WHAT IS CUSTOMER
SERVICE?
![Page 9: Customer service manifesto](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/55669441d8b42a78708b4cce/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It is the provision of service to customer – before, during and after a purchase. Source: Wikipedia
This sounds like a process that has a beginning, middle and end.
But it couldn’t be more different – it doesn’t need to have an end.
If you provide great service, the customer will come back over and over and over again.
![Page 10: Customer service manifesto](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052901/55669441d8b42a78708b4cce/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
And it all comes back to people
Fundamentally it’s all about the people. It’s not really about customers and companies. It’s not even customers and employees. It’s just people and people. Human relationships. People arrive with needs and people provide services to fulfill those needs.

People,
people,

Our customer service can change lives.Our customer service is so consistent it doesn’t matter who delivers it.
Our customer service leaves peopale wanting for more, addicted to the experience.
Our customer service is so amazing that people are drawn to it – like a moth to a flame.

IT’S TIME WE DELIVERED.
STAND UP.BE RESPONSIBLE.
Because without delivering great
customer service – where is the purpose in
our interactions?

DON’T accept BAD customer service
DON’T have low expectations because no one else is doing any better.
DON’T be lazy, close-minded, pig-headed and resistant to change.
DON’T be a bad listeners or bad learners.
Because while we deliver BAD customer service we miss the opportunity to listen to and retain our customers. Unhappy customers aren’t interested in becoming raving fans or promoters of our business.

When customers share their story and they’re not
happy with you - they’re not just sharing their pain.
Listening to customers is powerful. Responding to what customers say is dynamite. It’s really a human relationship, isn’t it.

THERE IS A CUSTOMER SERVICE REVOLUTION GAINING MOMENTUM.......
Smart businesses realise that the customer service bar is
set so low it won’t take much improvement to differentiate your company from the pack.
GREAT QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WAY TO DO IT.

Providing great customer service can help you:
• Become extraordinary
• Provide you with a competitive advantage
Being on par in terms of price only gets you into the game. How many features do your products and services have that
are truly different from your competition?
Customer experience may be the only point of difference!
...and it may be the ONLY competitive advantage you have.

Regardless of what you promise, it’s consistency that’s important.Customers allow themselves to be seduced into becoming raving fans only when they know they can count on you time and time again. Exceeding expectations is important but it’s even more important to consistently meet expectations.
Meet first. Exceed second.
To create loyal fans, don’t drive promises down.
