Impeccable Languaging

Customer Experience Tip #996

Instead of saying, “No problem,” try saying, “You got it,” “Sure thing,” “My pleasure,” or something else that moves away from problems and instead implies your can-do attitude and approach.

Impeccable Partnership

Customer Experience Tip #995

Root for your customers and let them know you’re doing so. They should never be made to feel that it’s them on one side and you on the other. Instead, your customers should sense that you’re alongside them for the journey.

Impeccable Approach

Customer Experience Tip #993

Whether verbalized or implied, “That’s not my job” is never an acceptable stance. See what you can do to help. If an issue requires escalation, see it through and circle back with that customer. Transferring them to another party and hoping for the best just isn’t enough.

Impeccable E-mailing

Customer Experience Tip #992

Let go of the one-size-fits-all pre-populated closing line (i.e., Thank you, Warmly, Regards, Sincerely, etc.), and switch to the best fit for each situation instead. It’s a 5-second (worthwhile) investment that demonstrates personalization to that recipient.

Impeccable Timing

Customer Experience Tip #988

We talk a lot about under promising and over delivering. Even when a customer says, “No rush,” don’t let that serve as permission to back-burner the request. That’s what everyone does. (That’s what your competition is doing.) Instead, make it a priority and get it to them quickly.

Customer Experience Tip #987

You can disagree without being disagreeable. Instead of saying, “I think you’re wrong,” consider saying, “While I see your point, one could argue that…”
