Get in-sync with Customers – Boost Customer Relations

Transforming Frontline Interactions to Boost your Customer Relations

Managers often expect front line employees to be friendly and upbeat with customers. While this is often a good approach, problems arise when customers are in a hurry or physically fatigued. Rushed, tired customers don’t want to deal with employees who are too “chatty” or “perky.” It’s a turn-off. Managers would get better results by teaching employees to “mirror” the non-verbal communication style of the customer. Mirroring, when properly done, enables employees to create instant rapport – no matter what the customer’s mood.

Today’s chuckle:

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
