Know your purpose

Know your purpose

And here are some additional thoughts on this topic…

I heard a segment on our local radio recently about more soldiers getting deployed overseas.  They interviewed parents and spouses and soldiers themselves. These situations are always hard but when they happen around the holidays they’re even more difficult.

One soldier captured the situation well.

He said they are well trained and well equipped to go wherever they need to and succeed. Even more important, he said, when they do succeed, life will be better for a lot of people. You could hear it in his voice. This drove him.

For this soldier it’s  not about wanting to go into a difficult situation. Ans it’s not about NOT wanting to go.  It’s about doing his job and doing it well. He knows when he does that others will benefit.

So he gives it his all.

What if every employee on your team had this attitude? How would your organization look and feel if everyone was as motivated as this soldier?  How might this affect your customer loyalty?

Service Recovery

Are Your Customer Service Recoveries Really Recoveries?

Recently my wife picked up dinner for 4 on the way home from work. We had ordered online from Swiss Chalet (Canadian Rotisserie chicken franchise). Swiss Chalet is known for their dipping sauce, which is included with every signature meal.

When she arrived home, we discovered that the “special sauce” was not included in the order.

I called the order desk to report this lapse and the conversation went something like this.

Technology

Customer service and Twitter

The popular notion stating that if a customer receives poor service, he/she will tell nine other people, has been grossly out of date since the advent of the Internet. In reality, customers can electronically tell millions of people about their experiences. And now, with Twitter, people can tell others about their experiences as they happen.

Feedback

How to get amazing online reviews from your customers

More and more customers are going online before AND after they do business with a company. They’re getting smart about using online tools to make the best decision about who they do business with.

To thrive in this new world of connected customers you need to do more than ever to make sure your customers get the experience they want. If you do this well you can leverage the power of online feedback and reviews to grow your business. If you fail at this, the online chatter about your business can tarnish your reputation both online and off.
