Focus on Customer Service

When your customer service is only an afterthought, it shows. Customers think long and hard before they separate themselves from their hard-earned cash, so they expect and deserve the best service to help them over the line and to ensure that they return. Good customer service means a better customer experience, therefore actively engaging with customers on social media and in person, using first names and developing a rapport with your customers and leads is essential. As a business your customer service should be the hallmark of your enterprise, so consider investing in regular training for your employees.

Ensure Product Knowledge is High

If your employees aren’t confident with your products, then neither will your customers. Intensive product training for your staff can help them pass on their knowledge to customers, identifying their concerns or queries and using that knowledge to enhance the customer experience. This also means you can deal with customer complaints effectively, which means even if something goes wrong you don’t have to lose that customer forever.

Let The Customers Do it For Themselves

Some customers prefer not to be in constant contact with employees and salespeople. So, in terms of improving the customer experience, why not give them the tools they need instead? You can still provide a world-class customer experience by providing self-service portals on your website that give customers access to all the information they need. FAQ pages, product and How-to videos, as well as multiple ways for them to get in touch, fosters a sense of independence, whilst still providing support and guidance. When shopping with you is straightforward and when customers have access to the information they need quickly, you’ll effectively enhance the customer experience.

And Finally: Gather as Much Feedback as Possible

Feedback is essential. And while you may have to take the rough with the smooth, all feedback is vital information you can use to enhance the customer experience and to learn from your mistakes. You can ask for feedback and customer opinions in a variety of ways, from telephone consultations to feedback forms on your website or via email, or just asking your customers to leave you reviews on your social media pages. Asking for this information highlights the importance you place on your customer’s opinions, something that they’ll also appreciate.
