“Back in the good old days”, Fortune 100 companies recruited beautiful women with sexy voices, coiffures, expensive dresses (and brains). They were called “Receptionists”. It was their job to sit at the front desk and be the “face” of the company. After the company name hanging on the wall, the beautiful receptionist was the first thing people saw. The receptionist had to have brains. She had to be tactful and diplomatic in handling whoever contacted the company. She was the front line of what would be called: “Customer Service”.

Today the majority of incoming communication is by telephone and email. A pretty receptionist is nice but not that important. When someone contacts the company, these days, they are likely to encounter the dreaded “telephone tree”. This diabolical device, certainly not invented by customers, can be an additional source of and addition to their frustration, consternation and (frequently) anger. It is not uncommon for customers to be placed on hold for over an hour.

They are calling customer service because they either didn’t get what they wanted or they have a problem. They are not real happy, and what do they get? The Telephone tree.

Bestselling author of Freakonomics Stephen J. Dubner, says, “I am probably typical in that I hate making a customer-service call to just about any large company. The odds of getting useful information in anything under a half hour are pretty slim”. He seems to be the flag bearer for frustrated consumers who want to fight back, “I can imagine that some people won’t be interested in giving out their phone numbers, even to a website that’s providing a free and pretty useful service,” he writes. “I can also imagine that some people may be tempted to exploit this service, getting a customer-service rep on the line and then, since it cost nothing to do so, hanging up on them out of spite for all the past injustices”. Ouch!

IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!

Is your customer service guilty of causing this kind of frustration? How quickly does your company respond? How long do your callers wait on hold? What do you do to keep customers satisfied, happy and above all: keep them as a customer? Klixxx contacted some industry leaders to get their view. Mary Gillis, Queen of Marketing at FlashCash says, “These days, it is Customer Service who responds to whoever might have a question, complaint or query. The CS person might never be seen. But their ability to reply in a positive manner is what puts a “face” on a company”. According to Ms. Gillis, “The first and most important thing to do is to have dedicated Customer Support Specialists, who are happy and professional”. Klixxx couldn’t agree more.

WHAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE?

Let’s define the term. Doug Howardell, of ACA Group (Canada) a management consulting firm says, “Customer service is the ability of an organization to constantly and consistently give the customer what they want and need”. If you are in business to provide XYZ and you take the customer’s money but don’t provide XYZ, the customer will probably contact you…duh! They want to get what they paid for. If your company does not give the customer what they think XYZ entails, in a timely manner (making them wait on hold for an hour) then you are not doing a good job of Customer Service.

YOU ARE A SERVICE ORGANIZATION!

You provide an intangible service. You are not selling stainless steel widgets! If yours is a website, then you are a service company! Harmik Gharapetian, of Epoch, who was named the Xbiz Business person of the year, says, “At the heart of what we do, Epoch is a service organization. What makes us stand apart from our competition is the way we handle the customer experience. We’ve concentrated heavily on our philosophy and approach to customer service…the average caller gets to an agent within 5-10 seconds and never has to navigate though a myriad of phone menus. Our agents are trained extensively before taking their first call. I can truly say that our customer service is state-of-the-art”.

THE ART OF KEEPING CUSTOMERS AND THE COST OF LOSING THEM

A lot of professionals know that the cost of acquiring a customer is up to ten times the cost of keeping them. If you are good you can make a great presentation and sell the prospect…once! But the way you handle the bump in the road; how you respond to your customer’s call for service, will determine if that person remains a customer or goes off to your competition.

Professionals will also tell you that it is easier to sell someone you are already selling than it is to establish a new relationship. So, companies frequently bend over backwards to make sure the customer stays a customer.

123Resourcing Customer Service Call Centers offer Customer Support on a pay per call/pay per minute or flat fee per month basis. Fabian Buys of 123resourcing.com says, “When customers take the time to call and complain about charges it means the membership is over. The program has lost a client and incurred a potential chargeback. Our company has standards in place to evaluate a customer’s level of dissatisfaction and offer them the proper alternatives. In certain situations we advise clients to allow us to give their client a 3-6 months complimentary password. For example, if a consumer charged a recurring membership for 6 months, it is beneficial to everyone involved to refund 1 month’s membership charge and give 3 months free access. Versus risking 6 months charge backs, which in reality is 6 separate charge backs, it’s a win – win situation.”

