1.1.3 How to deliver good customer service
You can deliver good customer service by following some simple rules.
Make it easy for your customer. A good customer service experience reduces the amount of work that your customer needs to do.
Target your message directly to your customer. The more a customer’s experience is about them and their needs being met, the better the level of service.Â
Say thank you when a customer buys your product or uses your service and say sorry when you get it wrong. This is more than simply being polite. It is about building a relationship. As a result, it shows your interest in the customer as a person.
