6. 5 Keys to Exceptional Customer Service Session 2

7. 5 keys to Exceptional Customer Service(The following is adapted from the a customer service article in http://bizguidemongolia.com ) • Apologize, don’t debate/Уучлалт гуй, бүү мэтгэлц • Feedback keeps you focused/ Хэрэглэгч,үйлчлүүлэгчдийн санал бодлыг сонсоход анхаарч ажиллах • Stay flexible/ Уян хатан бай • Do your best to always say yes/ Дандаа "За" гэж хэлээрэй • Under promise, over deliver/ Багыг амлаж, амласнаасаа ихийг өг

8. Apologize, don’t debate/Уучлалт гуй, бүү мэтгэлц • If a customer has a problem, apologize and fix the problem. Make sure to let customers vent their grievances, even if you are tempted to interrupt and correct them. Then give them a refund, new item, or whatever will fix the problem. Debating or haggling over a refund creates ill will.

9. Feedback keeps you focused/ Хэрэглэгч,үйлчлүүлэгчдийн санал бодлыг сонсоход анхаарч ажиллах • Providing your customers with easy and accessible means of communication is vital to exceptional customer service. Not only should your customers be able to let you know how they feel, but you must work to make them feel comfortable in doing so.

10. Stay flexible/ Уян хатан бай • You must be flexible when it comes to your customers and clients. This means doing a project for a client in a pinch, having an early morning meeting even if you like to sleep in, and meeting on Saturday even if you usually reserve your weekends for yourself.

11. Do your best to always say yes/ Дандаа "За" гэж хэлээрэй • This doesn't mean giving up your personal will to your customers but it does mean finding a way to help customers with their requests. • If your customers ask you for something on the menu, but you just ran out ten minutes ago go to the store and buy some more. • Don’t think of yourself as a waitress or a storekeeper, but an expert at solving problems and making people happy: • BE CREATIVE. If a customer feels they can count on you for anything they’ll keep coming back.

12. Under promise, over deliver/ Багыг амлаж, амласнаасаа ихийг өг • Make your customers believe they are important to you by always appearing to go the extra mile. Exceptional customer service is all about managing perception. • Many small businesses make the mistake of reversing this maxim - over promising and under delivering.
