Customer service is not a department; it is an important function of every employee. When customers are pleased with a product or service they may tell one or two others; but when they are dissatisfied, they are much less restrained. Poor customer service causes negative word-of-mouth that your organization wants to avoid, which is why the people you select to interact with customers are so important.
Profiles International offers valuable assessment tools to help you identify employees with superior customer service skills, as well as coach existing employees to greater success, and to help you create a system for measuring customer satisfaction.
