Customer service is one of the most important section of any establishment. It might look small but it has the power to make great or demolish any institution.

So many businesses are not moving forward, yet, putting all best possible into ensuring the growth of the business but undermining or even neglecting the power of the customer service.

Have you forgotten that your business is for those who will need what your business caters for?

Making customers/clients feel welcomed, retaining them and their satisfaction should be your priority.

Good customer service delivery is the service delivered to customers/clients before, during and after a service is rendered or a purchase is made.

If you own a business and customer satisfaction is not your sole aim then be ready to pack back from where you surface from.

They always say "customers are always right" even when they are wrong, without being a good listener you cannot correct the wrongs of your customer/client.

What the above implies is that, even when a customer/client is trying to prove that he/she is right probably after a transaction has been made, the customer service representative must be ready to listen to the customer and then explain politely the cause of misunderstanding after the customer must have finished making the complain and proffer a suitable solution so as to restore customer's loyalty.

Patience and pretence are another vital virtue of a customer service representative. In short, the sole priority of a good customer service representative is service to humanity.

I made mention of pretence because of its utmost importance. Mood changes often but a customer service representative must not allow mood to affect his/her dealings with customers/clients. This is because they will not understand your situation, in fact, they need not know what the situation is with you.

When you are sad which is normal for humans, you need to pretend to your customers/clients that you are the most happiest because this is even the time your customer service capability will be put to test by your customers/clients.

If you are not satisfied with either interactions or repetition of answered questions or anything, you must appear to be most satisfied.

This is why it is not good and advisable to make someone that get angry easily to be a customer service representative because many customers/clients out there love to prove that they know a lot when it is obvious they don't know much, but a good customer service representative will make them feel at home and proffer a solution to the situation on ground rather than making the problem get thicker which might make such customer to look else where.

It is important to also know that a single customer/client no matter the financial status is capable of growing or weakening an establishment/business' customer base, this is why it is important to treat all customers/clients accordingly.

One greatest secret of good customer service delivery is to treat your customers/clients the way you want yourself to be treated because a happy customer/client will definitely tell other people their sweet experience and you know what impact that can make.

If your business is not growing as expected, look into strengthening your customer service delivery and make the new year we have entered a great one.

Happy new year.
