CREATING THE REMARKABLE: 4 RULES TO UPGRADE
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
RULE #1
What is your purpose? Why are you in business? Define what you believe in and communicate it clearly, over and over again. Dialogue is not in the call center business , we believe that we sell an experience. We are here to blossom the relationship
between the consumer and the brand. As Simon Sinek says in the book “Start with Why”, people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it
UNDERSTAND
THE “WHY”
RULE #2
Attitude trumps experience in most situations. Do they genuinely work well with others and look at the positive of situations? Would they grow into a mentoring leader or a finger pointing boss? Hire team members that are truly interested
in your mission and are passionate to help you achieve it. Avoid hiring cultural detractors even if they do have the most experience.
START WITH YOUR
EMPLOYEES
RULE #3
Customer experience can easily be overwritten by financial goals, cost-cuts and fear of change. Everyone at your organization, needs to be on board with the idea that the customer experience is always the top priority.
Anything that hinders the quality of the customer interaction should be immediately evaluated. Have team members ask themselves “Does this allow for the very best customer experience?” If the answer is no, reevaluate and be vigilant about reinforcing your mission.
REMOVE ROADBLOCKS
RULE #3
No one can successfully compete on a product, service or price alone. Customer service is the driver for loyalty…how do you think Starbucks and Zappos got so big? Their success came from word of mouth referrals by loyal customers based around the
remarkable customer service that they received. Help your team members understand the consequences of not being remarkable.
REMOVE ROADBLOCKS
RULE #4
UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES
