Putting
The Service Back In Customer
Service
by Sean Cohen
|
|
The future of customer service is here. Technology
has made seeking out support faster and easier
than ever. But, has your digital age company
sacrificed true service in the name of automation?
Today,
finding customer support is as simple as writing
an e-mail or picking up the phone. But, even
though youre not face-to-face with your
customers, you still leave a lasting impression.
Do you come across as caring and competent,
or menacing and mechanical?
Offering
stand-out service on the Internet isnt
as hard as it is rare. Take these simple steps
towards old-style service in the digital age:
Give
Each Customer a Personal Response
When a customer sits down to e-mail your company,
its because he needs help. He chooses
e-mail because its quick, but his request
still warrants a satisfying and personal response!
Companies
eager to save time and money often take automation
too far in their customer support. Each customer
has a unique question, and deserves a unique
answer. Even if you save time by copying and
pasting stock replies, change the opening and
closing to make the message sound less robotic.
Be
Clear, But Sincere
When responding to customers e-mail, be
sincere and to the point. Before sending a message,
try turning the tables. Ask yourself, Would
this answer satisfy me if I were the customer?
Take
that extra moment to give your customer the
help he deserves. It might mean the difference
between a satisfied customer and a credit card
chargeback!
Offer
Live Customer Support
E-mail has become an acceptable form of communication.
But, live customer support is still necessary.
The plethora of information available online
can be overwhelming to customers, especially
those new to the Internet!
Single
your company out from the crowd by providing
customers with a real person to talk to. Live
phone support is an invaluable way to foster
trust. When your customer has reached the end
of his Internet rope, and just needs help, your
toll free number is the answer hes looking
for.
Make
Sure Your Support Reps Have All The Answers
The presence of phone support will do no good
if your staff doesnt know your product!
Customer support reps should be warm and friendly,
and willing to help with any aspect of your
product.
What
a good feeling it is to talk to someone who
feels confident in his product. Its even
better if hes knowledgeable enough to
solve your problem without transferring you
all around the company!
Provide
Stand-Out Service; Gain Lifelong Customers
Too many e-businesses skimp on customer service,
hiding behind web sites and message boards.
Customer support is an integral part of every
company, even those operating solely online.
Be one of the few to offer stellar service,
and gain customers for life!

A
New Breed Of Autoresponder, Auto Message Setup
Posted by Tom Kulzer (AWeber
CEO)
|
The concept of the follow up autoresponder revolutionized
Internet Marketing. Now, Auto
Message Setup promises to bring the
field an even greater degree of efficiency.
This
recent innovation lets experienced marketers
painlessly transfer marketing know-how to their
entire downlines. A marketer can now provide
each of his downline representatives with a
follow up autoresponse system that is already
packaged with the marketers pre-written
messages.
The
result? Just a few minutes of work on the part
of an experienced marketer, and each of his
reps is set up with the same tried and true
marketing
messages.
Case
Study:
Marketer Matt and the New Breed
For example, take a look at the case of a fictional
network marketer named Matt M:
For
years, Matt has been successfully marketing
All Natural Pharmaceuticals using a follow up
autoresponder. In fact, much of his success
can be attributed to the set of seven messages
e-mailed to all of his potential customers.
Matt has carefully crafted those messages over
the years, and theyre really great.
Recently,
Matt has been trying to pass what hes
learned along to his downline representatives.
He explains his marketing principles over the
phone, and he knows that several of his reps
pass his follow up messages around amongst themselves.
However,
Matt finds that his pearls of wisdom rarely
survive this telling and retelling
intact. He knows his reps arent getting
anywhere near what they could out of his knowledge.
He wishes there were a way to harness todays
technology, and put it to use for the greater
good of his downline
Enter
Auto Message Setup
Using
an Auto Message Setup system, Matts
downline reps can order their own follow up
autoresponse accounts that are already packaged
with Matts pre-written messages. They
can reap the fruits of Matts experience
with ease.
Each
rep will customize Matts messages for
himself by logging in to his new follow up autoresponder
account, and entering his own contact information.
Here
is Matts original autoresponse message:
Hi
LEAD NAME,
Thanks
for stopping by the All Natural Pharmaceuticals
web site today! We hope you come back soon!
Best
Regards, Matt M.
matt@all-natural-pharma.com 918 Awl St.
Natural,
PA 22314
Notice that the message greeting uses a variable,
(LEAD NAME). The variable ensures that each
of Matts leads will receive a message
personalized with his or her own name. Notice,
also, that Matts name and address are
at the end of the message.
Case
Study: Downline Dan and the New Breed
Dan is one of Matts downline representatives.
Hes ordered his own follow up autoresponder
through Matt. Since Matt is using Auto Message
Setup, Dans account came pre-packaged
with Matts marketing messages. Dan personalized
those messages to himself by answering a few
questions in his Online Control Panel. Now Dan
is sending his own personalized version of Matts
messages to his customers! All of the basic
content is Matts, but Dans contact
information is on the letters. Here is the autoresponse
that Dan sends to his potential customers:
Hi,
LEAD NAME
Thanks
for stopping by the All Natural Pharmaceuticals
web site today! We hope you come back soon!
Best
Regards, Dan D.
dan@pharma-ceuticals.com 5 Farm Way
Sootuh, TN 88457
Notice that the contact name and address at
the end of the e-mail are Dans, but that
the greeting at the beginning of the message
still includes the name of Dans lead.
Mission
Accomplished
With Matts experience in hand, Dan is
now marketing more successfully than ever before.
And he isnt the only one - Matts
entire downline is now using his marketing messages!
Matts commissions are growing exponentially.
Matt
and Dans situation is not unique. Any
network marketer with an established downline
can take advantage of the opportunities available
in an auto message setup system. Theres
no better way to put
more auto in your autoresponder.
