Managing customer expectations is important, exceeding them is critical. Many customers only experience a brand when they interact with a contact centre agent.  A bad experience can cause a life long pain.....

Nice Joginder ji, really great! Dear Sandeep Bhatia Ji, Its reay true but you know how much consumer you have in Indian Market sometime it take time to execute in some reason! As in Udisa, Aasam and Zharkhand are the regions where we can't expect the services we are getting anywhere else! it takes time to execute!

Best way to satisfy the customer. Still most of the customer were not satisfies by the services, as those services are not delivered properly.

Advertisings, Brand Promotions, Ambassadors, discounts & many more secondary things which just motivate to purchase a product are the old fashioned aspects to make customers. Retaining customers is the main objectives of the marketers.

Two Way Communications Techniques have long lasting effect on consumer minds. Product & After sales are must for any Brand. And in service sector, Customer Delights can create wonders.

Run a transparent business

idea posted by Purvi Ghosh Marketing analyst, Percept Advertising

Businesses should be as open and transparent as possible in their dealings with customers and employees alike. Openness in business and transparency builds the trust of customers, and most experts agree that customer trust has a significant impact on the customer experience. The more open-minded, inclusive and transparent a company can be the better.

transparent & mutual sharing of informations on time

Transparency develops trust and confidence. Tendency to shy away from an unpleasant situation is what holds business back from being open if they err or default. It is however difficult to have this inculcated in an Organization considering the multiple interfaces with diverse values and traits dealing with customers. An individual cannot learn to be transparent in his later part of life. This is a trait developed during the earlier phases of his life!

customer delight

idea posted by Rashmi Sharma CEO/MD/Director, AQumen- Empowered Solutions: Human Resources (HR) Consulting
just go one step more than is expected and see the difference. Just give a little bit MORE it could be in the form of a follow up after sales, information regarding some salient features of the product, a delivery an address to some related service provider anything ...just a bit MORE than what your duty calls for

I will take your idea, Rashmi and put the 'MORE' and the 'one step' before the customer expects it. In fact, if you look closely at 'care' processes in large organizations, you'll find that almost all of them have a strong organization-wide belief in 'customer delight' and have cultivated the Give-More-To-Your-Job attitude in most of their 'interacting' employees. Results however are not commensurate with the effort that goes into building Voice Of The Customer (VOC) or loyalty programs. The idea is to do everything these businesses are doing BEFORE the customer voices the need for it.

Personnel touch must

idea posted by Jal Naol Singh Reporter, Dainik Jagran Cityplus - Navi Mumbai
Human being is a social animal and always tries to fit herself/himself at a place where she/he can receive more personalize attention. So even if the product is not upto the mark or if the cost is too high. If at any end we are able to create that personnel touch the customer will always be with us.

If in case the person dealing with the customer strikes some kind of rapport and strong bonding / relationship than customers will have a reasonable expectations and than prompt after sales service and transparent dealing would do the rest.

Let your customers know that you did what they wanted...

idea posted by Jagdeep Kaur (vp@hrglobeconsulting.com) Vice President, HR Globe Consulting
No match to APPLE.The company is best in enriching the customer experience.it has set exceptionally brilliant benchmarks in the industry in terms of customer satisfaction.We just need to imbibe the discipline and simple approaches this company uses to reach to the hearts of its customers.A very simple example is the launch of ipad2 that APPLE came up with.It incorporated all design changes that its customers wanted which they gathered through customer feedback after launch of iPad 1.exactly one year later they brought live the changes in iPad 2 and voiced clearly to its customers that we have done what you wanted. So here starts the brand loyalty and customer satisfaction.I think we all get the idea, what needs to done.

understand the business by seeing what kind of customers involved & do beyond their expectation

idea posted by s.prem shanker MBA/PGDM student, People's Education Society Institute Of Technology (PESIT), Bangalore
for example 1.)financial institutions here we can see the level of transperency which is theme to earn the customer confidence.If u see Indians they are concern with the security and good interest returns for the money they have deposited. 2.)for retailing sector Provide quality product service to the customer for what they have come for. this can be better done by "MYSTERY SHOPPING" which is a successful research method which is still not conducted effectively in india which is still unexplored market sector of about 94%. like this we have to "understand the customer's expectation through consumer behavior".

Revert each and every query of Customer & Understand the demand of Customer

idea posted by Ritu Arora Asst. General Manager, Business Development & Marketing
Just revert each and every query of customer whether it is positive or negative. Never save yourself from negative queries. Just explain yourself and try to satisfy customer. Another thing understand the demand of customer. Try to findout what exactly customer expect from us then judge whether it is right or wrong then go ahead.

Love your job

idea posted by Farthaze Looking for an openings anywhere.HR Assistant Manager, Tata Teleservices Limited
It is well said by Mr.Parag Kumar & Mr.Prassan Kumar Sharma, As a professional we must strongly accept that our job is to provide a good service to our customers,we must create a scenario where customer come forward to speak to you for the reason. Cordial relationship thought has to be strongly build in our mind which makes wonder automatically.We must love our job first to do wonders and grow.If you do not like your job or hestitate or lazy than it is very tough to create a longterm customer. I like to add this proverb " Arguments may win the situation but lose the heart", so we must deal a customer in such a way that he can think about our services any point of time, it is not selling / serving a product / services onetime and over. Thanks for this titled post which makes me to add the post. Seniors if i misunderstood the case, kindly excuse and and suggest. Cheers Farthaze.S

We need to ensure the contact agent listens to the customer and is courteous while speaking and over and above should talk to the customer and not treat him like a machine with just question and answers

Absolutely correct. One needs to find out what makes the customer satisfied customer needs and requirement may vary. Listening to the customer will help provide better customer experience and also in bringing improvements in product and services.

understand the customers perspective

idea posted by SARVESH DUBEY BDM, SCI SECURITIES SERVICES PVT. LTD
Try to understand what customer wants? and how much the product is relevant to his/her requirements. Alteration in the packaging of the product at regular intervals and giving a value addition to the customer in terms of timely home delivery, after sales service, giving coupons or announcing the best customer of the year award, etc. This not only promotes product but also customer loyalty will be maintained.

Predict behavior and proact

idea posted by Partha Biswal Senior Specialist, Online Marketing, Content and Social Media

"How may I help you today?" This question following a 15-minute hold on the phone and punching several keys on the dial-pad to authenticate oneself as a customer in the hope of getting a quick resolution, doesn't really do much for 'experience'.

Come to think about it, the only thing a customer wants is a quick resolution and a courteous agent to speak to. Most times, we don't even need an agent to speak to. We look for information that can help us with our issue and if that information is found without asking anyone for help, great!

Wouldn't it be nice if businesses used the data they have on us together with our behavior online or on the phone and our history with the company to be able to predict what we want and offer that information much before we have voiced the need? How about "Are you looking for help with the microwave that you bought last month?" or "Is your visit today about the extra Rs. 100 that you have been charged on your bill this month?" on a proactive chat window when you are online or on the IVR ? Hit "Yes" or a number on the dial-pad and you are instantly connected to someone who doesn't waste time asking for information that you have already given (by way of authentication) but gets down to the issue at hand and gets you off the web or the phone within a minute. That'd be nice, wouldn't it?

Prediction is the key. Even Google's doing it now and it only seems logical that customer service evolve and combine social media and predictive technologies with traditional methods to deliver a seamless and happy experience for customers all the time. My company's are already doing it in the US and the UK and going by reports, customers couldn't be happier. Here's hoping that businesses in India emulate their playmates abroad soon.
