‘Bad’ Customer Service
Whether you are an employer, manager, or employee, there are five things “You should know”:
- Anytime a customer (internal and external), is in front of you, or on the telephone, they should receive exceptional customer service.
- Without your customer, you will not have a business or job.
- Minority owned businesses are the second largest employer of people of color.
- Training your employees to provide exceptional customer service, is the best way to retain your customer, receive free advertising, and ensure a repeat customer.
- If employees are rude to a customer… management is to blame.
With that being said, let’s talk about the things that are keeping your business from growing in customers and revenue. These are all forms of ‘bad’ customer service!
When you or your employee does any of these things, you are losing customers and money.
-Your customer /client are not greeted with a friendly greeting upon their arrival.
-having personal conversations in the presence of customers/clients - whether face-to-face or on their cell phone.
-their attitude is rude. i.e. rolling eyes, sighing
-their body language says don’t approach. i.e. their arms are crossed.
-the tone of their voice is rude or condescending. Remember a customer on the phone can hear your rudeness.
-having an unclean and cluttered store is unwelcoming.
Your customer / client should never know if your employee is having a bad day. The customer/client should not know that the manager is a jerk, the employee is having personal problems with their boyfriend / girlfriend, or any other personal problem they might have.
When a customer walks into your place of business and your employee is frowning with their arms crossed, playing the dozens or a manager is disciplining a subordinate in front of customers… your customer is receiving ‘bad’ customer service. And they will probably think “did I catch them at a bad time”, or Wow! no one has acknowledged me since I walked in”.
Either way, the customer is receiving bad customer service from your business and this can affect your reputation which will end up costing you money. You will lose money from that customer not returning to your business.
“4 – 10 people will tell someone about their bad customer service experience.”
“1 - 3 people will tell someone about their good customer service experience.”
Bad customer service is normally the culture of the business. In most businesses big or small, most employees have not been trained properly and that is the result of an untrained manager or supervisor. For every rude clerk, cashier, operator, receptionist, etc. you will find a rude manager, supervisor or owner.
