A well-structured service is not just "smiling more". It is a multi-faceted system used by World-Class Service companies, like: Ritz-Carlton, Nordstrom, Chick-Fil-A, Starbucks and many more.
The 10 Commandments of World-Class Service Companies is the methodology developed by TheDiJuliusGroup.com and successfully implemented in companies around the World.
Many companies have a mission statement, but few understand service vision, i.e. what is your 'Big Idea' in service? Why does your company exist for the client? What will the client lose if your company disappears from the market?
What do we do with our employees to help them embrace the atmosphere of service? How to find, teach, and keep people who provide service naturally?
Non- negotiable Experiential Standards
Do we have non-negotiable experience standards to reach a flawless level of service on every stage of customer interaction?
How are we using opportunities to personalize client's experience?
Training to provide World-Class Service
Are we teaching every employee on the importance and practical tools for great customer service?
Implementation
and execution
How to take everything from paper to real life of every employee?
Do we have protocols in place when customer is dissatisfied? Are we really doing everything for client to return or does it take us a month to solve an issue?
How can we help our employees strive not only to fulfill clients' needs but create a culture where the team would want to exceed customer's expectations?
