+Customer service: delight your customers
Customer Service Tips

Customer service: Case History
- Treat every problem as an opportunity. Go just a bit overboard to please any customer
who complains.
- Don't wait for customer complaints. Try purchasing your own products, and see what the
experience is like.
- For every customer who complains, 9 will be silent about the same problem. Try to track
down who else had the problem, and follow up with them.
- Don't make it your goal to please a customer; make it your goal to delight a customer.
- Respond to every customer who contacts you--this alone goes a long way toward repairing
damage.
- Try to understand two things: what the problem is, and what the customer's perception of
the problem is. Address both.
- Never give a glib response to a customer complaint. Their comments are valuable
feedback.
- Some customers are not worth keeping--a customer who is chasing the lowest cost or who
makes unreasonable demands limits your ability to service your other customers.
- Never minimize a customer's problem--if the problem is serious enough for the customer
to complain about, it's serious enough for you to resolve.
- Don't shuffle a customer to someone else. People really hate this kind of treatment. If
you must forward a customer to someone else, leave the customer your name and contact
information so the customer can come back to you. Also, asks the customer for contact
information so you can ensure the problem is resolved. Make a note to contact that
customer within 24 hours. If you are forwarding the customer by phone, stay on the line
with that customer until s/he reaches the right party.
