Loyal and repeat customers – What does this mean for you? Salary increases More tips Promotion Job security Learning good customer service skills has a “carry over” value, which means it will benefit you in future job positions. As we all know, businesses cannot succeed for any length of time without offering excellent customer service.
Social and communication skills are as important as technical job skills for success in the workplace. These “soft skills” include – See Slide Recognize people as individuals with unique needs and meet those needs with friendliness, concern, and respect. Providing quality customer service must be the number one priority of every employee and must be communicated as such in company policy.
If you would, please type in some expectations you have as a customer in the Chat Box in the lower right-hand corner of your control panel.
Animation Slide There are 5 elements of Service Quality Reliability Assurance Tangibles Empathy Responsiveness
Animation Slide Did you know some people have already formed customer service expectations prior to entering a business and interacting with employees? These service expectations are formed by: Word-of-Mouth Personal Desires Media Messages Past Experiences
Circle of Service page The guest is always at the center . It’s important to remember that the visitor or guest must be the center focus of everything. Each segment of the circle represents an important aspect for delivering quality service – having a service strategy, having a guest friendly environment and having guest friendly employees. Businesses exist to serve customers. No business, event, or attraction can exist without customers! Keeping customers satisfied leads to repeat visitation and loyalty. A successful business brings money into the community and creates jobs for residents. Defining a Service Strategy Creating a Guest-Friendly Environment means… Hiring and training Guest-Friendly Employees means…
Animation Slide When customers visit your business, they notice how you meet or fail to meet their needs. An unsatisfied customer who does not complain will probably not come back. POLL: Does anyone know what percentage of customers do not complain? Jim Story About 96% of customers who quit will not tell you when or why they quit; they just leave and do not return. The customers who leave with a bad experience will tell others! Technologies, such as blogs, e-mail, Facebook and MySpace have dramatically increased the number of people others tell about a bad customer service experience.
Animation Slide Types of Customer Complaints: Red Alert – Providers who assume customers are stupid or dishonest and treat them harshly or disrespectfully. Broken Promises – Service providers who do not show up as promised or careless, mistake-prone service. I Just Work Here – Powerless employees who lack authority, or the desire, to solve basic customer problems. Lights On, No One Home – Clueless employees who do not know (i.e., will not take the time to learn) the answers to customer’s common questions. Jim Story
In January 2002, the research group Public Agenda conducted a survey of 2,013 adults. 79% of respondents reported that the lack of respect and courtesy in American society is a serious problem. Since customer service and customer satisfaction are strongly related, providing quality service to customers must be the number one priority of every employee.
As we read through the behaviors for making a good first impression, notice how many are related to how we look, move and sound.
Good manners are a combination of common sense and consideration for others.
When Introduced: Stand up – not doing so may be considered as disinterested Move toward the person while establishing and maintaining eye contact Smile Give your full attention. If you look distracted it makes others feel unimportant. Shake hands – greet the other person and repeat their name When You are Introducing Yourself: Your introduction needs to be positive, and well delivered. Present a 10-second commercial about yourself (Elevator Speech) Name Who you are Your position Other relevant information Say goodbye gracefully: “Thank you for coming!” or “It was a pleasure to meet you.”
Mention the name of the person of authority or importance first, which would be, the client or visitor, dignitary, official or guest of honor . If you are not sure who is most important, or everyone is of equal status, choose the person you would like to compliment and introduce them first. Introduce the younger person to the older (“Mr. Smith, this is my son Sam”) and the man to the woman (“Ms. Smith, this is Dr. Duncan.”). Use proper titles such as PhD, M.D., Senator, Judge, use the titles even if they are retired – A good rule is: once a governor always a governor. “Ms.” is the most appropriate title for women, married or not. If you can, add some personal information about each person: “Mr. Jones is a computer technician.” The information should be: Business related Something appropriate to the setting Preferably complimentary Only say each person’s name once. Do not use nicknames.
Foreign Language Customers & Visitors Each year, millions of people come to the U.S. to live or visit. Some speak little or no English. Providing good customer service to your foreign language customers can be a challenge, and may mean more effort on your end. Later, we will discuss specific communication techniques. Seniors/Youngsters/Families How are these customers different? Seniors may have hearing loss – speak clearly and slowly. Treat teens and young customers with the same amount of dignity and respect as older customers. Make sure the business has the necessary items for families, such as a baby changing station in the men’s and women’s restrooms. Customers with Special Needs (Courtesies for People With Disabilities) Do not ignore a person because you feel awkward. Consider how you would like to be treated if you suddenly had to change places. Sometimes a customer will have a caregiver with them. Speak directly to the individual; never refer to them in third person. Ex: Say “Would you like coffee? not “Would he like coffee?” Always put the person first.
Animation Slide Humans communicate in three ways: POLL: In what way do we communicate the most? Did you know first impressions are made in the first 6 seconds of meeting someone? This means you need to constantly be aware of how you are communicating verbally, vocally and visually at all times – especially when you are in the workplace! Creating a good first impression is essential – you may never get a second chance!
Ask Jim for help Visual communication accounts for 55% of all communication. This means you send silent but powerful signals just by the way you walk into a room. The goal is to move gracefully, naturally and confidently. Half of the way people size-up one another is based on the first glance: therefore, it is important to understand the language of visual signals.
There is a direct connection between how you perceive yourself and your attitude. How positive or negative a person feels about themselves has an impact on their interactions with customers, clients and guests.
Rhetorical Appropriate dress for the type of work you are doing reflects professionalism. Whatever the job, cleanliness is a MUST! Sloppy dress creates an impression of poor work. Many businesses have strict dress code policies. It is important to make sure you follow all dress code policies while on the job.
Appearance is about marketing – about selling ourselves. Marketers work hard to create a certain image and perception, known as a brand. 1st -- Marketers spend millions designing packaging. We are doing the same thing consciously or unconsciously when we get ready for work each day. Would you buy a product in a box that is damaged and/or dirty? Our packaging is the same thing – It is about making us acceptable in the work world. For example, why do you think some clothing stores require employees to wear only their merchandise? 2nd -- Marketing experts use communication to sell a product. We market ourselves by the way we communicate.
First Impressions Smile immediately and often Be the first to say hello and extend your hand Rise to greet both men and women Maintain eye contact Deliver a sincere greeting that changes with each person you meet in a small group
Learn and use everyone’s names Extend offers of help and hospitality Greet people at the door Watch your host or hostess for cues if the meeting is on someone else’s territory Inform yourself ahead of time - people, place, potential situations Watch the volume of your voice Listen 80% - talk 20% Observe the rules of “nice and polite” Dress a little above everyone’s expectations
