How to Improve your Service Experience

At The Essential Helper we consistently here of poor service our clients receive from other companies that they do business with. We decided to empower our clients, blog readers and anyone interested with a few powerful steps that could help you have a better service experience. We are not guaranteeing in way shape or form this is going to be the perfect experience, but it can help make your experience better.

1. Greet the customer service Representative doing this can one little gesture can make a huge difference in the service exchange. It will make the Representative feel like someone cares how their day is going and they will be more inclined to listen to your needs and provide you with good service.


2. Take Note: I always tell my clients ask for the full name of customer services Representative you are speaking too. Write down the date, time and the issue you spoke about. This important if you are speaking over the phone or in person. If there is an issue with the way the service requested was provided, you can always pull out this information which will make it easier for the next service Representative to help you. This will also help you know and understand the type of service you are getting and when it will be completed for your records.


3. Go up the ladder: If in the first two minutes of your conversation you do not feel like you are getting the service you desire do not hesitate to move up to the next person in charge. I can't tell you how many times I am on the phone with a customer service rep. and I just get the feeling they are not getting what I'm saying. I immediately ask for their supervisor. There is no sense in wasting time trying to explain an issue to someone that does not have the power to change the outcome. If the supervisor can not help keep on going up the ladder.


4. Stay calm: It is always easier to get a request accomplished if you are calm and polite. Companies now are giving their employees the right to hang up on customers who call in screaming, cursing and irate. Even if it is a mistake made by the company try and call when you can be calm over the issue or you may never be able to get an issue resolved. I know this seems unfair, but it's just the way it is.


5. Call in a third party: Sometimes we can get to emotionally involved with an issue. It may help if you have someone to call on your behalf. Sometimes when you release control and allow a third person/party to help you resolve the issue things can get accomplished quickly and you do not have to end up with high blood pressure by the time your through with the service company. The Third party should be an advocate that you trust to act in your best interest and one that is knowledgeable about working with service companies.
