Customer Service
Successful organizations realize that customer service is at the core of their success and consequently must be at the core of their mission. Unfortunately, this does not automatically imply that customers at such organizations are having a positive customer experience. A recent survey found that 80% of companies believe they are providing customer experience of a superior quality. However, when customers of those same companies were surveyed, only 8% agreed with those claims (HBR, 2005). Clearly, customer service is an area that requires more attention, especially the kind of attention that places greater emphasis on understanding and listening to the customers. This course aims to reinforce the significance of customer service as a precondition to the success of any organization. Special emphasis is placed on understanding customers, creating a work culture that is customer service-oriented, and reviewing intuitive and not-so-intuitive customer service skills. The content is applicable to employees in many kinds of organizations, from commercial firms to educational institutions.
