It turns out that companies go out of their way to train their employees to memorize greetings, sales pitches and apologies, while customers want genuine answers. In fact, according to the aforementioned study, 83% of consumers consider that talking to a person will always be important in customer service. In addition, the more complex the problem to be solved, the greater the need for personal treatment. So when you talk to your customers, try to make the communication as “face to face” as possible. Be sure to use their names, use humor if appropriate, and be polite but natural. Showing empathy will go a long way in connecting with your customers. Do not miss any opportunity: all interactions allow you to attract and retain customers. And little by little, the repeated interactions build the relationship.
