Why Microsoft Make Soft Packaging t

Why Microsoft Make Soft Packaging t Why is it that Microsoft wants you to buy his product, but does not want to open the plastic that is welded around the cardboard box? I think this type of packaging and cockroaches survive atomic disasters! Good luck finding an idea for an easy way to open this little fusion of skin-tearing packaging. Let me share my scissors trying to force the open end. I ripped a fingeail trying to squirm into a small space. I locked in an open letter to see if I could draw all types of muscle tear and that sucker open. I seriously thought about using a chain saw.Finally, in an adaptation of the Hulk-like rage, I take a small dagger, as a division of plastic, held plastic with other hand and yanked with all my strength. I cut my hand a box with the opening created.And what I hard, 81 / 2 "x 11" x 2 "box contains a CD, I tremble to think that would be too packed in plastic containers that produce neither male nor woman.Thankfully, the CD was a 'trivial, without packaging. good thing. I would cry echoed in the hall of the August bill from 'hotels in Washington. There is enough pain to update the software without going through the machinations of the physical opening of a # $% ^ & box.Moral of history: the customer experience is everything.

Attention Customer Service Tips Why we have a problem with Customer Service

Attention Customer Service Tips Why we have a problem with Customer Service You often hear that customers are dissatisfied with something, and sometimes frustrated.Yet frankly, what you hear from their employees, that is to say? Customers Stupid! Simply do not understand how to use the product? As the owner or manager, that was your answer? He was a backup of your employees, or to find out what the customer is really saying? WARNING: You? I have been an indicator of what is happening on the organization. Customers aren? Not always what it had paid, and workers are effectively blocking access to what the customer wants.Let? S viewed from the client? S, see: You? I bought a new XYZ which is essential for the functioning of your business. You retu to the office and can? Does not work as advertising. It's called customer service, with the hope that it is only something that can be quickly corrected. After 30-40 minutes of waiting on the phone so that, finally, a person who has been told? Oh sure. All that makes mistakes. All you have to do is? [Pie in his left foot, while pressing the button with the index finger]. No problem. Thanks for the request, click. No? They have also the opportunity to tell you aren? Not every day that one of these customers. You are really very good and already proven, but not? I do not work. So, since we do not? Do not listen to you? I call again. Another 30-40 minutes of waiting and finally someone mentioned this is an immediate response?. [Exactly the same as last time], but is trying to listen to first cut was the last man. What finally stop and listen, but the answer is? You? Using a bad back. It was not? It does not mean that, at least in this way. When used in this way will have to stay on the right foot, while pressing the left button with your index finger. Geeeeee! ? .. click. And after trying out the left foot which has started to work at least not until the following day, when you go down again. In the meantime, you and your business is offline, as long as it cost? What is the cost for the purchase of this product, which was supposed to save money? And it is likely that there will be another 20-30 calls to other similar problems. Meanwhile, in? S is the cost tons of money and time while you are trying to establish their product, and in some cases, because their activity depends on the work they have produced, the whole situation has been greatly reduced cost.So what? s response to that? While many customer service representatives, managers and entrepreneurs that it was a technical problem that can be fixed by fixing the technical problem, please be careful is not just a technical matter. This is a management problem. E 'for the management to fix the fact that the person in direct contact with the customer is more interested in showing that the product works and the customer is too stupid to know that instead of helping customers get what they really want. Employees should be informed, should be trained to understand their real task is to help its customers and that requires listening, rather than substance which justifies the product really works. Otherwise they are probably in response to WRONG question.Sometimes a really good technical reason to support the left foot instead of pressing the right button. And if a customer does not? So how and when to do it, ISN? No problem with the instructions, or perhaps something more, not customer.Keep results of what customers are asking about. Even if an employee is what he thinks is a reasoned response, the next question is again and again it's time to discover what the real cause of basic is.I also think that most people in service customers are actually trying to do a good job of their boss, but do not understand what the objectives of your work is really. For what they're doing a good job providing services wrong. Most feel that their job is to protect the head, the company and, perhaps, your job, what? Stupid client. What makes a loss for the customer and, after all, is the customer who pays their salaries, not the other. The client to disappear if not this? N. change.If employees to change their perspective? My job is to help customers get what they want. I? M, an expert on policy, technical issues, and I? Ll use the tools to help customers get what they really want (which is typically a product that works.) I have traveled to the Middle East and last year saw a perfect example of how the perception of an employee may affect the their customers. When you reach the window where it is shown that the passports were two people who were there to facilitate the more rapid movement through the various lines, but each has a different idea of what your work is deemed was.One someone to help people to get what they wanted. They walked until the arrival of the passengers, asking if they were not citizens or nationals, and focusing on the correct line quickly. If they are not citizens, then asked if they had all the documents compiled, checked the documents and then showed them how to correct the line of XYZ before reaching the desk is now considered that to others. The police themselves. Prevention was the people of the line if you do not? They have the form, or if you have? Not completed properly, preventing them from entering in the wrong direction, and sent a table of work to compile the documents themselves. When it is activated? Police? verify that the documents and sends them back to do more. No offer to help others to say that this ISN? Not filled right, do again.The difference between these people is first and foremost in their vision of their work, what they consider their work. Both have the same job description, ensuring that no agent at the counter? Not having to deal with improperly filled out forms and lines to pass through faster.However, sees his job as catching errors and bring them out of line. This might make things easier to control the type of documents at the counter, but certainly not in the client, the boy tries to get to the country. The other sees his job as helping clients get through this difficult process to get guidance and answers on paper, and the right line.So, ultimately, how can it be used in your company? Make sure that employees in direct contact with the client has a vision of their work, which is defined as: His work, if you decide to adopt, is to make sure he gets what he wants. You are in the company of experts in politics, and perhaps even the product technical issues in order to use these tools to facilitate, ease, getting what the customer wants.Many times the employee's responsibility is to find technical reason (in standing on the left foot, while ?..). Workers must be trained to think beyond the fact that some technical aspects of a product is damaged or not. You must ask why the customer is struggling could be in the instructions, may be buying customers to do something that was not? T is intended to do (marketing, advertising, is saying something wrong or not to say that clearly enough) and the worker must take this idea and fix the real problem, as suggested by the company to rewrite the instructions, change the product etc. . Frequently the workers must be trained to think outside the box, and assisting customers in ways that are not so obvious. Employees can better help a client if they have the ability to find a probe that is the real cause which is beyond a technique? What?

