the phone.4. Sincerely apologize when you’ve made a mistake.5. Avoid technical jargon and use words familiar to the Customer.6. Maintain eye contact and avoid doing things when talking with your
Customers.7. If you can’t help a Customer, try to find someone who can.8. Put myself in the Customer’s place and see things from their
perspective.9. Work hard to exceed Customer expectations.10.When it’s really busy and you’re feeling overwhelmed, tell yourself
that if it weren’t for the Customers, I wouldn’t have a job.
