Laurie’s Hot Tips:

Laurie Brown_Headshot_2-5-131. Make is easy for your customer to do business with you. Look at all your customer touchpoints and simplify the processes and procedures around them.

2. Remember, “People have infinite patience, but no tolerance for being ignored.” Greet your customer immediately, even if you are with another customer. A simple nod or “I will be right with you” can have a huge impact.

3. Consider yourself lucky if a customer complains to you. They are giving you a chance to win them back. Listen, trust, empathize, own the problem and fix the problem as quickly as you can.

Job Duties vs. Opportunities

“That’s not my job.” I’ve heard this phrase uttered way too much in the workplace during my career. The sentence is usually being shot off like a gun intended to blast anyone else in the vicinity of the person’s ire. People tend to have a narrow view of what their job duties entail, and they […]

Don’t Lose Your Head

There are people who drive you absolutely bonkers (I feel your pain), and make you lose your cool at work. They don’t “do the work” and expect other people to cover for them, they’re constantly running their mouths all day instead of actually doing their work, they play their music through speakers instead of ear […]
