Customer Service Training
68% of people who leave a business say they do so because of poor customer service. This statistic alone should be a wake-up call for all of us. A renewed emphasis on customer service is vital to our success. The reward for our efforts is a loyal customer who returns again and again to purchase our product or visit our destination. To earn our customers’ repeat business we need to focus on Attitude, Consistency, Service and Teamwork. Attitude is EVERYTHING.
Why focus on Customer Service?
- It costs 5 to 6 times more to attract new customers than to keep existing ones.
- Companies can boost profits anywhere from 25 to 125 percent by retaining merely 5 percent more existing customers.
- A 2 percent increase in customer retention has the same effect on profits as cutting costs by 10 percent.
- Happy customers tell 4-5 others of their positive experience. Dissatisfied customers tell 9-12 how bad it was – or worse – they post their complaint on YOUTUBE.COM where it can potentially be viewed by thousands.
