I think if you summarize customer service into one word, it would be: Care. Care about your customer. I mean really care about your customer. If you would just simply care about your customers, you don't need to spend all that money on marketing or advertising. When you care about your customers, they'll spread the word for you.
So, have I stressed enough how much you need to care for your customer? <big smily face>
If you still don't get it, perhaps these quotes will help out....
"Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community" -Anthony D'Angelo
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,?nothing is going to get better. It's not." -Dr. Seuss (Such a smart guy!)
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." - Leo Buscaglia
“It is the characteristic of the magnanimous man to ask no favor but to be ready to do kindness to others.”
— Aristotle
"Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace."
— Albert Schweitzer








You hit the nail on the head, Maria. I've also found that the best CSRs are those who are motivated to care whether they are being required and paid to do so or not!
