Asking Right Questions

It is one thing to ask a lot of questions as a customer service representative. It is a skill to be able to understand the right questions to ask. According to the article titled "7 Tips for Excellent Customer Service" on the Microsoft Business website, when a customer service representative understands the right questions to ask, it helps to make her seem competent to the customer. Asking the right questions makes the customer feel as though the customer service associate understands the issue, and is qualified to help.

Fitting Solutions with Problems

A good customer service representative has a comprehensive understanding of the solutions that are available to him, and he has the ability to match up those solutions with a variety of customer issues. The customer service associate also knows when it is necessary to send the issue to a higher level, and stays on the line with the client until someone at the next level picks up the phone. Understanding which solutions work for customer issues can give the customer the feeling that a customer service department is competent and efficient.

New Customer, New Issue

Some customer service calls can be easy, and some can be very challenging. One of the skills a customer service representative needs to develop is the ability to treat each call separately. The customer that just yelled and screamed in the previous call has nothing to do with the next customer waiting to be taken care of. To be able to provide excellent customer service, a service associate needs to realize that each new customer presents a new issue.

Patience

A frustrated customer service representative does not present a positive image to the client. Patience is not only a virtue in customer service, it is a necessary skill in order to deliver excellent service. Allow customers to present their entire case before speaking, listen to what the customer is saying to try to determine the real issue and take the time to review the information with the client to be sure you got it right. A slow and steady demeanor can help calm an angry customer and allow your call to move on smoothly.

Summary: Customer service tasks are1) Handling inquiries2) Solving problems3)handling complaints4)sales role5) data entry.

The customer service department fulfils an important role for an organisation. Customer service is often the main point of contact for a customer, so representatives can paint the company in a positive light by providing friendly and prompt service. In some cases, the customer service department can even generate additional sales for the company. Customer service requires a great deal of patience since customers may be rude or demanding at times. The main focus of a customer service department should be to attempt to satisfy the customer's needs.
