VIP Acronym Change - Teri's Tip #60

We've all heard the acronym VIP before.  He's a VIP, she's a VIP.  It has traditionally stood for Very Important Person. 

My suggestion is that you change it to stand for Very Individual Person.  In today's world so many customers are made to feel like just another transaction or "next" in line.  Make them feel special.  Learn their name, look them in the eye.  You will make them feel important if you make them feel like an individual.

Tires Ain't Pretty - Teri's Tip #44

The commercial says "tires ain't pretty", but the service I received from Tire Kingdom in Altamonte Springs,Florida last week was "beautiful".  The acronym ACT sums it all up.

A - Accurate work (did what they said they would do)
C - Complete (identified my brake pads they were almost metal to metal that needed replacing)
T - Timely (completed the job when they said they would.)

Remember this phrase no matter what kind of service or product you provide your customer and sometimes its just the basics that end up WOWing the customer these days.

HOW to WOW - Teri's Tip #30

What does it take to Wow a customer?  In addition, of course, to giving them what you promised, it takes two things:
1.  Treat each customer as an individual
2.  Pay attention to the details 

By treating each customer individually, it shows you notice and care about them. Actively listening and looking through their lens helps you to deliver the WOW service your competition doesn't. They are not just another number or transaction to your business.  By paying attention to the details, you can find a way to exceed their expectations.  For example just this week, a Rollins College IT employee paid attention to the details of my laptop problem when I was instructing a workshop.  Not only did he tell me what was wrong with my laptop, but also took the time to find the phone number of the computer manufacturer so I wouldn't have to look it up.  Small detail, but much appreciated for the time it saved me in tracking that piece of information!
