Make sure you have everything in place to deliver what you promise:
1. For example, are the people who provide the service also answer customer calls? If not, are the people who answer the calls aware of what exactly you offer, of any current promotions, how they work etc; Are they aware of any latest changes that may affect how customers are serviced; Have easy access to service people to quickly answer any further questions?
A calm, confident person on the other end of the line is where trust factor starts to build up (or break down).
2. What about your suppliers and other co-workers? Make sure everyone is on the same page!
3. Never overpromise! Before you even answer customer enquiries, know what you will and what you wonât do for your clients! Both are important factors affecting your bottom line.
For example, unless you already have a solid relationship with someone you can outsource a certain part of your service, donât tell your customers you âcan do it tooâ!
If you overpromise and not quite get there with delivery, even if by a very small part, you will create an unnecessary negative impression and the word will spread much further than you think.
If you underpromise but deliver that tiny extra bit, tick another happy customer off your list.
Remember, making a sale is not the end, itâs just the beginning.
