What are the qualities customer service employees are required to have?

CUSTOMER SERVICE

"Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the level of customer satisfaction – that is, the feeling that a product or service has met the customer expectation."

In Wikipedia, you will find customer service defined as the provision of service before, during and after a purchase

Kate Nasser recommends the following simple and effective definition

“Customer Service is knowledge delivered with care to make life easy for the customer”

Peter Drucker advocates “You have to manage for results, do the right thing right

and make serving the customer the centre of everything”

It is a “research-led” tool that tests in great depth areas that are a focus for customers in the service sector. Emphasis being placed upon professionalism, staff attitude, customer insight  and all aspects of service delivery.

Wowing the customer builds the organization’s reputation and overall brand. Employees will not always understand this; therefore, it is IMPERATIVE that management challenges employees and coaches them to a level beyond what they’re willing to do

Customer Service staff are the front line personnel, if sincere can bring the “brand value” alive to the very customers that their company’s is seeking to retain. On the other hand, an insincere and casual approach to customers readily brings down the image of the company in the eyes of the customers.

Excellence in customer service means that an organization is customer centric and whatever it does is always done with a focus on customer. Organizations said to be excelling in customer service are offering value added services and value for them is as defined by the value received.  Value defined from the customer’s point of view is key to manufacturer’s / supplier’s  success.

Philip Kotler the world renowned marketing guru said  “Good salespeople remember that they are born with two ears and one mouth. This reminds them that they should be doing twice as much listening as talking. If you want to lose the sale, make a pitch to the customer.”

 

By the above definition, one should listen more and talk less irrespective of whether  one is a customer service specialist or a salesman or not.
