Customer Service Carnivale: June 22, 2009

Welcome to the June 22 edition of the Customer Service Carnivale. This week we have contributions from across the globe with ideas and suggestions to help you improve your customer service.

We start with Shaun Sayers at Capable People. Shaun asks what has happened to great customer service as he shares some of his recent customer service experiences.

Peter Cantelo who, along with Shaun Sayers joins us from the UK, has advice on how to lose a customer. And he guarantees these will work. Peter’s suggestions are really just reverse psychology. Do the opposite of what Peter suggests and you’ll keep your custome’s happy and loyal.

With an eye toward the future, Mariano DiFabio, brings technology into the customer service conversation today. He relates a recent example where he used Twitter to get customer support for a project. He also shares some tips and ideas on using Twitter.

And, Maria Palma adds some thoughts and tidbits about customer service and Twitter.

Finally, the Amazing Service Guy (that’s me) writes about the silver lining behind customer complaints in: Complaints Are Just Feedback. In this post, we talk about how you can turn customer complaints into gold.

That’s the Customer Service Carnivale for this week. Check the home page for the date and location of the next edition. Thanks for reading!

When a company makes a mistake, it can be the brightest moment in their history.

Toyota had that opportunity. But they missed their moment. Big time.

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.

1. Brands are using a focus on customers as a competitive differentiator in their advertisements.
