Customers like to buy from people they like. How do you get people to like you? Well, you must be honest and reliable. You must offer fair and competitive pricing, and you must be competent and friendly. However, there's more to it than being well liked when it comes to satisfied customers. In this course, we'll look at the FedEx Corporation and their approach to customer satisfaction. Through their creation of Service Quality Indicators (SQIs), FedEx has the ability to discover what their customers value the most. We'll discuss how to apply their system to your customers.

Now that you understand what Service Quality Indicators are, and you know what your customers expect of you, it's time to figure out what's important to your customers BEYOND the SQI. If you ask them, "Why are you in business?", the answer is usually pretty simple: to make money! This course will take you through the different ways to generate revenue, so your customers see you as a tool to help them reach their business goals.

We've covered Service Quality Indicators and the things that you can do to increase your customers' revenue. The final component to providing valuable customer service is helping your customers decrease expenses.

How's your customer satisfaction doing? Are you improving or declining? Holding steady? How do you know? You might THINK you're doing well, but you don't REALLY know. Do you? So let's fix that!

You may not realize how your customers view your company until you ASK them. One of the more popular ways of doing this is to gather feedback by conducting surveys. There are many different types of survey methods: phone, email, online - and even more reasons why a business might conduct them.

According to Pew Research, 24% of American adults post comments or reviews online. The Touch Agency tells us that there are something like a MILLION tweets regarding customer service every single week. Of those tweets, nearly 80% of them are negative. Entrepreneur Magazine states that 38% of users who shared or favorite an item on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest went on to purchase the item. What does this mean for your company?

Gathering feedback from your customers is great, but it's not enough. After you've created focus groups and advisory boards, or created surveys, you have to DO something with the feedback! Loyal customers can be worth up to 10 times as much as their initial purchase, and using what they tell you about your company is a great way to create loyal customers.
