The purpose and scope of customer service Level 2 Diploma in Customer Service The purpose and scope of customer service The purpose of customer service is to ensure the needs and wants of customers are met by the organisation. It is also about meeting customer expectations and ensuring satisfaction. The scope of customer service is about an organisation deciding what it will offer in the way of customer service and what the limitations are. Discuss with the learner what customer service means. Talk about needs, wants and expectations. Discuss what their wants and needs are. Discuss the level of service they receive and what they expect when they go there. Explain they will have an activity to do at home which will be based on this element and will require them to do some research either on the organisation they work for or another of their choice.

Level 2 Diploma in Customer Service Service Offer A service offer defines the extent and limits of the customer service that an organisation is offering. (ICS glossary of terms). The service offer will detail what the organisation will do for the customer, eg deliver goods in 24 hours or that complaints will be responded to within 48 hours, and outlines the returns policy. An organisation will have a service offer. It is usually in writing and it is used as part of the organisation’s staff induction process to ensure staff deliver the same customer service. Small organisations may not have it in writing but it will be an unwritten rule of what should be offered and known by all. Discuss the fact that the service offer is likely in small organisations to be unwritten but that the owner will have ideas of the level of service to be offered which is known by staff. Discuss with candidates if they have ever seen a service offer and, if so, what it contained. Discuss the various things a service offer will contain and why.

Level 2 Diploma in Customer Service Service Offer The value of a service offer (written or unwritten) to an organisation is that it: ensures consistency of services sets standards lets customers know what to expect sets limits of authority ensures the offer has been costed to ensure affordable and within budget. Staff will be told about it when they start and should always refer to it if they have any difficulty in handling a customer problem. Talk with the group why a service offer exists and what can happen if it is not applied. Give the learners Activity 2.1 and ask them to complete it. Discuss the answers with them.

Competitors’ activities Level 2 Diploma in Customer Service Competitors’ activities An organisation needs to be aware of the activities of its competitors and keep up to date with them as: they could be offering new products/services they could be undercutting prices they could be enhancing or updating existing services/products they could be launching a new advertising campaign or promotion there could be new competition in the market. Discuss a large organisation the group suggests. Talk to them about who its competitors are. Discuss the effect of not checking the above. Discuss eg the price checks the supermarkets do and why they do them.