Professionalism is being able to handle the irate caller and keep them as a customer. “This is not a job for random part-timers,” Mary Gillis says. “You need educated, intelligent staff. These people are often the only people who interact directly with your consumers; they are the representatives of your company. If they don’t know their stuff, your company looks foolish”.

YOU NEED A GAME PLAN

A good strategy planning session makes sense. Put down in black and white just what your policy is (or policies are). Who will handle specific kinds of queries or complaints? Mary thinks, “Another important aspect is to ensure that your CS team is included in major decisions. They know how consumers react, they know what sort of issues will come up and (they) can contribute meaningfully to your projects. So, educate your CS Team, keep them in the loop and keep them happy so that they can be the type of representative that YOU would want to answer YOUR questions.”

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU’RE TALKING TO?

Who is your customer? If you are a doing business in other countries, do you have people on staff who can speak to customers…in their language? Harmik Gharapetian, of Epoch says, “Since the Internet is a global marketplace, we staff our customer service department 24-7-365 and our agents can accommodate customers in over 100 languages”. Now that’s Customer service!

HOW TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

What can your company do to keep customers happy? Here are some tips:

1. Answer the phone. When someone calls and hears the phone ring and ring, it sends the message that nobody is in the office. And it raises questions. Is the company out of business or incompetent? Are they understaffed? Do they have the capability to handle the customer’s needs? Not answering quickly is a big mistake!

2. Do What You Promise. There is a basic law of CS that Mary Gillis cites and that is doing what you say you will do. “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.”

3. Listen to what they have to say, really listen. Customers hate having to repeat their complaint over and over just because the person on the other end isn’t really listening. Active listening, asking questions and determining the problem is very important.

4. Handle the complaint. Find a way to give them the satisfaction they want. It’s an opportunity to be creative or to find the person in your company who can give the customer what they want.

5. Be there for them. Be human. Be nice. Give them a good experience with your company even if you can’t make a sale. By being the Good Samaritan, they will remember you.

6. Teach the staff your philosophy. Make sure the staff all sings the same song. Let them hear you handle some complaint calls so they know your feelings and how you want the job done. They will follow you by example.

7. Go “The Extra Mile.” Just as in #5 above, when you are kind, courteous and respectful, but above all friendly and helpful, people remember you and come back.

8. Offer A Token Gift. As Fabian Buys of 123Resourcing Customer Service Call Centers, does, offer a gift. He gives them 3 months free access. You think they’ll remember that? Damn straight.

Good customer service is the heart and soul of a company with a future. You can offer promotions, price reductions, tie-ins and other incentives, but if your service to your customers – when they really want it – is nonexistent, then your company will need a beautiful receptionist with brains.

Business VoIP services are already being hailed as the rightful successors to the traditional phone services. Many large enterprises have already integrated VoIP into their networks and with more sophisticated, affordable VoIP solutions in the market, small and medium businesses too are planning to start using business VoIP phones. This is probably the best time for any organization to take a look at the costs and benefits of business VoIP service and determine if it is right for them.

All that’s good with a business VoIP phone….

The most well-known and compelling reason for most businesses to consider VoIP is cost savings. A business VoIP service saves costs for a company on local calls and long-distance calls, which include both domestic and international calls. In particular if the company has many branches, within the country or overseas, then it makes a lot of business sense to go in for a VoIP solution as calls to and from the same provider are often free – similar to cell phone plans.

Other than cost-savings, business VoIP service offers many sophisticated value-added services which make it attractive. For example, a business VoIP phone service does not depend on the location. Whether you are calling an employee in an office a few thousand miles away or a local client, with a business VoIP phone, no extra cables are needed which means there are no extra costs. Also, you can carry your business VoIP phone number with you when you travel. No wonder it is called a virtual number! Where a Wi-Fi network is available, you could log into it and use your business VoIP service to start making and receiving phone calls. The same facility could be extended to mobile phones, which could use the VoIP network to make calls instead of standard mobile operators.

The biggest advantage of business VoIP service over traditional phone services is the complete integrated communications solution that it offers. With a business VoIP phone, it is possible to – make cheap domestic and international voice calls; take advantage of both audio and video conferencing; have features like call forwarding and call waiting; have voice messages and fax messages sent to your email address – and much more.

What’s not so good with a business VoIP phone…

While a business may benefit considerably with the cost-savings and additional features that a business VoIP phone service offers, there are certain cost factors, which need to be taken into account.

