Customer Service: Customer is always King

Visit my new blog http://bigbaker.blog.com

When it comes to customer service, many times it is the little things that lead to a sale and great customer satisfaction.

Cake decorators compete on a lot of different levels, including price, design capabilities and convenience of location. But in today’s rush-rush world, perhaps the most important factor that potential customers use to determine to whom they give their business to, is good ol’ fashioned service.

A satisfied customer is the source of the best type of advertising; word of mouth. As a result, your customer service can have positive effects on your business, bringing in new customers who are looking for a better experience than what your competitors provide.

What constitutes good service?

A friendly greeting starts the transaction off on the right foot. Better is being able to address a customer by name, implying personalized service. Even surly customers can be disarmed if you “kill them with kindness”

Common courtesy isn’t so common these days, so a hearty greeting goes a long way toward reinforcing the image of good service, it has also been our culture to practice a good send off as well. It always makes a good impression on a customer as well. Not only does a “thank you” reassure customers that you value them, something as simple as walking them to the door, or assisting them to their car, can demonstrate a higher level of service.

Do this and whoever you serve, will always want to come back for me...
