Exceeding customer expectations is a critical factor for any business. ‘Good enough’ is no longer sufficient to keep your competitive edge. Employees and customers have become more demanding.

When you interact directly with customers, you determine whether they feel they are receiving poor customer service, excellent service; or something in between. Your words and behaviours will determine how they perceive you and your company. First impressions count. This applies to whether the customer works for the business (internal) or not (external). An unhappy customer will tell a lot of people how you made them feel. Handling conflict well can have a very positive impact in future relationships.

There are benefits for employees in delivering excellent customer service too. It can help them with their own progression, reduce stress and improve job satisfaction. All of this can impact on the future success of the business.
