The Smallest Things Can Make the Biggest Difference to Your Customer Shep Hyken Interviews Chris Smoje, Founder of DIME Customer Service What can you be doing to make a big difference for your customers? Shep Hyken and Chris Smoje discuss how the smallest actions can make the greatest impact on your customers. Top Takeaways: • The DIME Customer Service approach: Deliberate Interactions Memorable Experiences • Four stages of service: You can’t have one without the other. They must all go together, like steps or levels. 1. Habitual – This goes hand-in-hand with being deliberate. Great service must be practiced all the time, and it will become habit. Great service doesn’t happen by accident. It is intentional. 2. Enjoyable – Giving customer service is like giving a gift. Doing it should bring joy. It creates a positive emotion, and the gift giver expects nothing in return. 3. Remarkable – To get customers’ attention, something remarkable must happen. This doesn’t have to be something big; it just needs to stand out. 4. Transformational – There is so much more to a sale than just making a sale. In some way or another, each interaction with a customer leads to some kind of change in their life. It goes so much deeper than just what is seen on the surface. • The five values of a service-focused team: AEIOU 1. Accountable – Every member of the team must be on the same page, and must be held accountable. 2. Energetic – In front of customers, there’s a particular way you must behave. Staff members need to bring energy into each interaction. 3. Innovative – You don’t have to have a lot of resources, or a huge staff to give great customer service. Empower the people you do have so the leadership can focus on the tasks they need to get done. 4. Optimistic – When an organization knows what it’s doing, there is clarity and purpose. It’s important to internalize and really understand what works best for you. Since customer service is a long-term game, evolution is always happening. In order to get through this, optimism is critical. 5. Unique – Leaders must be connected to their customers. This allows the leaders to understand that each customer is unique. In turn, the customers can be served better.
