At Shoppers, Inc. we are very passionate about great customer service, measurement and teamwork. The article below from Mark Sanborn about Customer Service Enemy #1 relates to our goals and passions. Hope you enjoy it!
Recently my friend Chris, a successful business owner, sent me this story:
“Vicki and I celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary in November. I decided to buy her a new wedding ring. I spent a fair amount more on the new ring than I did for her old one.
When I went to pick the ring up the gal showed it to me, rang up the sale, handed me a bag, never looked me in the eye much less say thank you!
If it hadn’t been a custom ordered ring I think I might have told her ” no thanks” and gone somewhere else to shop.
Thank you is so easy, yet, it’s not as widely used as it should be.”
When a customer does business with you, they expect to be acknowledged. A simple but sincere thank you is a start. In the case of Chris, who I know invested significantly in a special ring, the attention and gratitude should be commensurate.
Indifference is customer service enemy #1. Chris is right: thank you is so easy. But apparently so is indifference.
If you are truly committed to customer service, the choice is easy.
