Errors in Customer Service
By Author on Oct 27, 2010 in Customer Service
Let’s look at some of the major mistakes that often make as to what service or customer service concerns:
Lack of training
A common mistake that customer service is concerned, is not to train our staff to provide a good service or customer service.
Not only do we train staff that has frequent contact with the client, but all our staff should be trained and trained to provide a good service from the staff responsible for security, through the receptionist to the CEO.
For this, you do not need to enroll in courses to our staff or hire a specialist instructor in customer service, just make small weekly meetings where we talk about customer service that we provide, how we can improve this service, what opinions we gathered from our customers, etc.
We must prevent our staff are apathetic, disinterested and uninformed when dealing with customers. And instead, we must ensure that always display friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and always greet, say thanks and show a sincere smile.
Untrained staff in customer service is the best way to lose our customers.
Discuss with the client
Another common misconception about customer service, is to discuss or argue with it.
To an opinion, objection or complaint by the customer, we should never discuss or argue with him, we must always stay calm and serene attitude and show dialog.
Always we must be kind above circumstances. To have an opinion, objection or claim of the customer, not consider valid, we should respond politely and make him understand that we respect your position, but not shared.
We must always remember the phrase “the customer is always right”, although not actually have.
Discuss or argue with the customer not only will we definitely lose that customer, but it is very likely to speak ill of us to other consumers.
Too strict policy
Another error in the customer service is to abide by company policies to the letter and not make concessions when the client asks for it.
We must always be willing to be flexible, not too stick to the rules or company policies and make concessions when we see fit, for example, say we should not only accept a certain currency, or the menu of our restaurant is not can be altered.
We should avoid the phrases “is the company policy” and “if I do this for you would have them all, and develop flexible policies that allow for better treatment of customers, and prevent their looking for other businesses.
Do not keep a promise
Another error in the customer service is not respecting the promises they make to our customers.
If we promise the client to perform a job or submitting an order for a given day, we must do the work or the order exactly for that day.
To achieve this, if we promise something, we must ensure that we can really accomplish.
If we cannot accomplish something, we must be honest and tell the client that currently do not have specific product, or cannot perform such work, but very soon we will have that product, or we will be enhancing our processes and thereby, we can serve you as quickly.
