You are the difference maker when it comes to delivering an exceptional customer service experience. You have the ability to develop the skills, seek out the knowledge, and establish the confidence engage customers in a more personal and meaningful way.
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. When someone contacts your company for the first time – whether via telephone, Internet, or in person – remember just how important that first impression can be. Making that stranger feel wanted and appreciated can turn him or her into a lifetime advocate for your service or product offerings, whether he buys or not.
