PROVIDING QUALITY SERVICE Teri Ridler Hands On Leadership
The Customer Wheel • Know Your Products • Know Your Customer • What are Your Customers’ Expectations about Your Products
Your Products • Tangible Item • Intangible Service • Perception = 100% Reality Ripple Effect: 1 person tells 10 people about your product – those 10 people tell 6 people each – 60 people have now formed an opinion about your company’s product!
Brand Expectations: • Advertisements (words) • Media (pictures) • Word of Mouth (experiences) • Price (perceived value)
The Customer • Internal Customers: Inside your Company • External Customers: Outside your Company • What are their Expectations? People who’s expectations are not met, will tell 9 – 10 people! Misery loves company!
Influences: • Demographic background • Education • Financial Status • Family Size • Past Experiences • Other?
Expectations • Courteous Staff • Correct Information • Concern for the Individual
Quality Service • Acknowledge • Adapt • Assist
Acknowledge • Greet and Smile • Don’t take “People” out of the “Product”
Adapt • How can you turn an S.O.D. (source of distress) in to a S.O.S. (source of satisfaction)?
Assist • Fix problems promptly • Don’t “blame”, “explain” • Service is the one thing that places you above your competitors!
Remember: • The most important part of quality service is not only knowing what to do…but actually doing it!
