Customer Service Strategy For
Successful Business
Customer Service Strategy – Successful civilizations of service are created by creating a strategy for customer service. An essential step toward achieving business goals is integrating customer service into employee goals.
It takes time, energy and focus to
establish a customer service plan, but it can help companies build the
framework for a culture that values and understands the customer.
Connect through Social Media
Like it or not, social networks are
here to stay and you need to find ways that work for you. Their clients use
social networks to comment on their business and read their opinions from their
friends and acquaintances. To be aware of your company’s rumors, you need to be
aware of social media channels like Twitter and Facebook. Are there any good
reviews or complaints you get? Interact with customers, give them thanks for
their positive comments and support and fix any grievances immediately.
Treat grievances as an opportunity for
public relations and use social networks to initiate a conversation: inform the
client and his customers what you are going to do to solve any problem. To your
benefit, you can undo any negative comments.
And go beyond using social networks
simply to respond so react, using these stations intentionally to create more
value and excitement for your client. Provide tips and feedback on how to use
your product, highlight unique customers and make your presence known to
current and potential social media customers.
Recognize that a satisfied customer
(and employee) is not a loyal customer.
Keep in mind that a happy customer (and
a member of staff) is not a faithful client.
A lot of companies make a big mistake;
thinking they want satisfied customers. “Satisfactory” is a grade,
and for that, an acceptable grade. Loyalty is more of a bond, an emotion: a
feeling that a customer or employee enjoys interactions with consistent and
supportive customers and a sense of trust in the business. Focus on better than
good, better than average. Be so good about becoming loyal to customers and
employees.
Customer Service Vision
The first step in creating a service
plan is sharing the vision of a solid service culture. Leadership helps
employees understand their responsibility and role in achieving service goals
by sharing the vision. For example, companies that have a clear service culture
philosophy and invest in-service training have an advantage over firms that do
not educate workers on how to solve customer issues.
Don’t forget the basics
In your attempt to meet clients
using the latest technology, don’t let the proven customer service fundamentals
diminish. Continue to develop the customer-centered culture by hiring the right
people, adequately educating them and efficiently managing them.
Consider customer requirements
We must consider customer expectations
in order for companies to be able to fulfil their customers ‘ needs. Speaking
to consumers and getting information about goods and services is a crucial
aspect of determining needs. The assessment of customer needs is achieved by
seeking feedback through a number of platforms, such as comment cards, focus
groups or surveys of satisfaction. When reviews have been collected, a plan must
be established not only to meet but also to surpass customer expectations.
Failure by businesses is very common since they thought they knew what their
customers wanted. Making goods and solutions without having consumer feedback
is a waste of time and money. The trick is to figure out what the customer
wants and to develop a strategy for getting there. Keep in mind that
preferences are continually changing and what a customer wants today can be
very different from what a customer wants a few years later.
Learning service
Most people are of course good at
dealing with customers, but all workers will benefit from technical education
about the specific approach to customer service courses that a company takes.
That type of training would include realistic standards of employee actions in
many situations regarding the best way to meet customer requirements. Above
all, how:
- Respond to customers
- Answer the mobile
- customer service guidelines
- Respond to complaints from customers.
- Recovery of facilities
- These are important elements of a customer service program.

