I have a few things that drive me crazy in the business world. In this episode of The Intuitive Customer, we are going to talk about how organizations often define loyalty, and why I think they have it all wrong. It makes me upset when I think about it.

The first step to providing strong customer service is taken by ensuring that all employees within your company have an extensive knowledge of the inner and outer workings of your product or service. If the customer suspects that the person they’re talking too isn’t well-informed on their issue, they’ll quickly begin to lose trust in your company, which is something you want to avoid at all costs.

When you meet a customer’s expectations, you make them happy. That’s the basic concept behind customer satisfaction. Sometimes, however, the potential value of your product or service outstrips customer expectations. Though the customer may be content, you can find ways to exceed expectations, thereby providing a service that truly provides the value a customer needs. .

Every week I set aside three uninterrupted hours to work on me. In this “Strategic Block,” a term coined in the book “12 Week Year,” I don’t allow emails, calls, or meetings, and no regular business tasks. I focus solely on personal or professional development.

Their importance lies in their ability to reveal the customer experience of the product or service so you can add value to that experience and maximize the growth of both the customer and your own enterprise. That’s what customer success is: the use of close customer monitoring to connect the dots of customer data and turn the resulting insights into actions that deliver value. .

For support agents, ending the conversation with a customer can be a mixed bag. With some customers, the conversation just flows naturally, and a clear end happens organically. Other times, acquiring and sharing information can be a painful process. You’re never quite sure if the customer is ready to end the conversation and you’re saying too much, or if you haven’t said enough and the customer will be unhappy.

Customers expect to be able to interact with your organization whenever and however they want. They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels.
