We celebrated customer service week by acknowledging the many customer service golden rules.

Monday is busy for all of us, but this is the best time to set the tone with customer service excellence. Regardless of industry or sector or B2B of B2C, set the tone with Golden Rule #1 - Responsiveness. When we respond to as quickly as possible, we send the message that we care. Acknowledging with a solution, information or something that you are looking into it, lets your customers and clients know that you hear them and want to help.

Tuesday - Golden Rule #2 – Value your external and internal customers. Treat customers and clients the way you want to be treated – with respect and compassion. Place yourself in their shoes and understand and empathize where they are coming from. Always be polite and professional in your interactions. Remember reciprocity - helping the today will help you tomorrow.

Wednesday - Take the time to listen to your customers to better serve them is about Golden Rule #3 – practice active listening. Active listening means that we try to understand things from the speaker’s point of view. When we decide to listen for total meaning, we listen for the content of what is being said as well as the attitude behind what is being said.

Thursday - Golden Rule #4 – Embrace feedback. The largest and most successful organizations have one thing in common – they are open to feedback. Collecting customer feedback helps you improve products and services, allows you to make better business decisions and connects better with your customers.

Friday – When we regularly provide excellent customer service and experiences every day and every week – we are living Golden Rule #5 – Consistency. Consistency builds trust and trust is the backbone of customer service excellence.

Customer Service Week ended October 7th, but customer service and experience excellence is every day.