7 simple steps to help resolve complaints and delights its customers

7 simple steps to help resolve complaints and delights its customers I? Recently I had to work with a small company near where I live. What? S an accounting practice. What? S po 'a big business. Super people, working very hard and very difficult to treat their customers. However, from time to time the receipt of a complaint by the customer. And when they do, I see some interesting things to start happen.Firstly, who is injured. They are working very hard and very difficult to treat clients who are injured. Criticism is always difficult to accept that no matter how positive you try. And the harder you are working to satisfy the customer, the most profound critique of cuts.Secondly attempt to show that the customer is wrong. Probably all the companies in the world goes through this same type of problem. It would be easy to say that the customer is wrong, the client does not? I do not understand, or that the client does not? Do not do what he said or that is my her.So? He helped the people of this approach to these situations: 1. Use the client? S shoes. Very few customers unless they complain? I have a real problem. So when a customer takes the time and trouble to let you know that you? I have a problem that does not reject them.Get behind the problem. Analyzing the problem from their point of view. How did he rise? What do you expect from them? How did the reality match your expectations? What we perceive is its reality.2. The best you can get information in the form of complaints. It would be nice if each of your customers told us what a great job we were doing, but what do I do? Not help us to improve our service. Complaints tell us how we can make better.3. If a person says, then there may be ten more who are also suffering, but you do not like to complain. Thus, when the solution for a client? S problem, check to see if there are other customers who may be affected. If you can solve things for them before they complain that they ea huge loyalty.4. The management of perception is to let customers know what expect.Most situations can be presented in a very positive way that saves the client of any disappointment.Accountants have the reputation of being very formal and perhaps a little 'stuffy. This society has understood that people may feel apprehensive about coming to see an accountant first. As advertised the fact that this was a place to visit. Also came to say that customers may not pin D-band costumes! 5th Sometimes business people say that things like accounting? But I said that the customer is required to put a little 'money for taxes?, O? We write and explain that this was going to happen?. What this tells me is that, despite some efforts, no? Still not properly communicate with their customers. Many feel that the communication has to do with sending messages? write a letter, send an e-mail, leaving a message on ansaphone. But this is not communication! Communication only occurs when the same message that is sent is received and understood. If customers do not understand the communication below, the communication must be improved. And there are many ways to this.Make ensure that communication is received and understood. Emphasize that? S important and what is right for information. Use simple language. Do not try to communicate too much at once. Ask your client to ensure that they understand. Use reminders for important dates. Use combinations of telephone, letter and the client email.If No? I do not understand your communication, can only be your fault.6. Listen and act appropriately. Often, the customer simply wants to know your problem. What? He does not ask for compensation. Aware.Always you want to hear. Let the customers know? Listen again. Ask questions and make some notes. Taken seriously? this is not a good time to smile or laugh! Try to find out what the customer wants to do. Often a simple apology is not enough. Sometimes, the action is more needed.Having a complaints system is an excellent way to demonstrate to customers that their complaints are important. A special form is very important for everyone.Thank to take the trouble to do. Let them know what you want. And to accomplish his promise. Try to inform the customer, though? S is not absolutely necessary. A customer really appreciate that you did something.7. Dazzle and delight your customers. Use this as an opportunity to really make a lasting impression. Most customers more loyal, if? I had a complaint to resolve your satisfaction that never have been the first problem arose.Derek Williams is the creator of WOW! Awards?

