Customer Service
What is Customer Service?
Customer service is the support and assistance provided by a business or organization to its customers before, during, and after they have made a purchase.
The primary goal of customer service is to help customers resolve their problems, answer their questions, and ensure their satisfaction with the product or service they have purchased.
Customer service can be provided through a variety of channels, including phone, email, chat, in-person interactions, and self-service tools like FAQs and online help centers. Good customer service is essential for building strong relationships with customers, improving customer loyalty, and increasing revenue through repeat business and positive word-of-mouth recommendations.

Information Gathering
In this step, the customer service representative asks relevant questions to gather information about the customer's needs and concerns.

Troubleshooting or Problem-Solving
The representative uses the information gathered to diagnose the customer's problem and provides a solution or a course of action.
-
Communication of Solution
The representative communicates the solution or course of action to the customer.
-
Implementation
The solution is implemented, and the representative ensures that the customer's problem is resolved or their question is answered.
-
Follow-up
After the solution has been implemented, the representative follows up with the customer to ensure that the problem has been resolved to their satisfaction.
