At the end of the day, great sales and marketing really just comes down to understanding your customers. And if your competition is able to understand and delight customers better than you, guess who’s going to end up winning that customer’s business one day? OK. Enough about why you should be talking to talk to and delight customers. Here’s an infographic to show how to actually go out and do it.
Once you’ve started to support your customer, make sure to follow through, especially if the customer is frustrated. And in no case, make the situation worse, bypassing the customer on to colleagues, managers, etc. This frustrating game of pass-the-baton only serves to escalate the situation. The employees working on the support team should be empowered with the ability to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. They should be given several options of how they can resolve issues without having to get their manager involved. That way your company will not only delight customers but the empowerment will also delight your employees.
You should further use your existing loyalty tools to satisfy, even delight customers. Explain how their feedback will be used to improve the business.
