Chances are good your mission statement has something reflecting the importance of the customer. Does your business have a customer service culture or does it have a customer service department?
When you develop a culture of customer service instead of [only] a department you get employees who:
- are fast and effective at solving customer problems
- respond appropriately with courtesy and respect
- place value on the customer experience not on quick fixes
- recognize lifetime value and are devoted to maintaining relationships
- deliver customer experiences that compel customers to refer your business
- And so much more…
The customer experience begins within the culture of your organization. Teams that understand and value both internal and external customer service will always be more effective at demonstrating these values to the external customer. After all, when your employee teams focus on the customer experience there simply isn’t much room for drama, poor attitudes, or lackadaisical approaches to products, services, sales and support.
During this seminar participants will consider the aspects of creating a culture of customer service by examining foundational skills and how to apply them. There will be a specific emphasis on the concept of each individual improving their customer service skills and the workshop will close with an activity that reinforces the development of these skills as a cultural practice.
