Get in-sync with customers

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.
