Description

There is no question about the impact great customer service has on an organisation. How to manage customer feedback will give you the tools to make a connection and build a relationship with your customer base. Today we may be providing a service, tomorrow we may be a receiving one; it is the beauty of this that makes good customer service a truly human endeavour.

Bill Gates once said: “Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning”.

Make sure you use this as a source of inspiration! Create an environment that welcomes customer feedback. Educate your team on how to handle feedback and use it to improve.
