Customer Service Week: Listen, Act or Learn to Like the Taste of Insects

While you observe Customer Service Week, please take the time do this:

2. Listen to your customers -- be they in person, on the phone, online or twittering -- and take action upon their complaints and suggestions.

This is reason number two of our Five New Reasons to Celebrate Customer Service Week -- but honestly, if listening to your customers and taking action is not something you do during the other 51 weeks of the year, perhaps you should consider another line of work. Just sell off all your assets, chain the doors shut and go be a hermit because you'll be happier living off the land, than making a living via the patronage of customers.

Period. End of discussion. Stop reading and go listen to your customers.

And since none of us at Dovetail Software are particularly suited for living in caves and eating insects, we listen and we want to know what you, our customers, think about our customer service.

Frederic Premji said it best:

"It is extremely important to mold & adjust your business in the liking and the vision that will appeal to your customer base. This is why it is crucial to hear what they have to say about every aspect of their experience dealing with you. Sometimes, when you run a business, it is hard to have an unbiased opinion on things. We tend to think that everything we do is right. This is why getting feedback from your customers can open your eyes on things that may require changes or improvements. Doing this will better your business and provide an even better experience for customers. There is always room for improvement no matter what we think and getting feedback from our clients proves to them that we take this seriously and that customer service is a priority."

So dear customer, please take a few minutes for this survey and tell us what you think.
