How to Build Trust and Credibility With Your Customer to Avoid "Answer Shopping"

We all know that reputation is everything in business. However, the same concept applies to the service rep as well.  If you have a representative who  projects uncertainty through their behavior, their voice,  or the words they use, the customer will NOT trust the credibility of their knowledge of the organizations products and services.  Statistically, one in four will call back!  At this point, they are “answer shopping,”  to compare answers to their questions .  If the customer happens to get the same rep on the phone on the second call, most likely they will hang-up and call back yet again!  This scenario plays out every day in the service/support center.  Remember - trust and credibility is what holds your organization together.  If your customers feel or perceive that you have hired incompetent staff, then in their mind your organization isn't credible.  Be sure your staff understands how their behavior, words, and expressions can impact their credibility and connection with the customer.

What You Will Learn:

  • How to project confidence by avoiding certain words and expressions
  • How to actively listen to the issue or inquiry to build credibility
  • How to ask the right questions to determine the customers needs
  • How to present a positive, professional attitude with others to impact perception
  • How seven simple steps build trust and credibility with the customer
  • How and when to project empathy to prove to the customer you are engaged in the interaction
