Congruence of Knowledge, Skills, and Values
Exceptional customer service requires more than knowledge. It also involves attitudes, values, and beliefs. The Customer® Program helps people evaluate their actions and behavior, and identify the gaps – or incongruence – that cause conflict, stress, poor performance, and/or stifled productivity. When each of these dimensions are in congruence, achievement drive is released and new levels of loyalty, synergy, and self-satisfaction result.
Customer Satisfaction System™
One of the most powerful components of The Customer® is the Customer Satisfaction System™. The easily remembered system is made up of six steps:
Greet …
people to put them at ease.
Value …
individuals as unique and important.
Ask …
good, open-ended questions.
Listen …
to what people say through their words, tone and body language.
Help…
meet the needs and wants you've heard expressed.
Invite …
them to continue the relationship or call on you again.
