Summary:
One of the most common grievances customers have about businesses, whether large or small, is poor customer service.
We've all experienced the frustration of being kept on hold, just seeking basic information or waiting for someone who can address our questions. Not too long ago, I contacted the U.S. Postal Service to inquire about sending a package to the U.K. Surprisingly, I was met with a voicemail instructing me to leave my name and number for a callback.
I was stunned! How could a massive organization like the U.S. Postal Service not have enough staff to answer calls on a normal working day?
A few weeks before that, I ordered some information from a small mail-order company. Despite paying with cash to avoid delays, it took three weeks to receive my order, which turned out to be a mere three pages. This, to me, epitomizes poor customer service.
What's the Issue?
Why do so many companies seem clueless about serving their customers effectively? Why do large businesses make customers jump through hoops to use their services? Some companies may believe they’re too big to fail, thinking customers have no choice but to deal with them. However, poor customer service is detrimental to any business.
I could share endless stories of bad customer service, and I'm sure you could too. The bottom line is that when we part with our money, we expect our business to be valued. Usually, if we encounter poor service, we simply take our business elsewhere.
Deliver the Service Your Customers Deserve
As a small business owner, it’s crucial to do everything possible to gain a competitive edge and build customer loyalty.
Providing "red carpet" service will help establish a lasting, profitable relationship with your customers. Superior customer service can be the deciding factor between success and failure.
This effort should begin the moment a potential customer reaches out for more information about your product or service. Ensure they receive this information promptly.
Your sales message should be professional and truthful. Avoid making unrealistic claims, and be clear about what your product, service, or program offers. It’s vital to fulfill every promise made to your customers.
Forming a Lasting Relationship After the First Sale
For home-based mail order businesses, when someone sends you money, they're showing trust in you. Acknowledge their trust with prompt, efficient service, and aim to exceed their expectations.
Maintain communication with your customers. Provide phone, email, or fax contact options, and keep in touch by surprising them with small gifts, like a wallet-sized calendar with your business name, or special offers. Make your customers feel special and let them know you value their business.
