36 Beware of other s perceptions
37 Cinderella s Fountain
38 Defining Customer Service: the Customer s Perception is Our Reality Customer service must always be defined from the customer s perspective. In fact, we need to remember, the customer s perception is our reality. Service is not a one-time event; one has to work hard at it. It is only as good as the last encounter. It is a production and it goes on stage every day at the same time, and it s live. There s no practicing; there s no rehearsing. We ve all heard the phrase, You never get a second chance to make a first impression. The first thirty seconds sets the tone for the entire experience. Caring is the golden key. You have to care that your students get the best service and the best value, and that they have the best time they could possibly have. We spend a lot of time and money on training and retraining our employees about the importance of customer service, but we really never tell them how simple it can be. In fact, it s very simple: All you have to be is hospitable. Being hospitable is the act or practice of receiving strangers in a friendly and generous way. When you really think about it, It s the small things in life that are big. -- William Orilio is CEO of GRANTHAM, ORILIO & ASSOCIATES INC., a San Diego based hospitality consulting company.
39 You re the customer Share your most memorable customer service experience over the past month. Outstanding Customer Service Situation: (adjectives) Unsatisfactory Customer Service: (adjectives) What are the common experiences from both positive and negative experiences?
40 Finding the Right Surprise and Delight
41 Discussion Share ideas and thoughts Share things that have worked Share things that haven t worked
42 Suggestions to help improve customer service: View the student as a customer - - without them, there would be no job. Offer customer service training - - don t assume people know how to provide quality services. Allow individuals to be creative and innovative - - implement new suggestions and ideas so that everyone feels they are a part of the process achieve buy-in/ownership. Empower your employees! Remember, people view their employment differently - - some view it as a profession and some as just a job share with the employees the importance of viewing it as a profession - - try to increase the person s self-worth and professional development. Most college offices are consistently being asked to do more with less. It is up to each office to re-evaluate its policies and procedures and determine what areas might be automated/changed/modified to make it easier for students, families and staff. Get the various departments out of their boxes - - let others on campus see people doing things away from the office [Remember, it s all about perception!] Good customer service is the product of close attention to important details employees must have the knowledge, listen carefully, build relationships and look for solutions.
43 Customer Service - - Best Practices/Ideas: Have a positive and service-oriented attitude while at work! Leave your troubles at home. Greet everyone with a smile on your face, even when you answer the phones (it will make a difference)! Be responsive and courteous to all customers (students, families, faculty, staff and the community). Present accurate, concise and complete information to everyone. Provide personalized attention, assistance and service to each student. Treat everyone with respect! Explain possible alternatives, so even a negative answer can be a positive one! Speak clearly and accurately; keep it simple and easy to understand! Listen with empathy and show genuine concern! Know and understand the policies and regulations. Respond to questions and process information promptly follow through on issues! Offer accessible and flexible services. Go above and beyond as an advocate for students. Teamwork, communication with other departments and cross-training - - serve the campus with a unified voice.
