Beware of Your Powerful Mind When Dealing with Customers

by Myra Golden

 

Please read the following.

Aoccdrnig to a rsceearcehr at Cmabridge Uivervtisy,

it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod

Fascinating, isn't it?

I asked you to read the above paragraph to demonstrate a powerful principle. Your mind is vulnerable. It can see things that aren't there. This is important information for those of us who work in customer service.

The lesson here: It can be easy to add details that are not present (that is, to make assumptions, have suspicions, etc.). Let's work hard to really listen to the customer and draw conclusions based on all of the information presented to us. Let's not add to it and let's be careful not to miss information.

Video of the Week: Jack Nicholson’s famously hilarious chicken-salad-sandwich speech in Five Easy Pieces

I actually feature this clip in my full-day customer service workshops. It gets hilarious laughter for sure, but after the clip we discuss how the waitress could have handled this customer better. Enjoy!
