Do Some Yard Work To Improve Customer Service!

Written by Sandi Carson


Yes, yard work. What I mean is that you may have to do some weeding in your garden of employees to improve customer service.

Imagine that you are pulling weeds out of your flower garden so that your flowers don't become choked off.

Huh?

"Just go with me on this., O.K.?"

Weed outrepparttar employees that are more likely to waste your water and fertilizer before you even hire them. By that, I mean that you need to stoprepparttar 106439 ultimate time wasters that will kill your customer service.

How?

Before you hire anyone, there are some things that you should do to make sure that your business will help your customers better.

First, conduct telephone interviews with applicants so that you can see howrepparttar 106440 applicant will sound to your customers.

While conductingrepparttar 106441 phone interview, ask yourself these questions:

1. Doesrepparttar 106442 applicant sound courteous and helpful?

2. Doesrepparttar 106443 applicant sound short or slightly grouchy?

Ifrepparttar 106444 applicant sounds short or grouchy, then don't hire them. Then do a regular interview. Duringrepparttar 106445 interview see howrepparttar 106446 potential employee's appearance is. Ifrepparttar 106447 potential employee comes in with raggedy clothing, or poorly groomed then don't considerrepparttar 106448 applicant no matter whatrepparttar 106449 excuse is because ifrepparttar 106450 applicant doesn't care now then he/she won't later.

No matter what, ifrepparttar 106451 potential employee has a bad attitude duringrepparttar 106452 interview, then that is a major red flag. No matter how good thatrepparttar 106453 applicant looks. If you think that his/her attitude will change forrepparttar 106454 better later then you will be in for a rude shock. Trust me on this.

Perform back round checks on each potential employee. Before doing any type of back round checks make sure that you get permission for each type of check that you plan on doing.

See if you can do a reference check with someone thatrepparttar 106455 employee used to work with. And when checking that reference, ask howrepparttar 106456 potential employee got along with others.

Ifrepparttar 106457 person hesitates, or beats aroundrepparttar 106458 bush, then you may have your answer.

I would also recommend checking criminal records. A lot of people think that it is an invasion of privacy. I don't, andrepparttar 106459 reason why is because you really don't know who this person really is that you are interviewing.
