For better customer service be consistent

Here is your Daily Dose of Amazing Service:

Be consistent

And here are some additional thoughts on this topic…

I’m a fan of the various sub and sandwich shops that have sprung up in the past few years.  They enable me to eat healthy and conveniently. And though the are all different, they all are good enough to patronize. But the shops that get my loyalty stand out in a big way.

They are consistent.

The food is always good. The bread is always fresh. The shop is always clean. And their people are consistent in how they treat me. They always greet me. They’re attentive as they build me sub. They focus on me while they’re helping me. The menus don’t change dramatically. I always get a “thank you” when I pay and a “good bye” when I leave. Always. Every time. No exceptions.

How consistent is the experience you give your customers? It goes beyond the product quality and a friendly greeting. You need to be consistent about everything, every time. If you’re not sure, ask your customers. And be your customer once in awhile to know for sure.

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.
