We’ve all been at the receiving end of poor customer service at some point in our lives. If you haven’t, you’re certainly one of the lucky ones!
Those who have, know just how frustrating it can be when you get the runaround or transferred from one person to another. Failing to help your customers or guiding them in the wrong direction is a big no-no! It throws out major red flags for incompetence and is simply, bad business.
There is a fine line between taking your time to respond to clients and responding too quickly. Quick responses may set unrealistic expectations and yet on the flip side, taking too long can mean you risk losing that client. Good customer service is about being prompt, comprehensive, client-focused, and streamlined. It’s about finding a perfect balance.
With the COVID-19 pandemic causing major disruption to our lives, for many, our working lives also took a hit. Those of us fortunate enough to go about our daily business, it meant flexible working policies became the new way of life, at least for the foreseeable future. With this came new challenges and priorities.
