactive Customer Service
Excellent customer service is not just an embellishment for a company that sells products or services. It is the most important ingredient to any company’s success – even more important than the product being sold.
In fact, studies show that 70% of customers change providers not because of price or quality issues, but because they did not like how they were handled or treated by the provider. It also costs the company five to six times more to win new customers than to keep one who is loyal.
Get more loyal customers by developing and improving your service to them. Personalize your service by developing front liners’ skills and heightening their sensitivity toward customers.

- See each customer contact as an opportunity to deliver impressive service.

Managing Customer Service
Satisfying customers is not as easy as it used to be, especially in this highly-competitive environment. We need to impress and delight them at every point of contact. To do this, our people’s customer service needs to positively – and not negatively – stand out.
More importantly, our people need a good leader, manager, or supervisor to satisfy customers. After all, people will follow to the extent they are led. Managers and supervisors need to walk the talk of excellent service before they pass this on to their people.
