Answer questions simply
- Different individual needs to be treated accordingly. Give required and simple answers to individual questions. Where you need to elaborate and give details on questions asked you do, but if not really necessary, give simple and understandable answers . Don't drag out issues but make sure effective communication takes place and the customer is satisfied and happy at the end.

Being Natural
- In my view it entails being Your Natural Humble Self. Be comfortable with Your Unique Positive Personality, not trying to please anyone by trying to put up a false identity. For instance, a client that has been to UK comes visiting; don't lie that you have been to the U.S.A. just to impress and put up a front.

Happy Happy Customers
- When I have a scenario where the customer is having any type of inconvenience, I put myself in the customer's shoes and I try to do my best as quickly as possible in order to find a resolution for the customer's needs by approaching the customer and acknowledging the customer's situation.

Be Cultural and Sensitive
- Be cultural and traditional sensitive to how elders, couples, ladies, gents and young ones are welcomed, talked to and treated in a particular society. This makes them feel cared for and can easily create a good rapport between customers and sellers. For example the way a certain waiter stood and talked to my father made me hate the restaurant.

Customer Service
- If the customer asks about the other brands of the same commodity, please don't pass any negative comments on the competitors' products and also don't blame them. Say what is in the products and their feasibility.

Tips on how to handle an irate customer
- The best way to handle an irate customer is to listen. Listening is the way to let the customer express his/her complaints. Then, let him/her feel that he/she is special and address his/her problem accordingly.

What about the introverted customer?
- What about the customer who walks into the place, does not make eye contact and does not offer any communication with employees? What is the best way to serve these people? This is often overlooked in these articles but knowing this stuff is important. It would seem to me that if they don't look in my direction when they enter, I should not yell out a greeting at them as it may annoy them or cause them to turn right around. If they know exactly what they want then they will get it and proceed to the counter. That is where you get a chance to greet and try to make the customer feel welcome. The worst thing you can do for Mr grumps is get in his face with an over-eager attitude when he just wants to be left alone.

Great article
- I enjoyed this very much, especially the part about it being a relationship. This is exactly what I like to stress. Every customer service experience is part of building a relationship and takes more than the employee to pull off.

Connecting with Customers Genuinely
- I think the most important part of customer service is to connect with customers personally on a human level. So it's not really customer service per se, it's customer engagement.

Starting Small but Thinking Big
- Super informative, and I can tell that this is targeted to more hands-on, personalized service by an owner or a manager. But just as important is when you start delegating customer service to two or three staff. That's when Customer Service Management comes in. And people who have had this experience will tell you that it's not that easy to communicate your vision to your employees!
