IGNORE OR RESPOND?
What do you think?
“I am sorry you had a bad experience. As you
can see from other reviews we do much better
99% of the time. The next time you stop in,
ask for the manager. Mention this post and we
will have something special for you.”
Does this encourage more negative responses?
“I am sorry you had a bad experience. 99% of
our customers have a good experience. I will
send you a private message and make it right
for you.”
Does this encourage more negative responses?
Fast Response Customer Service
Smile!
Clean Language
A simple principle: If I use the same words as you,
then we have a greater possibility of creating a rapid
rapport based on mutual language use.
» Customer calls it: medical bill, don’t say statement
» Customer calls it: turned off, don’t say power cycle
» Customer calls it: balance, don’t say reconcile
Stop Everything.
“I am sorry, but that is against
our policy.”
“Our Policy”
» Try to avoid the words “our policy” and “procedure”.
» Most policies are required because of laws that require
them.
» Most policies do benefit your customers in some way;
maybe not directly, but as a whole.
» When you have to say: “our policy” or “our procedure”, see
if you can change it to show their benefit or at least that
they are not alone in the situation.
Example
“I know this sale item is only 2 per customer,
but may I have 3?”
No, that is against our policy. (stop)
Answer Fire Back:
“I know this sale item is only 2 per customer,
but may I have 3?”
No, that is against our policy. Would you be paying
with cash, check or credit card?
Example
Answer Fire Back:
“I know this sale item is only 2 per customer, but may I
have 3?”
We have so many great customers like you and we want to
make sure that they all can take advantage of the sale
so everybody is happy. I am sure you understand!
Never said NO.
Turn them into loyal buyers and be assumptive in closing
the conversation.
Even Better Example
“I know this sale item is only 2 per customer, but
may I have 3?”
I know you are a great customer. I am going to
bend the rules a bit for you! But you have to
promise to be a customer for life! 
Do we have a deal?
Policy | Policy | Policy
» Know Why (KW?) you have the policy.
» Re-Evaluate the policy.
» Make sure your competitors have a similar policy.
» Know a “quick story” about the policy.
» Know how to “bend” a policy for good customers.
» Give co-workers the understanding of when to
“bend” a policy and how to do it.
Look Me In The Eye!
Tell Somebody Where To Go!
Directions To:
» Nearest Gas Station
» Park
» Event (Fair, Festival)
» Hospital
» Theater
» Think: out of town people/visitors
» Why not have it printed off!
Speak Clearly
Not OUR Fault
Still Our PROBLEM!
Not Your Fault, Still Our Problem
1. Look up phone numbers for people.
2. Find other companies that can help them.
3. Be a connector.

LOYALTY

List where you fail your clients?
Is it because they were “over promised?”
Challenge:
How could you train your team to better state the reality
of the promise to make your company look better?
LOYALTY
What is your nail!
This is your pain.
Capture Opportunity
To Bring Value
Capture Opportunity
To Bring Value
Bringing value is really adding to your product. It may
turn out to make your customers more loyal and/or
give an opportunity to increase the “add on sales.”
Ask your customers what they would like even more
about your company/service/product?
Steal ideas from different companies/industries and
apply them to your own.
Capture Opportunity To
Bring Value