Buyer Order
Initially we were given fourteen carton dimensions.
Accordingly we imported the paper complying those dimensions to avoid high
wastages. But we are receiving buyer order in of cartons in more than
40 different dimensions.
Many locals in Redmond believe that growth, for the sake of growth, is a political disease. They are right. We must make sure our physical and sociological impact is kept to a minimum, and that locals maintain the quality way of life they deserve. As the cartons are made using Automatic corrugation machine, for each different dimensions, we have to change the paper rolls and change the corrugation arrangements like cutting, creasing, etc. For such each changes, a minimum time of one hour is lost. In addition, your carton orders ranges from 3 pcs to pcs. 700 – 800 pcs. We have received even 7 different dimensions in only 45 pcs of carton orders. To produce the varied dimensions, each time about 100 meter boards are wasted which is mandatory. This 100 meter wastage is applicable for 1 pc or 5000 pcs – same!
As the carton quantity by your vendors are so small, we
cannot load in one full truck. As such, under your vendor’s pressure, we are
transporting cartons in different trucks with few cartons in different
destinations causing high transport costs. One truck accommodates 2500 to 3000
pcs of carton but the rent is same even if we transport only 200- 300 pcs a
truck.
Like other buyers , we request to standardize the carton
dimensions in fixed sizes. In that case, we will be able to produce the carton boxes
avoiding production loss and high wastages.
To avoid the high transport cost caused by small quantity of
deliveries, we request to give us 10 days lead time so that after production,
we can get time to consolidate your different vendors carton boxes in full
trucks.
Operating Porcedure for Buyer Order
The below is our SOP of handling the FACTORY orders:-
- Upon delivery settlement between Trims factory

name, required delivery, BTL actual delivery, delay/on time delivery etc.

basis in the evening after day’s deliveries are complete.

inform which item, we will do and what not.

5 ps of marketing
Product: In the aspect of 5 ps of Marketing quality the products are of good quality. In the core category the shirts and trousers represent world class quality standards. The brand name is excellent, packaging is well designed, styles of the products are of western mark, fabric quality is also up to the standard, the other features like collar lining, stitches per inches, sleeve cuts, bottom button holes, trademark pockets, seams, plackets and interlining are of international benchmark.

Price: 5 ps of Marketing -Due to the high import tax barriers the prices of the products have become almost three times than the purchase cost. This has taken our products to a price range which stands as the most critical obstacle in gaining customer acceptability. As the same brands are widely available in the local retail stores at a much lower price the brand could not achieve the market acceptance it had anticipated for.
Place: In the aspect of location selection we have failed to identify the best locations for our business. Low foot falls accompanied by lack of cooperation form the market premises owners have made some of our out lets simply obsolete.
Promotion: The irregular promotional programs were not well designed and monitored. So there have been serious non-continuous errors in launching and supporting phases of the previous promotional campaigns. The basic objectivity of offering two separate out let identities like Planet Fashion and Peter England were crucial mistakes by the management. So none of them could gain strong foot hold among the target segments.
People: Lack of coordination, proper product oriented training, absence of any sort of target oriented environment, incentive based salary structure has turned AUTO ’s current business into a chronic case of “Planning Failure”. As a result of that, over the years , corruption, financial mis -apportionments, breaking up of the chain of commands, and lower employee morale has turned the HR system into a negative bottleneck.
Financial department’s negligence: In every company the responsibilities of carrying out regular inventory for products in the show rooms lies with the finance and accounts department. Failure to conduct a regular product inventory both software wise and physical inventory have resulted in the creation of opportunities for sales assistants to become involved in mis-chiefs.
Learn from our mistakes
In the pursue of 5 ps of Marketing the PE manufacturing options we don’t want to repeat those mistakes. Proper product strategies supported by the right pricing policies should be well offered to the customers in the right locations. If we can attain these all with a coordinated and well planned promotional strategy then we do believe that PE is going to be the strongest retail ware brand for men in Bangladesh with an excellent market share.
Assumptions 5 ps of Marketing
After the first year sell will increase 25%
After the second year sell will increase 25%
At the first year advertising & promotional cost will be
30% of the revenue
At the second year advertising & promotional cost will
be 15% of the revenue
At the third year advertising & promotional cost will be
12% of the revenue
An international brand like Peter England (PE) will gain 28% market on the first year. Proper product strategies supported by the right pricing policies should be well offered to the customers in the right locations. If we can attain these all with a coordinated and well planned promotional strategy then we do believe that PE is going to be the strongest retail ware brand for men in Bangladesh with an excellent 5 ps of Marketing share.
