Customer Service from the Heart! Alphabet game customer service

~ Debbie (“Mrs.”) Fields Customer service doesn’t come from a manual, it comes from the heart. When you’re taking care of customers, you can never do too much. And there is NO wrong way-if it comes from the heart. ~ Debbie (“Mrs.”) Fields Our Customers are the heart of our business! Parents, Children and as a Manager even our Teachers are our Customers! Happy Teachers = Happy Children = Happy Parents! This starts with you! You cannot mandate customer service Management can train, threaten, punish, reward, cajole, and yet if an employee does not want to give good service, it simply will not happen. Giving good service involves creative, “out of the box” thinking.  Those who give the best service do so by offering options, alternatives, and new ways of doing things. They give their employees and families more than they expect when they least expect it and they ALWAYS meet the customer’s human need for kindness, respect, and understanding. What does this mean to you as a manager? Training, rewards, threats and policies are not enough. First, you must hire wisely, and second, you must model the qualities you desire in your employees as you interact with them. How are you treating YOUR customers? Kathy
