Strategic Customer Service

PsychTools for Building Loyal Clients

One person is often the face of your company—the customer service professional who answers that phone. An EDS executive recently told me of needing hearing aids, and being directed by the audiologist toward a particular brand. He commented that they must have the best product to earn her endorsement. No, the audiologist said, “There is a company making a better product, but I’ve had so many clients complain about their customer service, I’ll never recommend them again. Ouch.
