Full Description


The concept of "customer service" can mean different things to different people, but one universal fact is that good customer service is a major contributory factor to the success of any organisation. True customer service is about building an organisation that is appealing to the kinds of customers you want and it is about giving them the experiences that make them come back. It is about measuring and improving what you do and how you do it. It is about applying sound management principles to all parts of your business that touch the customer. This book is intended to be very different from all others on customer service. Instead of focusing on narrow elements it provides a total framework that shows you how to prepare, manage and change your business to get the most out of your customer relationships. There are 8 key elements: understanding customers; developing a service strategy; delivering service through people; creating a service culture; complaints management; delivering service through business procedure; location and premises; and measuring service standards and customer responses. Filled with case studies, exercises and expert advice "The Customer Service Workbook" is applicable to any organisation - whatever its size. By the time you have worked through this book you should be able to design, develop and implement a total customer service approach. Also included on the accompanying CD ROM is a unique 40-minute video presentation by the author on the themes dealt with in the book.