A business VoIP service is clearly dependent on power supply, implying that if there is no power, you will not be able to make or receive phone calls. This would mean you need a UPS to keep the business VoIP phone active during power outages and you would need a back-up PSTN line, just in case of emergencies.

Quality of voice in a business VoIP service had been an issue for some time, with complaints of echoes and jitters, etc. However, with VoIP solutions becoming more stable and mainstream now, you could get fairly good quality voice even on your business VoIP phone.

A converged network carrying both voice and data could raise issues of insufficient bandwidth, especially for small and medium business who typically have only one broadband line.

For any business, moving to a business VoIP phone service may be inevitable, but choosing a proper service provider will allow the company to seek features that will bring it immediate benefits, leaving a more comprehensive implementation for later.

Resource Box: Business VoIP can save a company thousands of dollars a year, some report savings of up to 80%. For smaller businesses a look at the benefits of a Business VoIP solution helps to see the advantages this new technology enables.

There are numerous business arguments for spending time and money on customer service, all of which have their own merits outweighing much of the downsides. Running a business without adequate customer service is one sure fire way to lose out in the long run, in terms of both customers and cost to your business. Customer service should be approached as a fixed cost that is also an investment in customer retention and goodwill, and ultimately in bottom line profits. By allotting adequate resources to the cause, your business will undoubtedly see a benefit from the customer service it provides.

One of the key business arguments for providing customer service lies in customer retention, and in maximising the lifetime value of each and every customer. Assume each customer is worth $100 a year to your business. By investing heavily in customer service, your business can retain most customers for longer, which would make each individual customer worth significantly more. However, without any thought to customer service, the short term value of each customer to your business could be much less, and there may be no guarantees of keeping each customer on after one year. Thus investing in a customer service department in your business is not only a good idea, but also one that can make or break your long term financial success.

It’s also important from a business point of view to have strong customer service as a way of protecting your brand, and ensuring the perception of your business remains intact. People talk, particularly after having experienced poor service and word can spread fast that your company is not able to deliver on its promises. If you make a habit of neglecting the customer service issues faced by your company on a day to day basis, you might quickly find that your business loses its ability to attract new sales prospects rather rapidly.

Another main business argument for establishing a competent customer service department is its impact on branding and customer acquisition. Converse to the fact that bad service will attract attention from word of mouth, so too good customer service travels fast and creates plenty of referrals. If people experience positive service, even where they may be having a problem with one of your products or services, they’re likely to tell others about the service they’ve enjoyed. This is an asset to your business, and if you get your customer service right, it can help to bring in new business referrals indirectly.

Running a business is not rocket science – it requires solid business fundamentals and the necessary support infrastructure to ensure you can deliver on what you promise and to keep customers happy. After all, happy customers are repeat customers, and repeat customers have the potential to strongly grow your business. By taking heed of the obvious business advantages to developing and strengthening your customer service department, you can benefit from a growth in your business and a stronger brand perception, which will help retain existing customers and attract new ones in equal measure.

No matter what type of retail store or stores you have; online via a web store or an actual retail store, good customer service is a necessity, now and as it has in years past. Maybe you’re a small retail operation and operate one or two web sites and don’t have a staff or department that handles your customer service. That’s okay, when you can align yourself with a customer service answering service. It’s less expensive than you think and highly effective by having live and articulate operators answer your callers’ inquiries, take orders, provide product information, and can actually help you sell and better promote whatever it is you’re offering online.

Yes, e-mails are great, but not everyone is that patient and maybe the person who’s interested in your products who has a question, sends hundreds of e-mails on daily basis at work. They could be burnt out from the process and may not want to bother sending another e-mail. There preference is to talk to someone right now, since they’re hot for your product or service. Meet and greet their immediate demands by having a customer service answering service ready to serve and sell them now!

You know what it’s like sometimes when you call a retail store, and getting through is frustrating; press this, press that, and usually no one gets on the line, and you end-up hanging up and doing business elsewhere. Don’t let that happen to your web store or small retail store. Let a business savvy customer service answering service provide immediate help and excellent customer service, and that’s what can and will build your business.

No doubt, a well-designed web site can attract visitors, and hopefully get them to visit your online store, but if they have a question, or need more info ASAP, it’s a great sell to have a customer service answering service available to help them when they need help. By having the live customer service answering service, you will also be building trust and providing your existing and new customers with prompt and courteous help.

