Customer service is an integral part of our job and should not be seen as an extension of it. A company’s most vital asset is its customers. Without them, we would not and could not exist in business. When you satisfy our customers, they not only help us grow by continuing to do business with you, but recommend you to friends and associates.

So, how to work on it????

Be a good listener

idea posted by Meena Deshmukh Product/Brand Manager, Videocon Inds

Take the time to identify customer needs by asking questions and concentrating on what the customer is really saying. Listen to their words, tone of voice, body language, and most importantly, how they feel. Beware of making assumptions - thinking you intuitively know what the customer wants.

very patiently listen and provide which one needs

Add your argument:

Know who is boss

idea posted by Purvi Ghosh Marketing analyst, Percept Advertising

You are right Meena...you need to be good listener to serve your customers better.

You are in business to service customer needs, and you can only do that if you know what it is your customers want. When you truly listen to your customers, they let you know what they want and how you can provide good service. Never forget that the customer pays our salary and makes your job possible.

"SERVICE" is the key word, how do you see your business, do you see it as a service or do you just see your profits . Which is your priority, what is the value you can provide for the client? Can you make an impression by adding value to your client??? Fundamentally you need to understand the real meaning of the word business.

Educate customers take care of customer grievance

idea posted by Joydeep Dasgupta Business Development, New Horizon

Thank You meena,

Indian customers seldom provide feedback, we have not learnt to appreciate or thank others,  taken for granted environment exist, somehow making money,  to do so “yes sir”, “yes sir”, “no sir”, “no sir”, “thankyou thankyou exist”.

Educate your customers what to expect through marketing hype, Taking care of grievance, isn’t easy do it. Need to have a proper PR.

Applying the concept of Reverse Marketing

idea posted by Hina Raj Associate Consultant - Market Lead , Purple Leap

I can certainly say this because in my previous job work I applied this concept  to increase the sales of one our products. To provide better cusotmer service firstly its very important to figure out the needs & wants of customer. And specially there are certain kinds of customers who demand the product or service as they want , neglecting the marketers say .. so particulary for this category Reverse Marketing helps in improving customer service.

Have at least 40percent Knowledge of the Product or Service that one is selling

idea posted by Dinesh J Mangal Franchisee, Vodafone
Most of the Service Providers or Product Sellers do not have the Knowledge of the Product that they are Selling and therefore cannot Understand ' what the User Wants'?. As the Users are buying products and services on Price alone, anyone who offers a Better Price can sell. Users or Consumers, therefore buy from people who are box sellers, and cannot educate the Customers on the do's and don's of the products and services. The consumer ends up just utilising 1 or 2 percent of the features, akin to the use of the human brain

Create a feed back ticket at the bottom of bill of product

idea posted by Mohammad Bakhsh Consultant(Civil), Rail Vikas Nigam Limited

Thanks,Meena for referral and touching a very sensitive subject.i strongly feel that feed back from the consumer is vital in improving services and also the product. i have nowhere seen sincere effort ever made by stake holders what is going in the mind of the actual user.i therefore thing that creating a ticket at the bottom of the bill will encourage the consumer to suggest ways and means a to improve the services.

Just be sincere

idea posted by Sridhar Bhaskarla Bhaskarla CEO, MetaSparc

Just be sincere and true to your heart. Love your customer and his/her needs. Never try the over-cooked techniques of business such as unnecessary obedience, 'customer is king' attitude etc., Be punctual. Deliver what is promised and go extra mile.

How?. - Just do the role play of the customer yourself.

Shyam, I support your thought and would like to re-emphasize on the importance on Customer Centreic Approach. The "moments of truth" in service industry is as sensitive and a great learning experience as bringing up your own child. Its then, that we understand the critical behaviour and essential ingredients of a good taste and relationship with sutomers and its well being.

Customer complaint registration.

idea posted by KALIYAMOORTHY Oil & Gas Area Coordinator, Undisclosed

Provide a flexible & easily accessible infrastructures to make use of the customer compliant registration. It should not take much of customer time & drive him to run around from post to pillars. Registration process may be in person or on-line. But, the method needs to be effective & responsive to customers.

Tele-customer care needs to offer very accurate information if accessed by the customer. Means to say that to be handled, all the time, by trained personnel.
