Deliver Better Customer Service by Having Fun

Here is your Daily Dose of Amazing Service:

Have fun today!

And here are some additional thoughts on this topic…

One of the biggest reasons customers don’t return is they have no reason to. Sure they might get what they want but they often get it with no personality, no sparkle, no sizzle. Their experience is a dud. It’s about as exciting as cleaning your ears. There’s nothing memorable about it. Or worse, employees are crabby, grouchy or even angry and they show it. Yuk!

On the other hand, companies that enjoy tremendous customer loyalty offer their customers something they can’t get anywhere else: FUN. They provide them an unexpected, positive experience. They have fun with them. The employees enjoy their work and each other and their customers. It’s not that they goof off or waste time. They don’t. But they find ways to bring fun and joy into their work and they bring their customers along for the ride.

Watch this video (it’s short and funny and work-safe). Then ask yourself how you could bring more fun to your job and your customers. What’s one thing you could do today to get started?

Peachtree knows that customer service is cool

Customer service is the new marketing because now companies can no longer control what people are saying about them. Everyday, customers and prospects are ranting and raving about your company on social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Companies that don’t get customer service and don’t react to what customers are talking about are doomed to fail.

Focus on customer service in 2010 (finally?)

This may be it. This may be the year that it finally happens. 2010 may just be the year that companies start to focus on their customers and serving them well.

Now, I am cautiously optimistic about this focus on customer service, but let me tell you why I feel this way.
