Top-Notch Customer Service: Three Important Factors

Provide an overview of the current customer service staff. Do you perceive a well-oiled machine that can keep the customers satisfied, or something else entirely?

Numerous hours have been spent by executives working alongside human resources specialists, salespeople, and customer support representatives. They have training programs for both frontline customer service employees and the managers and supervisors who oversee them, teaching the former the ins and outs of dealing with client complaints and the latter the basics of customer service.

After monitoring these employees in a variety of settings over the course of several years, we were able to narrow down the key ingredients for a winning customer service team to three main factors. These factors include:

• Intuitive and articulate

  In addition to external audiences like clients and higher management, internal ones are also important.

• Reliability

  Qualities such as trustworthiness, dependability, consistency, fairness, respect, and politeness.

• Ability to solve problems

  You need them for that purpose, right?

Do members of your current customer service staff possess these attributes and skills? How efficient are they in the workplace, and how well-mannered are they? If you have clients, how happy are they with working with you?
