When we think of “customer service” we tend to think about the person using our product or service. We tend to think of the product or service as the item the ultimate consumer is buying. Take a car dealership for example. The staff thinks of the product or service as the car itself. Although a correct view, the salesperson is also buying the services of the accounting department to process the down payment. The showroom manager is buying the services of the sales staff to keep their desks in a professional manner so the car buyer focuses on the cars, not the desks. The Service Department manager is depending on the salespeople to sell cars so they have warranty work to perform later. The mechanic is buying the maintenance worker’s ability to keep the lifts operational.
No customer service program is complete without addressing all aspect of customer service – both i nternal and external. MaxImpact’s Customer Connection is a unique and complete program designed to raise the bar on total customer service – the one venue that competitors cannot compete against.
