Lessen the fear
Take the opportunity to show your customers what you have been working on for the past year.
At the core
The words and actions of employees become part of “who” an organization is and what it stands for.
We’re listening
Flexibility and adaptability will be the two most useful skills for organizations heading into 2021. How adaptable are you?
You might want to think about that
Prove to your customers that you understand what they are going through. Don’t prove to them that you don’t.
Upfront or underhanded?
When it comes to pricing, don’t be shady. Be honest. Be upfront.
Transparency
Transparency is not overrated. Customers want to know how they will be affected and what you are doing about it.
Who has the power?
When a customer calls into a customer service center, they are only calling because they have a problem and need assistance in solving it. They aren’t calling to ruin a staff person’s day and they aren’t calling to be a pain in the neck. They are calling because they need help.
No soup for you
Don’t bother advertising an offer that no one qualifies for. If a customer doesn’t feel that you want their business, they will take it somewhere else.
How to ask
Otherwise, don’t waste their time.
Missed opportunities
Customer retention doesn’t just happen. It requires taking action to build relationships.
“I don’t have 20 minutes to talk to you”
If your organization takes over a year to solve a customer’s issue, the problem is not with the customer, the problem is how your organization is dealing with it.
Keep calm and carry on
Treat even your toughest customers with respect; assume they are doing the best they can in the moment.
For whose benefit?
By serving its customers and looking out for them, this organization is also benefiting. Win-win.
Open rate
Persuading customers to open emails can be tough.
Thank you
As customers, we want to know that our purchase was appreciated.
Dollar signs
A customer can sense from a mile away when you are more concerned with your own needs than with theirs.
Empathy. Is it really necessary?
It’s not about what you give out. It’s what the customer believes they are receiving.
Who is this?
There’s a lot going on lately and it’s almost too easy to make mistakes.
Don’t make things difficult
Never put your customers in the position of trying to figure out what is true. It isn’t their job.
Free advertising
So easy to do and pays off in the end.
