Platinum Service Starts with Leaders
“…Leaders give to a Platinum Service culture by demonstrating care for others, a shared purpose, values, and expected behaviors of the overarching service mission…Establish a culture where everyone matters…When employees feel connected, supported, and valued, conditions are suitable for commitment and growth.” Simon T. Bailey
See Them as Guests
“You have to unlearn what you’ve been taught about customer service and begin to see people – all of them – as guests, rather than customers, employees, or suppliers.” Simon T. Bailey
Personalize the Experience
“Simply meeting demands and sticking to a tried-and-true formula won’t cut it these days. Your customers have unique and varied personalities, so your customer service approach has to be uniquely personalized to suit each one.” Simon T. Bailey
Anticipate and Uncover Needs
“Your customers have two types of needs: Spoken and Unspoken. When you’re able to anticipate what a customer might do based on who they are and what they may be concerned about, you create a branded moment.” Simon T. Bailey
Respond Immediately
“Responding with immediate and appropriate service is about seizing each moment to go above and beyond to fulfill a need.” Simon T Bailey
Keep them Loyal Through Kindness
“Do you know how valuable loyal customers are? Loyal customers are worth up to ten times the amount they spend on their first purchase.” Simon T. Bailey
