Customer Service
Always Go the Extra Mile
Customers reward companies that are seen to go the extra mile—even if they don’t personally benefit from that effort. In fact, customers are willing to pay more for a product, frequent one store rather than another, and, in general, have a more positive impression of a company or brand that is perceived to put in more effort.
An Opportunity to Walk in the Customer Support Center’s Shoes

How to Instill Great Customer Service Habits in Your Staff
Customer satisfaction starts with your staff. These are the people who interact with your customers on a daily basis and are directly responsible for keeping your loyal customers, well, loyal.
Making the Customer Feel Special
Aside from being excellent at the technical aspect of what we do (without that, the rest simply won’t matter), to the degree that we provide our customers with the kind of exceptional experience that makes them feel good about themselves, that’s the degree to which we will be untouchable in the marketplace.
