Ten Commandments of Excellent Customer Service
A while back I was reading the quarterly newsletter of the guys who repair my car, Holschuh Collision Center. It’s the only newsletter I look forward to receiving because it contains a great mix of informative articles, humor, and tips. Anyhoo, in the Fall edition, there was a wonderful article on customer service that I want to share with you, tweaking it to fit the services I offer:
TEN COMMANDMENTS OF EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE
1. Listen Well: Excellent service begins with gathering all the information necessary for understanding what your priorities are, so I can tailor our work together to best meet your needs and goals.
2. Identify Needs: My clients don’t buy techniques and philosophies; they are buying progress. It’s my job to hold big space for creating the outcomes my clients are seeking.
3. Know Who’s Boss: Who’s the Boss? You, the client, are the boss with regard to what you want to accomplish. I’m the architect who designs the program and the project manager who oversees the implementation of the program to create the growth you’ve stated you want.
4. Set Priorities: The client’s needs and wants come first. How we accomplish those needs and wants is fostered by me, using energy-based tools for change.
5. Communicate Well: It’s important to keep the lines of communication open with regard to expectations, progress, and tweaking the goals to stay on track as we move forward.
6. Be Positive: We are focused on looking for progress, not excuses. Expect the best. Deliver the best.
7. Live Up to Promises: To put it succinctly, “Say what you do; do what you say”.
8. Admit when you’re wrong: No one is 100% perfect 100% of the time. When a ball gets dropped, admit it and do what you can to make it right.
9. Exceed Expectations: Make the work you offer memorable. Set the bar impossibly high and make it happen.
10. Stand Behind Your Work: Clients who return to do more work with me and refer friends and family are the lifeblood of my business. I work hard to earn your trust.
I hope the 10 Commandments help you get a better sense of where I’m coming from in working with you. Learn more about what working with me would be like by scheduling a FREE Discovery Session here.
