Your last great experience?
Can you remember your last great experience? I thought I could quote mine - but after a great first interaction the company let themselves down on every future action! I think every company has an element of great service - but is it consistent? Is it reliant on key members of staff or embedded in the culture of the organisation?With increasing expectations and the ability to tell the world what you are thinking, ensuring that your customers come away happy is now essential to the business strategy. With the increase reliance on technology, the personal touch can be lost, with the processes driving the experience and not the customer!Take time to listen to your customers, not just on ‘tick sheet’ questionnaires, but talk them about what it feels like to be a customer, what are their motivations and issues. A recent conversation with an outpatient identified that his biggest concern was ‘being forgotten‘ how simple to solve by staff just reassuring the waiting patient!
