Customer Service Policy Mission Statement My customer service mission would be to go above and beyond the customers expectations and achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction to maximize the long-term growth and success of the company. We will provide a superior customer service experience and build a corporate culture that is focused on delivering quality customer service to maintain customer loyalty. Customer Retention/Loyalty The Importance of customer retention to the organization Is a crucial component to the Flanagan strength and growth of the company.
Customer service Is a part of the inundation for which customer retention occurs. In order for customer retention to occur the knowledge of customer loyalty needs to also be recognized. All employees must understand and acknowledge the relationship between customer retention and customer loyalty. Our upper level management needs to instill the proper education (Job aids) to our frontline employees and stress the Importance of customer retention to the organization.
There are many ways to achieve customer retention but I feel that best ways to achieve customer retention are to put the customer’s needs first and remember that little goes a long way. By putting the customer’s needs first, this shows a care, concern, and awareness of the customer. All of which are valuable keys to customer retention. Also, we will be able to exceed what they expect. Over time we will be able to recognize the customer’s needs before they do.
This will give us the opportunity to deliver valuable customer service and will be an easy way for your customer to recognize how much we value and appreciate their business. The ways in which we would want to maintain customer retention from the sales perspective, would be to offer our customers free trials on our new services or products, offer new services or products we feel will enhance their services or by offering our customers special discounts. Another technique that could be offered to our customers Is a customer loyalty program.
Customer loyalty programs are becoming quite common and have added value to many organizations when properly executed with their customers. A little goes a long way when we demonstrate an effort to improve our relationships with your customers. I feel a good way to build our relationship with our customers is o set up a small meeting (a follow up) with the customer contact. The meeting would not be a formal meeting, rather just a discussion and to check on how they feel about our current service, what they feel we need to Improve on, and Just to make sure we are delivering quality customer service.
After this meeting, we will have gathered useful and beneficial information from our customers that will enable our organization to improve our customer relationships. These meetings should be set up quarterly or biannually to maintain consistent customer service. Customer Satisfaction Survey 1 . How satisfied are you with our products and services? 2.
