Recommendation
In Delivering Knock Your Socks Off Service, Performance Research Associates - with some editorial help from Ron Zemke - highlight the main principles and techniques involved in providing great customer service and resolving customer problems. This lively book features many short chapters, cartoons, bulleted axioms and what-to-do examples. However, much of the information seems very familiar, like a juiced-up version of hints, tips and advice that have appeared in many other customer service books. Thus, it has a kind of déjà vu quality. While someone who is experienced in this field may find the information here too familiar, getAbstract.com recommends this accessible volume as a great introduction to customer service.
In this summary, you will learn
- The fundamental principles of great customer service, such as being reliable, responsive and reassuring;
- Techniques for applying these principles, such as being honest, doing the right thing and listening; and
- How to solve problems in dealing with customers.
