of Customer
Service
Excellence
Developing a customer â friendly attitude:
We view our customers as the most
important part of our jobs and have a
sincere appreciation of customers
Expanding definition of service
Reconsidering who our customers are
8. Expanding
Definition of
Customer
Service
⢠Customer service is not a department
somewhere within in our company. Rather, itâs
a company culture in which every individual
at every level is customer â oriented.
⢠Customer service is an attitude.
⢠Partnership with your customer
âI donât have time to create a relationship with
every customerâ
When you have a customer- friendly attitude,
you naturally develop a partnership with the
other person, and solving a problem with a
partner takes much less time than a client.
9. Some Clues that will tell you you´re seeing the
customers as interruptions of your job!!
Your shoulders hug your neck
every time the phone rings.
Switching on voice mail even
when you are in the office.
Every customer is hard to reach
you.
You enjoy saying âNOâ more
and more.
Every sentence you utter to a
customer begins with a sigh.
âBy addressing less obvious
customer needs, such as listening
with empathy when customers
have a problem or providing
options and alternatives when we
canât give customers what they
want, we widen the gap between
us and our customers.â
WITHOUT THEM, YOU HAVE
NO SALES, NO BUSINESS , AND
NO PAYCHECK.
We wonât see the importance
of a customer service until itâs
too late , and lost accounts or
reduced market share.
10. CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

interactions between a customer and
our experience. Itâs a blend of your

emotions that you create all measured
against customer expectations across
all of your points of interaction.

exceptional.
