Customer Service Revolution 111: Creating a Customer Service Revolution
Creating a customer service revolution doesn't have to be complicated. It's actually pretty simple. It requires effort and a willingness to view your company and employees from the customer's perspective.
The number-one thing to remember about customer service excellence is that you're in the customer perception business. It doesn't matter what you think about your customer service policies and procedures if the customers aren't in agreement. Why do so many of us overrate the experiences we provide?
In this episode of The Customer Service Revolution podcast, you'll hear John DiJulius, Chief Revolution Officer of The DiJulius Group, present a keynote at the Customer Service Revolution Conference in Cleveland on Nov 7th, 2022. The presentation was based on John's bestselling, ground-breaking book, The Customer Service Revolution.
John explains why you have to understand that price, convenience, and other factors are irrelevant because they want the experience you offer. He also breaks down the three pillars of the customer experience action statement, what it means to be a duck during customer interactions, and why a smile should be part of the uniform.
