What Good Customer Service REALLY Looks Like


Image via ommhub.com
“Customer service” is one of those popular phrases that gets thrown around by most companies and organizations out there. Businesses want to make it seem like they take the utmost care of their customers and that they will bend over backwards for all of their clients. But do most companies really know what customer service is all about?

Most companies seem to think customer service refers to nothing more than doing the bare minimum to close the deal and make sure they get paid, and that’s IT. They put together some good sales materials, they will provide seemingly “expert” advice that sounds like it will meet your needs, they produce the paperwork, and then they disappear. Does that sound like great customer service to you?

We believe customer service means something else altogether. We believe customer service means performing a thorough, guided evaluation to make sure we fully understand our clients and their needs. We believe customer service means being present through every step of the process to make sure our clients feel confident and secure about the choices they’re making. We believe customer service means taking care of all the details so our clients can relax, secure in the knowledge they’re telecom needs are being taken care of. And we believe customer service means sticking around, taking care of any and all problems that crop up, and making sure our clients are kept up to date on any new solutions that might better serve them.

Which definition of “customer service” sounds better to you?
