Interview with Micah Solomon, author of the book Exceptional Service, Exceptional Profit: The Secrets of Building a Five-Star Customer Service Organization

 

_______________

 

Mike Carruthers:
Excellent customer service – since it’s so rare you might not be aware of it’s 4 major elements.

 

Micah Solomon:
Which is a perfect product delivered by a caring person. And the third element, because things do go wrong is some kind of resolution process.

And the final element is delivered on time. A perfect product a day later is really the equivalent of a defective product.

 

If you’re ever the recipient of lousy service and have to talk to a customer service rep, Micah has a great sentence you can use when they tell you there’s nothing they can do.

 

Say, “Absolutely I totally understand that’s your policy, that makes perfect sense but you’re the expert can you figure out a way that we could get around this problem?” If you have an absolutely intransigent person and it’s a telephone situation, call right back and the odds are good you’ll get a different employee.

 

And if you still don’t get satisfaction the Internet has made it a lot easier to get to someone at the top of the organization.

 

All of us have linked in profiles, Steve Jobs is reachable online he’s sjobs@apple.com or Steve@apple.com and you won’t reach him he’s too busy but one of his hand picked team would probably get back to you – there’s a lot more transparency these days.
