  22. A customer cheerleader is someone who goes out of their way to say good things about your company. • Customer eyeglasses …ask yourself how the customer would view this. • Moments of truth can occur anytime that someone comes in contact with you or your company and forms and opinion either consciously, or subconsciously.

  23. VAS = 3 A’s Attitude * Upbeat * Positive Appearance * Clean * Uniforms Actions * Smile!

  24. Service circles • EACH individual activity in the company in which the customers experience is managed. • Service Systems • A system that connects each service circle and creates a seamless handoff between each circle. Handoffs – The system for handing off a customer from one circle to another.

  25. What about Internal and External companies? • Internal – for the company, employee’s and/or the owner • External – we organize our systems and procedures around the customer • We have active systems and procedures designed to help the customer through our processes as effortlessly as possible • When in doubt… ask this question… • What do we need to do to exceed their expectations?

  26. TRANSFORMATIONAL CONCEPTS SUMMARY • Transformational concept #1 - A cheerleader is created when you dramatically exceed their baseline expectations. • Transformational concept #2 - Create a cheerleader and everything else takes care of itself! • Transformational concept #3 - A Moment of truth is anytime that a customer comes into contact with our company and forms an opinion, either consciously or unconsciously.

  27. Transformational concept #4 - 80/20 Rule – Over eighty percent of how a person judges the quality of the service that they receive is based on the person doing the work. Twenty percent is based on the work that is completed. • Transformational concept #5 - Moments of truth are cumulative. You have a bank account of moments of truth. You will have unexpected withdrawals. It takes twelve positive moments of truth to counter each negative moment of truth! • Transformational concept #6 – We will be recognized for our service delivery when we start to perfect the delivery of the benefits of our service rather than on delivering a restored home!

  28. Five (5) steps to V.A.S. • Make is easier for employee’s to “do it right” rather than wrong. • Attract, select, hire and KEEP only the VERY BEST quality individuals. • Tell your employee’s what your expectations are and… train them on how to do their job. • Let your workers know how they are doing on a regular and formal basis. • IF an employee stubbornly refuses to “play nice in the sand-box”, de-hire them.

  29. Create Cultural buy-in: • RESPECT • Become leaders • Be servants to YOUR personnel • Buy in from your people • Measure your people • If there is an issue, accept responsibility, resolve the issue and MOVE ON! • How can YOU help your people reach THEIR GOALS? • Set your goals • Don’t forget to say GOOD JOB!
