Customer Service Workshops - Seven Simple Rules

If your mission statement or vision of your new store is that you will provide legendary customer service, if you want to brand your store with excellence, then you will need to constantly ask yourself, and your staff: How can we service our customers and anticipate their needs?

Every decision that you make in your business, every day, must address the questions "Does this action make a difference to my customers? Will my customers be affected?"

Once you understand that customer service means that everything is about keeping your customer happy and serviced, then priorities become focused. Long-term customers mean profits to your store. Why? Because customer retention costs less than attaining or acquiring new customers.

Customer service doesn't just happen overnight or by wishing it. As a store owner, you will need to ensure that seven simple rules are in place.

Seven Simple Customer Service Rules:

1. Respect and consideration.

2. Honesty and trust.

3. Available product.

4. Fair price that reflects value.

5. Efficient sales transactions. (Speed is a bonus.)

6. Privacy and security (payment).

7. Knowledge/Information/Content. Knowledgeable staff.

When a retailer ensures that the seven simple customer service rules are followed as a top priority, customers will appreciate your store for its character and values:

  • Honesty
  • Trust
  • Credibility
  • Reliability
  • Fairness

Whether your store needs a facelift or a revised floor plan, or whether your store considers new policies or longer store hours, every decision or action will be rooted in the seven simple customer service rules. Store policies and store hours should reflect the customer's needs. Is it convenient for the customer? Does a revised floor plan assist the customer? Will wider aisles assist the customer? Will customers be able to access the merchandise?

When unsure or undecided, remember that all decisions are rooted in customer service rule number one: Respect and consideration.

Wouldn't you like to follow seven simple customer service rules to enhance your customer service? And brand your business as well? You will earn a reputation...as an honest, trustworthy, credible, reliable and fair business. And those are old-fashioned customer service values that never go out of style.
