Abstract
Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business. You can
offer promotions and slash prices to bring in as many new customers as you
want, but unless you can get some of those customers to come back, your
business won't be profitable for long.Good customer service is all about
bringing customers back. And about sending them away happy - happy
enough to pass positive feedback about your business along to others, who
may then try the product or service you offer for themselves and in their turn
become repeat customers. If you're a good salesperson, you can sell anything
to anyone once. But it will be your approach to customer service that
determines whether or not you’ll ever be able to sell that person anything else.

– a relationship that that individual customer feels that he would like to
pursue. How do you go about forming such a relationship? By remembering
the one true secret of good customer service and acting accordingly; "You will
be judged by what you do, not what you say. “I know this verges on the kind
of statement that's often seen on a sampler, but providing good customer
service IS a simple thing. If you truly want to have good customer service, all
you have to do is ensure that your business consistently does the right thing for
its customers.
