Deal Everything in two ways
Customers Satisfaction is the main factor for the successful business. Try to solve the customers problems at the same time try to find out the root cause of the problem so that in near future such problems do not occur.
Improving Customer Services through Customer Reviews
It's like listening to the voice of customer by getting the pulse and benchmark of its products. It is necessary to give your customers the quality products and quality customer service. You have to chuck out the customer problems from its root.
Turn Customers into your fans
When any customer has a problem, try to fix it, as the customer will be more pleased with your services and he will be closer to you. The customer will be enhanced before he deals directly to you second time.
Accept the accountability
Always, accept the accountability of your customer. Approach the clients by saying “It's my fault”, Sorry Sir this can completely change a customer's emotions in a matter of seconds. It is also easy to get caught up in the emotional heat of the moment when someone is complaining.
Art of communication
Angry customers are not at all angry with you, he's angry at your business services and you are one of the representatives of that business services. The customer is screaming at the puppeteer, so you have to pretend as a puppeteer in front of the customer. You have to apologize on behalf of the puppeteer to the customer.
Offer Discounts
Customers are more attracted with the discounts offered to them. You have to be generous and prudent while providing discounts or refund to the customer.
Customer Centric
Adapt Customer centric techniques that are latest available in the market to develop more traffic and service oriented business. Companies that focus on creating a good customer will succeed far above those who do not.
Capture the Customer Service through Blogs
Always, go according to the trend that are changing or change the trend in the market. Think about the service automation that are prevailing in the market and the consumer applications towards it to increase the satisfaction level of the customer.
Here is an easy yet valuable road-map I've taught in many of my customer service seminars. It's easy to understand but it can be effective in keeping us on track so we consistently deliver what our customers want from us.
1. Connect with your customer
This is critical. This is where you establish rapport and begin a relationship with your customer. Connecting means you're building trust that runs both ways. Do this by engaging your customer. Start by giving them your name and asking theirs. Be interested in them and what they want. Ask questions. Listen. Respond appropriately. Have a conversation with them. Be genuine.
People know when you are genuinely interested in helping them or not. If you are, they are more likely to respond positively to you and to develop trust with you. If you are really not interested, they'll sense it and you'll have a much harder time developing the trust you need to help them.
2. Discover what they want
If you have a genuine conversation with your customer, you will discover what they want. They don't always know what they want. Or they might have trouble expressing it. Often people know what they want but they're unsure how to get it. That's where you come in.
By asking pertinent questions and paying attention to the answers, you can discover a lot about your customer. You can help guide them to getting what they want. That's the role you fill and that's how you keep customers coming back.
3. Know what you can do
We can't always give the customer everything they want. Sometimes they want what we can't do. Other times, it's something we choose not to do.
Every business has a niche to fill. That means doing what the business is best at doing for the customers it can serve best. This step is about “picking your battles”. It's about choosing the customers who best fit what you can do well by knowing what you do best.
4. Do it
This sounds easy and maybe it should be. But it's where many businesses fail. They fail because they don't manage the process of planning, doing, measuring and monitoring well.
To execute well you need to be able to measure what's important. What gets measured gets done. So, convert your customer's wants into actions you can measure. Then setup a system to measure the outcomes and the actions that produce them.
5. Follow-up
For customers, this is icing on their cake. It's true for you too because it's easy to do yet it pays huge dividends in customer loyalty.
As you plan your execution phase, make sure you plan a follow-up contact. Follow-up by phone, email, letter, visit, whatever works. The more direct and personal the better but make it work for your customer and your company. This thrills customers because very few companies do it consistently.
6. Thank them
This often gets forgotten. Or it gets treated lightly. Too often when I hear a “thanks for doing business with us” it sounds phony, forced or robotic. People often say it out of habit but they put no feeling or authenticity into it.
So, when you thank your customers, be real about it. Make it genuine. Thank them in multiple ways, not just once. make sure they know you are grateful for their business.
Follow these six steps with every customer and you'll find your level of customer service will increase dramatically. Coach your employees to understand and work through these steps (every time) and you'll see your customer loyalty and customer retention go through the roof.
