\nExplain the importance of effective communications in a customer service environment. (150 words Minimum)<\/div>\n

Communication is a key part to any effective business. Without
\ncommunication, the business will lack a healthy foundation. For example,
\n if I owned my own business and had my workers sign an agreement to
\nagree to a schedule being closed on Sunday, but my co-owner was unaware
\nof this policy, and had the workers work on Sunday, this would be a
\ndisaster in the work environment. While that seems like a simple example
\n and fix, it is a crack in the foundation. Companies that have spotty
\ncommunication will miss things they need to work on because
\ncommunication is the biggest key to all efficiencies. When there is a
\nlack of communication, there is a lack of interest to make anything
\nbetter. <\/p>\n

In my current job, we must communicate effectively to the agents who
\nsupport the consumer. The reason this is so important is because if the
\ninformation that is given is faulty or not complete, we end up having a
\nbad customer experience and that can cause greater issues down the line.
\n Having all the information available to the agent and easily given to
\nthe customer will help with the overall experience. <\/p>\n

Commincation is key!<\/p>\n

To run a successful business, you need customers. Without them, you
\nwill not have a business. Keeping them is the next priority. People have
\n many choices nowadays and how you treat them can easily make or break
\nyour business. Communication from both the customer and business is key.
\n You have to be clear and concise in what you say, and continually
\nprovide great customer service because all it takes is one bad time for a
\n customer to say \u2013 no more, not going back. Making sure you listen to
\nthe customer and let them know they are valued as a customer. If they do
\n not feel valued, they will not come back.<\/p>\n

I worked from home for a transcription company and it had the most
\nineffective communication I have ever seen and dealt with. This company
\nhad thousands of accounts all over the U.S. A few years ago, the company
\n was hit with a Malware attack that brought the company to its knees. We
\n could not transcribe anything but the doctors could still dictate as
\nthat software was on a different platform, so work was coming in but
\nnone was going out. In the end, the company lost almost $100 million in
\nrevenue. For over a month we had no nothing from them \u2013 no calls, no
\nemails. If you called and got through, you got the standard \u201cjust hang
\non, we are working on it.\u201d That does not pay bills so a lot of people
\nwent to other companies. When the system finally did come back up, it
\nwas a new system we had no training on, management never apologized, but
\n they did make a lot of empty promises on pay and overtime so that we
\nwould work to get caught up. After all of those empty promises and not
\nfollowing through on them, a lot of us left permanently. I can also say
\nthat it was not just employees who left, but long term clients who had
\nno faith in their company anymore.<\/p>\n

How you treat your employees or even your customers counts if you
\nwant to retain them. You want to make sure that effective communication
\nis done so that the client feels valued. Be clear and concise in how you
\n deal with them. Don\u2019t be afraid to tell them the truth, treat them with
\n respect. In the end, you want customer loyalty and your customer to
\nstay.<\/p>\n
