[DX-NEWS] how to do good cust. service

2007-10-25 Thread Charles Harpole

How to do good customer service,  GCS 101:

-sympathize, especially if the customer appears reasonable.
-offer immediate help and offer long term contact.
--get the full details of the problem.
-answer FULLY or promise fast get back to u.
-look for openings to encourage the customer to continue to purchase ur 
product line... like I love ur product, but right now I have a problem...
-and most of all, if u are in the niche product business like ham radio 
with a knowledgable customer base realize the implications of that and 
act on it.  Ham radios have long lives;  it is great that Mr. Mfg. builds 
them to last;  it is great that a ham will love a radio enuf to keep it for 
40 yrs--AND WE WILL-- and then Mr. Mfg. recognize u r in this unique 
business of ham radio with these characteristics and either live happily 
with that fact or change ur target market.


Remember that the appearance of willingness to help,at first, is as 
important as the help that is then offered.  Or, read some books on the 
topic of GCS 101.

Charles is right. The practice served me well for 35 years in the 
service business.
I disarmed lots of customers just by listening to them and provide 
assurance of a solution to the problem..
