I am a HUGE FAN of Customer Service.
My life and business were completely changed in the early 1990’s when I attended my first-ever one-day workshop on customer service.
It was run by a training group called “Aussie Host”. The Aussie Host trainer explained that friendly, smiley staff & service attract customers and then they “come back and tell others” – this was truly an “AHA MOMENT” in my life.
Aussie Host was a basic frontline customer service program based on the successful “Canada Host”. The Canada Host training had been successful in training tourism operators before the influx of tourists for the Canadian Olympics..
Since then I have seen and experienced MANY great customer service programs and speakers.
The message of Customer Service is TIMELESS and needs to be repeated and heard in different ways over and over.
Customer Service is a fairly simple concept but sometimes gets forgotten when things are going really well. In these turbulent times, many businesses are refocusing back on their core customers and delivering a great customer experience.
It is absolutely CRITICAL in a competitive marketplace to offer and deliver a great customer experience.
How can you improve and deliver AMAZING Customer Service?
You might know your customers as clients, guests, members, patrons, patients, VIPs or a variety of other names. They are ALL Customers and they all have high expectations!
Various Customer Service Speakers advocate Measuring and Managing “Gaps” and “Expectations” in Service Delivery.
Surprising and Delighting Customers and Adding more WOW! is also popular – Thanks to Doug Malouf and marketing guru Winston Marsh.
Adopting a Customer Service Mindset also helps – Things such as kindness, gratitude, empathy & positivity.
Training your team on “dealing with difficult situations” and “Customer Service Recovery” can also be very helpful in delivering amazing experiences.
Customer Service has many names (pick one!)
Customer Service also comes in many other varieties and flavours – from Human Experience (HX, H2H) and Customer Experience (CX) to Customer Loyalty, Customer Appreciation & Customer Satisfaction, Customer Excellence, Service Design and Customer Centricity and more!
Modern high-tech versions of Customer Service for web/digital include User Experience (UX), Digital Customer Experience (DCX) and even ‘reducing Friction and Cart Abandonment’.
