As someone that deals with customers for my business I understand the
importance of good customer service and also quick responses. If you are dealing with customers via the web
you need to try and ensure that you can provide a fairly quick response
time. The better experience someone has
with you the move changes you have of getting a repeat customer.
Recently I had an experience with one business where I started to talk
with them about a purchase and everything seemed to be doing well until all of
a sudden the communication stopped and even after sending additional emails and
a phone call I got no response. As this
was a purchase that I wanted to get completed I decided to try another contact
with a competing business. Well, the
good news is the communication with the second business was wonderful and
within a few hours I had all the information I required and I also had made the
purchase. Getting a quick response made
me feel that I was valued by them and that they were available to assist me.
Customer service is a way to make or break a business and understanding how keeping customers happy is very important.
It ends up through this experience that I will be trying to make more purchases
through the second contact as they have been available to assist quickly. I understand that everyone is busy trying to
make sales and help everyone but if it takes you three days and I still haven’t
got a reply I think that shows me know that I might need to check another spot
for the purchase. If you are away and
are unable to reply to a person it is a good idea to ensure that you have your
out of office notification on.
Customer service from a single-person shop to a major retailer has to
understand that one bad experience can affect recommendations to others. If you are looking for a successful business
know that assisting your customers or even future customers can help or hinder
your overall success.
