Customer Services Is changing dramatically
Customer Service is an integral part to business success.
The importance of customer service is often overlooked. I’m talking about relentless customer experience. In fact, I would suggest that customer obsession is what most business leaders need to achieve. We know that customer service is important, and once there is more than a few customers it can be overlooked. Often you find that when they come back regularly customer service can become something that business managers take for granted.
Customer service is about living in the customer shoes and understanding what it is like to be a customer. Also it is about knowing what job it is that you are being hired to do. Never taking customers for granted. I this range of blogs I talk about how customer service has evolved with time. And the new world of customer obsession. Every day ask yourself if this was your only customer how would you treat them?