5-Star Customer Service 06-2014

  • 1. “5 Star Customer Service” June 12th, 2014
  • 3.
  • 5. Fast = Revenue » Quotes » Bids » Answer Questions & Turn Them Into Sales » Ask Their Expectations. » Fast <> Poor » Fast <> Incomplete
  • 6. Fast = Revenue » Track how long it takes to get an answer. » Eliminate Road Blocks and People. » Streamline processes. » Create check points. » Give partial answers and updates. » Don’t cause unnecessary road blocks yourself.
  • 7. How Do You Interact With Customers? 1. Face to Face 2. Phone 3. Email 4. Combo of all three 5. Combo of phone and email 6. Combo of face to face and phone
  • 8. Your Clients? 1. Business to Business 2. Business to Consumer 3. Combo
  • 11.
  • 12. IGNORE OR RESPOND? What do you think?
  • 13.
  • 14.
  • 15. “I am sorry you had a bad experience. As you can see from other reviews we do much better 99% of the time. The next time you stop in, ask for the manager. Mention this post and we will have something special for you.” Does this encourage more negative responses?
  • 16. “I am sorry you had a bad experience. 99% of our customers have a good experience. I will send you a private message and make it right for you.” Does this encourage more negative responses?
  • 19. Clean Language A simple principle: If I use the same words as you, then we have a greater possibility of creating a rapid rapport based on mutual language use. » Customer calls it: medical bill, don’t say statement » Customer calls it: turned off, don’t say power cycle » Customer calls it: balance, don’t say reconcile
  • 21. “I am sorry, but that is against our policy.”
  • 22. “Our Policy” » Try to avoid the words “our policy” and “procedure”. » Most policies are required because of laws that require them. » Most policies do benefit your customers in some way; maybe not directly, but as a whole. » When you have to say: “our policy” or “our procedure”, see if you can change it to show their benefit or at least that they are not alone in the situation.
  • 23. Example “I know this sale item is only 2 per customer, but may I have 3?” No, that is against our policy. (stop) Answer Fire Back: “I know this sale item is only 2 per customer, but may I have 3?” No, that is against our policy. Would you be paying with cash, check or credit card?
  • 24. Example Answer Fire Back: “I know this sale item is only 2 per customer, but may I have 3?” We have so many great customers like you and we want to make sure that they all can take advantage of the sale so everybody is happy. I am sure you understand! Never said NO. Turn them into loyal buyers and be assumptive in closing the conversation.
  • 25. Even Better Example “I know this sale item is only 2 per customer, but may I have 3?” I know you are a great customer. I am going to bend the rules a bit for you! But you have to promise to be a customer for life!  Do we have a deal?
  • 26. Policy | Policy | Policy » Know Why (KW?) you have the policy. » Re-Evaluate the policy. » Make sure your competitors have a similar policy. » Know a “quick story” about the policy. » Know how to “bend” a policy for good customers. » Give co-workers the understanding of when to “bend” a policy and how to do it.
  • 27. Look Me In The Eye!
  • 29. Directions To: » Nearest Gas Station » Park » Event (Fair, Festival) » Hospital » Theater » Think: out of town people/visitors » Why not have it printed off!
  • 31. Not OUR Fault Still Our PROBLEM!
  • 32. Not Your Fault, Still Our Problem 1. Look up phone numbers for people. 2. Find other companies that can help them. 3. Be a connector. 4. Creative Solutions. 5. Brain Storm. 6. Turn problems into loyal customers who then tell the story over and over.
  • 34. Voice Mails & Emails Business to Business ABC Supply calling Mary at XYZ Company: “Hi Mary. Sorry I missed you. This is Mark from ABC Supply. Call me.”
  • 35. Voice Mails & Emails Business to Business “Hi Mary. Sorry I missed you. This is Mark from ABC Supply. Your account number I am calling about is 154984 for the Barnsom Job. I would like some more information on line item 24 regarding the specs of your quote. I need to know the capacity.

I need this information by Friday at the latest.”
  • 36. Voice Mails & Emails Business to Business “Hi Mary. Sorry I missed you. This is Mark from ABC Supply. Your account number I am calling about is 154984 for the Barnsom Job. I would like some more information on line item 24 regarding the specs of your quote. I need to know the capacity.

I need this information by Friday at the latest.”
  • 37. Voice Mails & Emails Give people what they need to get the job done! The cost of phone tag and email tag is HUGE!
  • 39. Email Attachments What are they going to do with your attachment? MM-DD-YYYY_Americollect_ABC_Clinic_History.xlsx
  • 40. Organizing Meetings With Three or More Via Outlook
  • 41. Suggestion Times: Please Reply All with the number of the time that does not work for you. 1. Monday, June 16th 3:00 - 4:00 PM CST 2. Tuesday, June 17th, 10:00 -11:00 AM CST 3. Wednesday, June 18th, 9:30 - 10:30 AM CST

  • 43. Be Fun! Even in Emails!
  • 45.
  • 49. Building Rapport Simple Definition: Getting somebody to like you quickly. Create a sympathetic relationship or understanding. Rapport building time starts as soon as you say hello with a smile.
