Is it us, or does it seem that when you’re visiting places, be it a shop, markets, supermarket or restaurants or even just visiting the local shop on the corner, we seem to have lost the very basic of Customer Service skills?

We all work hard for our money! So when we choose to visit an establishment to spend our money we like to think there’s a small amount of gratitude (even if it’s superficial), and we like to be made to feel like a valued customer, in some small way. Sometimes it’s just a smile of recognition, or eye contact from the person serving me, or even verbal interaction would be nice. (If someone told us 10 years ago we would be blogging about this, we would have thought them quite mad!)

We seem to believe if these ‘Customer Service Professionals’ (no matter what the title is, when one comes into contact with customers, and they’re offering a professional service, then guess what job they are also doing?)  just knew who their customer was, took the time to think about who they are, what they want and when (and how) they want it, they might find that having the interaction with the customer, might possibly lead to a satisfying experience for all concerned, and who knows, it might help to have an enjoyable day in the workplace!

We think you’ll find the eBook quite fascinating as it joins the journey of a customer. The insights and observations may astound you, but ultimately, we hope it helps people understand we are all people, wanting (almost) the same things out of life.
