The goal is to learn what works well in order to replicate it, and what does not work well in order to prevent the situation from occurring again.
Here are six things to do to keep the learning going each and every day.
Make note of service issues throughout the day- By having your staff note different situations, everyone will be aware of the challenges that are faced throughout your company. Everyone will be able to offer feedback or suggestions.
Review what went well- Point out the situations that went well and satisfied the customer. Ask what it was about those situations that provided a positive outcome. What factors determined the outcome? Was it the staff person, the customer, personalities involved, specific problem solving skills, language used?
Review poor outcomes- There will always be times when a situation falls short of our desired outcomes. Consider what could have been handled differently. Could there have been a challenge with communicating with the customer? Was it strictly a product issue?
How can you integrate these lessons into other areas- All situations, both positive and negative, provide learning opportunities. The gift is being able to carry these learnings into other situations. For the positive outcomes, what effective strategies can be used in other areas? In the negative situations, can the same situation be prevented from happening again? If not, why not? If it cannot be changed, predetermine the options that can be provided for the next occurrence.
Recognize those team members that consistently handle customer service issues well- The team members that consistently deliver excellent customer service need to be recognized. Customer service and customer satisfaction are goals that everyone in your organization should strive for. Those that have shown strong abilities in this area should feel proud of the fact that they are key in providing a positive corporate image in the customer's mind.
Have those team members serve as mentors They can teach their success strategies and techniques with others in the company in order to deliver excellent customer service - company wide. Their strategies and techniques will then become part of your corporate DNA and core values. When consistent customer service is delivered, the trust and customer satisfaction levels in your customers will increase.
By consistently reviewing the the techniques and strategies that can improve customer service and increase customer satisfaction, your staff will start to grow in their thinking and abilities on how to be customer centric.
Once that is accomplished and consistently delivered, your customers will thank you for it.
