We have all experienced it and we don’t like it – bad customer service.  For instance, you are receiving no attention or respect from the cashier at your local grocery store, you are patiently waiting for someone to call you back from a voice message you left days ago or you’re trying to make contact with someone regarding an online purchase that does not meet your satisfaction.  We are faced with what appears to be a new casual level of customer service; it makes no difference whether the transaction is online or offline.  We all complain about this lack and we usually don’t complain just to ourselves.  In comparison, when we experience great customer service, we rejoice and tell others.

A much overlooked marketing strategy for business owners striving to differentiate themselves from the rest of their market is this small but powerful concept – provide excellent customer service.  Develop the old, but tried and true mindset of dealing with present and potential customers – “the customer is always right”.

I pride myself on the fact that I strive to provide excellent customer service in everything I do from the initial phone call inquiring about services at VBS Virtual Assist to the extra mile taken when completing a customer’s project.
