Always put you best foot forward. Be a world changer. Be part of the solution and not the problem. The principal of "do onto others as you want done to you," Have your fill out a friendly short survey, to get to the pulse of your business and see which employees encourage more business and the clients appreciate. Reward awesome employees and praise their excellent work it in the weekly employee meetings. Never criticize an employee in front of others. Always privately. www.maverick1007.com
In my business (Marriage and Family Therapy), I try to have all appointments take place timely, keep my office clean and well stocked with water, coffee and chocolates, treat my clients with respect and dignity and always follow-up/return calls in a timely fashion. It is my experience that these few things are important to showing your client/customer that they are valued and respected and that their money is being well spent on a quality service. I also only promise that which I can provide and never work out of my scope of practice or give clients false hope of an outcome I do not know. Honesty and Integrity are key.
I have found that the best way to provide stellar customer services is to start by listening! When you truly take the time to learn what your clients need and the problems they need to solve, then you have found your focus. The next crucial step is to make sure everyone in your company is onboard ~ and that starts with happy employers. When your workforce feels valued and recognized, that trickles down to how they treat your customers. Happy Employees lead to Happy and Loyal Customers.
I treat each customer like they are the only person I am working with. I call them by their name and I treat them with respect. I ask questions - what their needs and wants are, what they are working with to meet those goals and then do whatever I can to make it easy on them so they on't have to work hard to achieve the results they desire. I follow up with them EVERY time to ensure they were provided with quality and excellence in our product and service, asking if there is anything we could do to improve. And every encounter whether over the phone, eye to eye or even in text or email, is done with a genuine, heartfelt smile. Our motto is Cooking for You Like Family and I LOVE my family --- so from the moment I start with my customers until the end, I treat them like family!
Exceptional customer service is delivered when you go above and beyond the expectations of the client. It's not just a service that you are providing - it's the experience that customer is having with you as the face of your company. Not all experiences will be positive with fireworks - but addressing the clients concerns opening and honestly, and giving every effort to correct the situation will leave a lasting impression.
Always come through and on schedule. When I opened our Store - we were the new kid on the block. We provided solutions, and even suggested better options, in some instances the option was more affordable -yet the results was amazing. We'd even stayed late or personally deliver for their convenience.
When the Happy Customer ask to take a card, I'd say, "Take as many as you'd like and share the love." They always smile - and has referred more to us! That's our winning formula!
Plus, I treat people the way I'd like to be treated . . . which is biblical based. . . Love Thy Neighbor!
1) Treat my customers the way I would want to be treated.
2) Listen, Listen, Listen - most customers will tell you want they want or do not want
3) BE HONEST AT ALL TIMES! If the job is outside your scope - tell the customer upfront. If what the customer is asking for will not work out - tell the customer upfront. (Especially if you have encountered the issue in the past)
4) DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW SOMETHING WHEN YOU DON'T!!!!!
I ALWAYS put myself if their shoes. If I were the customer, how would I want to be treated? What level of service and follow-thru would I expect? And then I strive to deliver exactly that.
You must love your customer, always remember what is important for them not what you will get out of it. People want to trust those who they do business with. Remember birthdays and always thank them. Make them feel appreciated, always remember they are your paycheck. Respect that. Never say NO always figure out an alternative.
