10 tips to deliver a great customer service

1) Know the product

  • People who work in customer service are those people who should know about their product.
  • Once you know your product, only then you can help the customers by implying the perfect service skills.
  • If you do not know the product, how can you expect customers to be satisfied with your service?

2) Maintain a positive attitude

  • Ever heard of ‘customer is always right?’ Well, not really. Sometimes, customers can be wrong.
  • Nevertheless, that does not mean you can do your work half-heartedly.
  • The right attitude from you may change the attitude of the customers.
  • Use well-behaved sentences, and speak nicely.

3) Be a problem-solver

  • There is always a solution to every problem.
  • The only way to find a solution is to think.
  • Thus, use your creativity to solve the customers’ problems until they are satisfied.

4) Respond quickly

  • Sometimes, when customers contact customer service by phone, they will take a long time to pick up.
  • It is even worse in emails.
  • Therefore, to not let your customers lose their belief in your product, you should act as if you care.
  • Do not waste their time.

5) Personalize your service

  • Customers want to interact with a person, and not a robot.
  • Change the way you work with customers.
  • Sometimes, customers are angry because customer service just agrees with their problems, but does not do anything about them.

6) Help customers help themselves

  • Customers do not need you to solve the problems all alone.
  • They just need a guide from you to help them help themselves.
  • You are the guide. Therefore, it is your job to help them one by one.

7) Focus support on the customers

  • It is time for you to get to know your customers.
  • Treat them as a person, so that they can be loyal to your product.

8) Listen

  • Listen to your customers’ problems,
  • Do not assume anything, and do not cut them off while they are talking.
  • If you are unsure if you understand the problems, use, “Do you mean…,” “I want to make sure if I get this right…”

9) Keep your word

  • Once you have promised them something, you better make sure you will grant it.
  • Do not let their hopes high, and let them down.

10) Be helpful

  • Customers will know if you are sincere in helping them.
  • Thus, if you are, they will keep coming back to you.