Doesn’t a soothing, polite and helpful voice beat an electronic e-mail? Sure it does. Buyers often times want immediate answers to their questions and won’t always want to e-mail their questions. Other benefits of having a customer service answering service, other than having someone available live to help, is often times the more your customers know about your products, their features, availability, or what news products will soon be available, the better. It’s not only assuring to get fast and accurate information about your online web store products, it’s simply smart business to have customer service answering support be able to keep your customers coming back and being happy that they called. Having a customer service answer service not only builds trust, it assures them you’re a reputable online business that cares about providing real customer service.

Having a reputable customer service answering service should be part of your overall marketing strategy to help you better support and grow your business. It’s affordable and customizable, you just need to identify the better customer service answering service that are out there and best suited for your retail business needs.

Even in a sluggish economy there are smart solutions that can help grow your business or better service your business, to keep or add to your client/patient database. Let us start with one solution that is not utilized often enough by companies and medical practices. Many progressive companies and practices utilize the services of an answering service. Why’s that, you may ask? It’s simple: they understand the importance of staying in touch with their customer, clients or patients whenever it’s necessary for them to call their company or medical facility. Or at a minimum, allow them an after hour calling service option for their callers. They realize servicing these calls either on an overflow or after hours basis at times is not only necessary, but a value-added service. Another reason why is to seamlessly have their calls covered. What company/practice can afford to miss a call?

Industry leading answering service companies like 1-800 We Answer have been providing a wide array of services for companies and medical professionals/practices for 40 years. They are well aware that the first voice a customer/prospect/patient hears is important.

A sour tone, an unfriendly voice doesn’t help your business in any way. Nor does hearing a voicemail message or that recorded “Our offices are now closed” message. The best answering service only hires and offers to its clients the best trained and articulate operators in the industry. Answering service companies are well aware that the voice they first hear truly matters.

Answering services exist that are well suited to help you better service and sell your business/practice. These services include: a complete call center, voicemail service, fax to e-mail service, business systems installation of phones from cable to phone selection and installation to creating your telecom infrastructure.

The best answering service companies have grown successful by listening attentively to their clients and offering them services they’ve truly needed. Your business or practice can and should do the same. Whether you need overflow call coverage after hours or at a peak seasonal selling time, you cannot afford to miss any calls. A mail order catalog company I know utilized the answering service solution and their sales grow. How? Well, while their sales staff was asleep, answering service operators were taking their calls after hours, especially from the west coast clients and prospects that had that recently received their new catalog in the mail.Their answering service was capable of servicing these calls and even helping people navigate on the company’s web site and providing some helpful product information. When the sales staff arrived in the morning there were numerous messages left for all of their sales representatives. As a result, many of those calls received and handled by the answering service lead to actual sales.

What too many companies overlook is that a quality and professional answering service can practically become a partner, a sales and service partner without any legal paperwork or percentages owed or owned by another individual. And that’s how any business or practice can creatively grow their business.

A reliable and well established company, like 1-800 We Answer, is capable of being that partner. They can successfully play that role for you at an affordable price, offer flexible billing options and provide all the expensive new technology and telecom equipment along with a skilled staff that will be available when you need them. The answering service that your company chooses should back-up their services with a skilled staff of customer service and IT professionals. You shouldn’t feel pressured you into signing any long-term contracts. Your answering service should want to earn your business over the long-term. And that to me is a good and old-fashioned way of doing business the right way. Good and trusted relationships over time usually pay off in more ways than one.

Every business needs someone to answer their phones, and they often hire a front desk or telephone receptionist to answer, screen and route calls. Great receptionists are gatekeepers to your organization, and when they go on vacation or on personal leave, businesses feel their loss. Turning to temporary receptionist help can be a frustrating, expensive experience. But there’s another route that your business can take when you need you need professional telephone coverage. When you partner with a local answering service, you don’t need to hire a temporary receptionist. With a local Answering Service your calls are professionally and accurately covered. Your callers will always hear a professional and articulate operator. Local Answering Services, particularly in major metropolitan areas, are well aware that first impressions count and the voice callers hear first, is vitally important to maintaining your company’s professional image.

A second type of callback is known as SMS callback or SMS call. This is alike traditional callback services, except the subscriber initiates or triggers a call by sending an SMS message from the phone. The message contains the subscriber’s phone number as well as the number where he wishes to call. As a matter of fact, the callback system recognises the SMS message and calls the subscriber to get connected with the number.

The SMS callback service is not available in every country while, web callback can be used in any country where the caller has access to the Internet.
