Customer Service Training:
Improving Consistency in the Course of Customer Service

Consistency with customer service is what builds trust and wins customers. The customer service you provide should be consistent. Consistent delivery of quality gives credibility and perceived value to your offering. Customer service assures customers that they will receive the best of what they are paying for minus unforeseen negatives.

Three customer service strategies will help you deliver customer service consistently all the time, every time.

Your customer service goals and values should be the foundation of your decisions: The people who are inconsistent with their goals and values find it difficult to make correct decisions. This reflects in their personal and professional life which in turn affects their customer service too. The manner in which we make our decisions is as important as the decisions we make. Every decision has effects which reverberate into the future.

Consistency in results: Customers appreciate consistency especially when the service you are offering is highly priced. When the expected service is provided, your reputation builds. Surprise your customers, under-promise by saying less and over-deliver with good service. Make them feel appreciated, add a little extra in the form of a smile, thanks or an e-mail on festivals, anniversaries and birthdays - this all goes a long way. If you are into delivering services then program in some 'cushion' time for delivery, if your work begin and the delivery takes 10 days then add a few more days for unforeseen delays.

Keep your good behavior consistent: Our behavior speaks louder than our intentions. It is best to keep clam and approachable as people can sense the mood of others by their tone of voice and body language. As you are there to make a sale its best to remain settled and focuses on the goals you have set for yourself, this is called professionalism.

Good customer service stems from effective communications and creative thinking but lacks of hidden agendas. When the customers trust you, they are more likely to provide the correct information which allows the sales person to serve them better. Surveys have shown that when people travel they book with the same hotel - this is because they like consistency, they know what to expect at their price - luxury or economy.

Peoples trust comes from the assurance that they will be served what they desire. This creates the foundations for good relations and is the benchmark of customer service. Consistency and continual improvement are the keys to good customer service.
