Patience, Communication and adaptability are some of the tips needed to improve my team's customer service skipls. Be a good listner, constant followup and value the views and responses of the customers, by this you are building customer loyalty and relationships. Thank you
Become a customer and understand from their perspective, focus on primary survey and analysis within a time frame.Customer is a big domain for example- customer with a certain age,income , education and need/desire. Regular customer who knows possible options for purchase-competition etc. Asking questions from customers to tailor their need is the best according to me.
I have always believed that "Customer Service" is the biggest marketing tool for any organisation. Keep you customers happy and focus on pre-sales and post sales service with utmost integrity and half your job is done. These happy customers are the most cost-effective, long lasting and the best tool to increase your sales. This is something I would strongly recommend to my team.
First of all regular contact with customers should be insured, then your team has wide knowledge about product and your competitor's product so that any customer have no ambiguity about your product's value to them, also make your team's presentation skills strong and communication to be clear and understandable few words could capture huge story. Make your team polite, having smile over their faces all the time, and having a sense of humour to avoid any boredom in conversation and make the customer convinced what you say so you are providing and clearly mention if something you cannot do so tell them in advance they will have trust over you.
