Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business. You can offer promotions and slash prices to bring in as many new customers as you want, but unless you can get some of those customers to come back, your business wont be profitable for long. Good customer service is all about bringing customers back. And about sending them away happy happy enough to pass positive feedback about your business along to others, who may then try the product or service you offer for themselves and in their turn become repeat customers. If youre a good salesperson, you can sell anything to anyone once. But it will be your approach to customer service that determines whether or not youll ever be able to sell that person anything else. The essence of good customer service is forming a relationship with customers a relationship that that individual customer feels that he would like to pursue. How do you go about forming such a relationship? By remembering the one true secret of good customer service and acting accordingly; You will be judged by what you do, not what you say. I know this verges on the kind of statement thats often seen on a sampler, but providing good customer service IS a simple thing. If you truly want to have good customer service, all you have to do is ensure that your business consistently does these things: 1) Answer your phone. Get call forwarding. Or an answering service. Hire staff if you need to. But make sure that someone is picking up the phone when someone calls your business. (Notice I say someone. People who call want to talk to a live person, not a fake recorded robot.) For more on answering the phone, see Phone Answering Tips to Win Business. 2) Dont make promises unless you WILL keep them. Not plan to keep them. Will keep them. Reliability is one of the keys to any good relationship, and good customer service is no exception. If you say, Your new bedroom furniture will be delivered on Tuesday, make sure it is delivered on Tuesday. Otherwise, dont say it. The same rule applies to client appointments, deadlines, etc.. Think before you give any promise because nothing annoys customers more than a broken one. 3) Listen to your customers. Is there anything more exasperating than telling someone what you want or what your problem is and then discovering that that person hasnt been paying attention and needs to have it explained again? From a customers point of view, I doubt it. Can the sales pitches and the product babble. Let your customer talk and show him that you are listening by making the appropriate responses, such as suggesting how to solve the problem.

4) Deal with complaints. No one likes hearing complaints, and many of us have developed a reflex shrug, saying, You cant please all the people all the time. Maybe not, but if you give the complaint your attention, you may be able to please this one person this one time - and position your business to reap the benefits of good customer service. 5) Be helpful - even if theres no immediate profit in it. The other day I popped into a local watch shop because I had lost the small piece that clips the pieces of my watch band together. When I explained the problem, the proprietor said that he thought he might have one lying around. He found it, attached it to my watch band and charged me nothing! Where do you think Ill go when I need a new watch band or even a new watch? And how many people do you think Ive told this story to? 6) Train your staff (if you have any) to be ALWAYS helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. Do it yourself or hire someone to train them. Talk to them about good customer service and what it is (and isnt) regularly. Most importantly, give every member of your staff enough information and power to make those small customer-pleasing decisions, so he never has to say, I dont know, but so-and-so will be back at... 7) Take the extra step. For instance, if someone walks into your store and asks you to help them find something, dont just say, Its in Aisle 3. Lead the customer to the item. Better yet, wait and see if he has questions about it, or further needs. Whatever the extra step may be, if you want to provide good customer service, take it. They may not say so to you, but people notice when people make an extra effort and will tell other people. 8) Throw in something extra. Whether its a coupon for a future discount, additional information on how to use the product, or a genuine smile, people love to get more than they thought they were getting. And dont think that a gesture has to be large to be effective. The local art framer that we use attaches a package of picture hangers to every picture he frames. A small thing, but so appreciated. If you apply these eight simple rules consistently, your business will become known for its good customer service. And the best part? The irony of good customer service is that over time it will bring in more new customers than promotions and price slashing ever did!

Banker An individual who is engaged in the business of banking. Historically, but less so today, private persons or partnerships could carry on the business of a bank; mostly receiving monies on deposit, paying interest on those deposits, and extending loans of those monies to third-paryies at a higher rate of interest. In 1899, the United States Supreme Court (Austen) used these words: "A banker ... is a trader who buys money, or money and debts, by creating other debts, which he does with his credit - exchanging for a debt payable in the future one payable on demand. "The first business of a banker is not to lend money to others, but to collect money from others. "A banker (is) a dealer in capital, or, more properly, a dealer in money. He is an intermediate party between the borrower and the lender. He borrows of one party and lends to another."

The essence of excellent customer service is listening attentively, answering confidently and the ability of assuring your customers that they come absolutely first. I worked in the service industry for about four years and while the job demands the very best of your patience, what really made it all worth a while at the end of the day were the heartfelt thankyou's I got from my customers and ofcourse their appreciation. The difference between good customer service and excellent customer service lies in catching the pulse of your customer; understanding what your customer wants is vital. Once you have understood his or her needs or request then it all depends on how fast, how accurate and how simply you can comply with those demands and if you can make all of this look effortless then you will have a winner on your hands. And never forget "customer allways comes first and is always right".
