Customer service is a task to fulfill the customer’s satisfaction. Dealing correctly with our customer’s needs about a product or service is a key factor in establishing a company’s reputation and brand.

POSITIVE FIRST IMPRESSION

Let the caller with a positive first impression. Greet the caller correctly, state the answer phrase correctly, set a proper expectation, be confident, friendly, and professional by applying your knowledge on the accounts and the system.

BE HONEST

Remember to state to the caller what you can do to help him/her, and how are you going to do it. The main way to do this is to set a strong and clear expectation.

BE PROFESSIONAL
