How to Resolve Government Customer Complaints
Maintain good relations with your government customers and keep them happy with great service
In the private sector, customers can choose the organizations with which they do business. In government, they have far fewer choices. That doesn’t mean that they are not both informed and vocal about their expectations and experiences, and what government customers lack in choice they make up for in avenues for expressing their opinions. Maintaining good relationships is important for your office, in terms of public image and funding. What are you doing to make sure your customers’ expectations are met…and exceeded?
Whether you interact with customers face to face or over the phone, you are your organization's representative. Even though customers' perceptions are primarily based on interpersonal interaction with front-line employees, very little attention is placed on training employees in appropriate customer management. It is crucial that every employee understands how to effectively handle confrontations, objections and bad attitudes in order to keep customers content. This course can help!
Are you driving your customers crazy?
One of the most-often cited complaints among unhappy customers is an attitude of indifference on the part of the people providing service. It takes only seven seconds for customers to form 11 impressions about you and your organization. If your customers don't feel like you care about them, they will go elsewhere. Lack of training on how to make customer-centered decisions can hinder your ability to make a good first impression and leave your customers feeling undervalued.
If a customer is unhappy, it's imperative that you rectify the problem immediately. A customer who has a negative experience means more than just a damaged relationship. On average, an unhappy customer tells three people, who each tell three more people, creating a wide-spread trickle-down effect that could damage your organization's credibility and its reputation. However, a customer won back after a negative experience is a customer for life.
