Effective Customer Handling

Customer support is all about building a strong business relationship with your customer. This is basic for every business. The existence of business could be analyzed with the customer support they offer. Not only the quality of product counts but also the good customer service gains more value. There is of no use if you provide high quality products and you never bother to offer good customer support. No business can provide 100% accuracy and quality but they can provide 100% customer satisfaction with their professional customer care. It makes the customer to accept the product or service even if it has 98% quality. Hence, customer support is mandatory for any business. Let us discuss about the culture of professional customer service in this article.

 

1. Management has to get involved in identifying the quality of the services that company provides and the feedback from the customer. The information should be easily understandable for everyone no matter what their level. The essence of the customer requirements should be poured on the entire organization. Then, the staffs would be able to strive hard to meet the customer possible expectations with the possible resources.

 

2. Create professional system of behavior that the employees need to follow and deliver to the clients as well as with the co workers.

 

3. Change the perspective. Customer support is not only helpful for the customers but also helpful to the world. If you are producing a wonderful product that makes life easier for everyone, your good customer support will bring in more people to avail your service and products. This would be really helpful for the world. Customer service is growing and it is important for every businesses. Small business also can utilize the benefits of customer support outsourcing. Here you need to recruit a company instead of recruiting one or two staffs to take care of your customers. It is much cheaper.

 

4. When you are dealing with the customers of other nation and country, you need to have the knowledge of their culture. Culture barriers create most of the problem. This is one of the reasons for the client cancellation in BPO companies. For ex: Client wants the assistant to be friendlier and ping him often asking about his well being. Assistants might not have used to that culture or situation. Hence, it is become difficult and finally they lost their client. While interacting with the client, you should keep in mind that each client is valuable.

 

5. The employees should be given a proper culture training of the other country with respect to the project they are going to handle. For ex: The UK culture differs from the culture of USA. You can be up to the point when you deal with the UK client as they needs their reports on time and they are straight forward. But when you handle the client based in USA, you need to have a personal touch on your call and email. This would build a strong business relationship. Most of the clients based in the USA are very casual and they would expect their assistants also to be casual.

 

6. Customer support starts internally. Train your employees to be friendly and entertain the smooth relationship among your employee. This would make them to express the same attitude on their customer as well.

 

 7. Never allow your customer support executive to say "NO" to your customer (Even if the real answer is NO). Let them not tell "I am sorry, I cannot do this as per our company policy". Instead they can say that they could try all the way possible to resolve it.

 

8. You can get rid of the employees who are not willing to please the customers. If any employees are not suitable for customer support or they do not want serve the customer, you can document their behavior and switch them to some other department where there is no customer interaction.

 

Customer support culture is really important to form an ever green business relationship with your customer. All the research and study says that customer centric organizations are surviving for years and years to come.
