Custo­mer ser­vice

Good custo­mer ser­vice is very im­portant for any com­pa­ny. When custo­mers have a pro­blem, they want help quick­ly and ea­si­ly. A good sa­les­per­son is fri­end­ly, pa­ti­ent and hel­pful.

They have to be able to hand­le com­plaints, be­cau­se custo­mers can have is­su­es with a pro­duct's qua­li­ty or price. So­me­times custo­mers re­cei­ve wrong or da­ma­ged items or they are un­hap­py and want a re­fund.

If a com­pa­ny gives good ser­vice, custo­mers are more li­kely to be sa­tis­fied and stay loyal. That’s why good custo­mer ser­vice is key to suc­cess.
