customer service initiative Archives - Shep Hyken

Top Takeaways:

A company customer experience movement starts by giving everyone in the company a way to communicate with leadership.
Customer service must start with a dialogue, giving employees a voice that allows them to share how they want to interact with customers. This process gets everyone engaged, ultimately creating a better customer experience. From the top to bottom everyone has an impact on the customer Someone behind the scenes in the warehouse may never see the customer. But, if they don’t package the product properly and it is damaged when it ships, the customer will have a bad experience when the package is received. Even people that have no contact with the customer can have a big impact on the customer
To ensure that employees have a forum to speak to executives about ideas, two things must happen:
- Communication must be transparent throughout the entire organization.
- Employees should have the ability to share their thoughts anonymously. This allows executives to get the truth to make necessary changes.
There are many ways to begin a customer service initiative. In the beginning, someone must take ownership of the internal customer experience and open up the channels of communication. Employers are tasked with sharing ideas to improve how the company currently operates. Consider using a business social platform that allows employees to share their ideas with the entire company. It creates an open environment ideas are shared in one place. Employees can expand on ideas, share feedback and offer suggestions while executives are able to watch the conversation and learn what employees are thinking.