Customer Interaction Building customer relationships

Customer Interaction Building customer relationships Depending on your business and your position, you may or may not have much direct interaction. This article is for people who have large amounts of customer interaction or be able to have customers interaction.The Customer. This simple phrase may tu some people inside the gelatine. Knees begin to tremble and you start to have a cold sweat. For certain is that the nice warm blanket of security has been snatched from them and are now completely exposed. Customer interactions can be nerve wracking, but it is not necessary. In fact, it might look like this: the experience of each customer is a new opportunity to strengthen your relationship with the client.There are many ways to build strong relationships with customers. A good starting point is to work on small things. For example, be punctual. If you have an appointment with the customer, at 10:00, there will be at 9.55 am. It is never a bad 'before, and even if it does not appear, it's one of those little things that really stick in the minds of customers. This is particularly true if the customer is usually a person committed, as their time is precious. Employed the value of the contacts that people can count on being on time, so probably have a busy schedule for the rest of day.Another good idea is to dress up or for customers of rules or standards your company, in As one is more formal. If you work in a temporary job (which most people still do), and your score is formal business dress business formal, if you have meetings with them, whatever the place of the meeting (or at your office or them). If you intend to do a professional job for your clients for whom they are likely to pay a good sum of money, he must watch the game. This will allow the customer to feel more confident that we can do the job for them, and do it well. With the number of companies operating in a small working environment still standing as well dressed can be a great bonus for you.Furthermore are informal meetings outside of official meetings with the client can really help the state as their trusted advisor . For example, are in their office for something different, if you can stop the cube or office and see how they do it.

Writing The Big Book of Customer Service

Writing The Big Book of Customer Service Q: One of the big chain bookstores recently opened next to my small library. I see my business starting to decline. Is there anything I can do to compete with the bigger store or should I accept the inevitable? - Peter QA: A wise man once said, "The inevitable is never a sure thing." Do not hurry to close the book on his work, Peter. You probably can not compete with the supermarket in the volume of inventory or prices, but there are other things you can do to help keep customers coming into your house. One of the best ways to secure customer loyalty is to offer customers service.It 's funny that you are a bookseller. Let me tell you my last visit to one of the large chain bookstores Aug. few weeks my daughter was a teenager found in the classic book, once and future king, a school project that must be done in the summer. It 'was a Sunday afteoon and the store was crawling with customers. We spent fifteen minutes scouring this great warehouse of a bookstore, but could not find the book anywhere. In addition, it could not find anyone who worked there to ask help.Finally, I was against the front and asked the apathetic teenager who wanted to save the crew if they had the book in stock. She looked at me as if I asked him to do advanced calculations in his head and said: "I do not know." I asked if he could check his computer for me. She looked at me again, this time, as if he asked me to rotate the tires on my car without a jack. After a minute of playing the keys with their long nails (which were painted black, by the way) said: "Yes, I have." "Great," I said. "Where can I find?" He looked at the screen again and said: "He says it is in the classical section. "Great," he said again. I use the word "great" many times when I'm trying to limit my strangulation of incompetent sales people. "When the classical section can be?" She did not bother to look at me or the team this time. He just shrugged and said: "No idea, man. I worked only one week. "I wanted to ask if there was someone who worked long enough to know if the # $% ^ classics section, but which has long had a dozen people behind me in line to pay for books that had somehow have found their own.I went home and ordered the book online. Is to support my bookseller.It 's a pity that his shop is not close to me, Peter. I bet that if we walked and requested a copy of the King and the future, when you could almost say the square inch that the book is on the shelves of your store. I bet that if you do not have a copy of the light will go out their way to order me.That is the best customer service is about: excellence, to meet his client. This is what will keep customers retuing to your store time and time again.Superior customer service translates into improved customer satisfaction, which leads to repeat business, which leads to the Holy Grail of retail retail retail customers loyalty.Here are some tips on how to improve customer service and promote customer loyalty: 1st Anyone on staff who deal directly with customers must be well dressed and treated appropriately for the job.

Sales personnel should be knowledgeable about the product they sell. Can not tell you how many times I asked a simple question and a seller is only a blank look in retu. The lack of knowledge of the product does nothing to instill confidence in customer.3. Your staff should know where each product, without having to ask a manager or consult a computer. At least they should be able to bring the # $% ^ classics section without blinking an eye.4. Make it a point to know the name of his client. Nothing makes a customer feel special, like the sound of his name. You can not remember the name of all, obviously, but you should try to remember the names of customers who come regularly. I REQUENTLY a particular restaurant and the owner not only knows my name, but the names of my wife and children. And every time you set foot in his restaurant that calls me by name and shake my hand and personally leads me to a table. I am not a customer. I feel like a friend.5. Offering personal service that big do not. Anything you can do to make your life easier to the customer will be remembered and appreciated. If a customer enters and asks for a book that does not have to offer and deliver the book at home so you do not have to make another trip to pick it up. All this will cost you just a few minutes of your time and not only save a sale, but also make a lasting impression to the customer.
