5 Ways to Test Your Customer Service Level
| |
| Your customer service level is a significant measure of how well (or how bad) you serve your customers. Thus, it is a crucial determinant of how well your business will do - particularly how good you are at retaining customers and generating repeat business. Indirectly, it also contributes to your referral business - how well you serve existing customers will influence their inclination to refer you to their friends, family and acquaintances. |

Handling Angry Customers
| |
| We’ve all had the joy of being faced with an angry customer for one reason or another. Sometimes it is something your company has done to upset him; such as a late delivery, poor service, a flawed product or a billing problem. Sometimes it’s something you did or didn’t do personally; such as forgot to follow up, messed up his order or just ignored him as a customer. And sometimes it’s something in the customer’s mind or his perception that you or your company did, when in reality it was just that his expectations weren’t set correctly. Whatever the reason, you must deal with an angry customer and do it in a respectful, professional manner. |

360-Degree View Promises Delivery
| |
| Do all the external-facing departments in your company see the world through your customer’s eyes? All customer touch points, including marketing, sales, customer service, technical support and accounts receivables, should be integrated with each other.
No matter who your customers connect with in your company, their experience must be consistent, clear and coordinated, an integrated “360-degree” view of your customer, ensuring that promise and delivery are in sync.
Three elements of a company propel its business: marketing, sales and customer service. Most companies know, theoretically, that these three elements need to work together effectively to produce steady sales, revenue growth and happy customers. |

Do you have Renowned Customer Service?

Do your customers tell others about you? If not, you do not have renowned customer service.
Face it. Your customers can buy the products and service you sell from a lot of different competitors. The only thing you really have to differentiate your business and yourself is your service. |

Would you get A Tattoo of the General Motors’ Logo?
| |
| When was the last time you were really excited about the customer service you received? A recent survey showed that 44% of people rate the customer service they usually receive as dull and bland.
Most customer service experiences are, well ok, and we unusually come away somewhat satisfied from the experience. This is all well and good, but most of your competitors are already doing this. To stand out from the competition you need to demonstrate customer service on a dramatically different level: service that is anything but bland and dull! Think Disney, Harley Davidson, or Apple.

Five Attributes that Lead to Exceptional Customer Service
| |
| As a business owner, I have developed a keen sense of the attributes of people who are highly motivated as well as those qualities that lead to counter productive behavior. Regardless of the industry, customer service is key to the success of your business. Unfortunately, there are many examples of people whose poor customer service has been memorable: people who have left us on hold and forgotten about us, waitresses who never return to our table, the customer service person who leaves us on the phone for several minutes. We all have experienced poor customer service at some level.
This article illustrates how Five Attributes Can Lead to Exceptional Customer Service. I refer to them as the PAULA(sm) Customer Service Success Program.
