DescriptionThe story of a golfer and his male fairy godmother who guides him through encounters with outstanding service in a variety of business settings is an eloquent parable about customer service. The three-part formula: First, decide on a vision-a level of service that perfectly reflects what you want to give customers. Second, discover the specific needs and expectations of your customers and weave them into your vision of how to serve them. Third, deliver your vision a step at a time, being absolutely consistent before stepping up the service to the next level. Everyone serious about customer relationships should hear this.
ForewordSuccessful organisations have one common central focus: Customers. It doesn’t matter if it’s a business, a professional practice, a hospital or a government agency, success comes to those, and only those, who are obsessed with looking after customers.
This wisdom isn’t a secret. Mission statements, annual reports, posters on the wall, seminars and even television programmes all proclaim the supremacy of customers. But in the words of Shakespeare, this wisdom is "more honoured in the breach than the observance." In fact, generally speaking, customer service, in a word, stinks.
And no wonder. Look at how we’ve been training our managers. When I was in college, we took courses in marketing consumer behaviour. The assumption was that the public was a mindless group of buyers and that with proper advertising and promotion products could be produced en masse and sold to naïve buyers. Unfortunately, as I tour the country speaking, I find too many young managers still think this way. Advertising, product positioning and market share pricing strategies are all important. But when all is said and done, goods aren’t sold; products and services are bought.
