When it comes to looking after our customers, quite often there's a gap - a huge gap between theory and practice. There are books about customer relations, there are videos about customer relations, and there are Gurus (mostly self-appointed) about customer relations. None of them actually have to deliver customer relations. That chore is left to what was known in the last two World Wars as the PBI - as in "Poor B....y Infantry"- the foot soldiers. The front line people - your front line people. So what do they make of it all?
You know about Pareto's Law - I discuss it often enough - yes that one, the one that says 80% of the business comes from 20% of the customers? Well, it (almost) applies in this case. More than 80% of front line staff haven't yet totally bought into the idea of effective customer relations. The other 20% have discovered a very enriching way of achieving a satisfactory outcome from interactions with customers.
In other words, most of the time, they succeed! And when they succeed, the customers actually thank them!
This can't be about you - can it?
