Customer Service Skills- An Example
As I called a local business today to speak to a marketing director I was greeted with he isn’t in I’ll take your name and number no need to give me details as I am busy with payroll. This really stirred up my thoughts as to people needing customer service skills. This was my first encounter with this business and I was offering them something of value and servive, an opportunity to host my radio show at no charge and to promote them in return to my over 1000 twitter followerrs, my over 500 linked in connections, my over 1400 friends on facebook, and to all my groups. This made me think is this the 1st impression that you want to leave with your potential customers or business associates. Words like I am busy turn the caller off, instead switch it to give me a minute and I will be happy to leave a detailed message. Remember you never know who you are talking to on the other end of the phone. In this case I was not only a potential customer I am someone who can help your business. Maya Angelou once wrote “People will not remember what you said or did but they will remember how you made them feel.” Leave people feeeling good about your company by delivering outstanding customer service skills
