Anytime you enter a retail store or dine at a restaurant, we bet you have some very definite expectations, one of which is to have a pleasant interaction with the staff. And as the world’s most successful brands know, in order to meet that expectation they need to provide both staff training and staff motivation to make that happen.

But whether or not a customer is asking you to take them to the Moon or provide a simple reporting apparatus, your business needs to be able to meet their expectations in at least some manner, or risk the consequences. So in the cases where a customer is asking for something you can't provide, whether that's faster response times or new features (or a trip to the Moon with Wallace and Gromit), your business needs to

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how sales and customer service combine to create an experience – hopefully a positive one. And then, by coincidence, one of our loyal subscribers, Heidi Reslow, shared a story about someone buying a new car. As I read the story, I realized the salesperson didn’t just sell a car.

Customer service used to be viewed as the final link in the overall chain of customer touch points, a responsibility relegated to a department, contact center or automated attendant that would respond to complaints and (hopefully) eventually make things right. Most companies now recognize that customer service is much bigger than a single function that operates primarily in a reactive manner.

They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels. And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.
