Things to avoid in customer service
Interacting with customers and meeting their needs is important and if the customer service provided is not up to par, it can lead to a negative customer experience, which can harm the reputation of the business.
Here are certain behaviors that businesses should avoid in order to provide excellent customer service:
1. Being unprofessional. This includes using inappropriate language, behaving in a hostile or aggressive manner, or engaging in other behaviors that are unbecoming of a professional. In customer service, it is important for employees to maintain a professional demeanor at all times, even when faced with challenging or difficult situations.
2. Making promises that can’t be kept. Do not promise a certain outcome, delivery time, or level of service that is not feasible or realistic. When an employee makes a promise that cannot be kept, it can damage the trust and credibility of the business. This is because the customer may feel that they have been misled or given false hope, which can lead to frustration and disappointment. Be honest and realistic.
3. Ignoring customer feedback. You’ll miss out on the opportunity to improve your products, services, or processes if you ignore customer feedback, which causes customers to feel that their opinions and experiences are not valued by the business, leading to negative perceptions and reviews. And so businesses should establish channels for collecting and responding to feedback, such as surveys, comment cards, or online reviews.

This can help create a welcoming and inclusive environment that fosters long-term customer loyalty and satisfaction.
