Key Talking Points

  • Elite Invitational – open to everyone
  • What are your SOPs for customer experience 
  • Reduces the customer’s anxiety- customers don’t know your process, what to expect, what was found, what it will cost etc 
  • Extended orientation for new customers- set the expectations, ask them to come a little early, let customers get to know the staff as real people, follow through with the set expectations 
  • Consider having a handout to customers with your staff’s bio 
  • The industry did a top-notch job communicating to their customers how they were being safe and sanitizing during COVID-19- the same needs to be done for exceptional customer service
  • Boast about the investment you continue to make with your people 
  • When organizations in all industries were asked to score the quality of their customer service experience, 80% scored it excellent or superior. When that same question was asked to the consumer, 8%t felt they were getting a superior customer experience.
  • Buy name tags for your service advisors
  • Are you in the transaction business or the relationship business?
  • “One reason people resist change is because they focus on what they have to give up, instead of what they have to gain”
