Why is the Customer important? Every Life Has A Story

Video Discussion How can we relieve the problems that customers may be experiencing? Why is it important to not only treat customers as valued guests, but employee’s also? Why should we care about the Customer?

The Importance of Feedback “There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply spending his money somewhere else.” -Sam Walton-

Why Should We Be Concerned About Feedback? On average, one customer in four is dissatisfied with some aspect of a typical transaction. Only 5 percent of dissatisfied customers will bother to complain to the company. The rest who remain silent generally take their business elsewhere. Today unhappy customers can post their complaints to thousands of people online. News of bad customer service can spread fast, so giving excellent service should be our top priority.

Feedback Commitment Levels Metric-Conscious Active “Listeners” Reluctant-Compliant Feedback Commitment Levels

Levels of Feedback Commitment Reluctant-compliant: Where companies may offer customers a “feedback card” but the effort is halfhearted. Active Listener: These companies are genuinely open to hearing from customers. Metrics-conscious: This level of feedback commitment involves taking customer comments and measuring and tracking them.

Conclusion Remember the difference between an employee and a customer. Don’t settle being just another employee, be a great employee! Remember that each customer has a story, treat them as a valued guest. Go the extra mile with or without customer feedback.
