Uplifting Customer Service: A Job from the Inside Out
The immediate assumption when we talk about “improving customer service” is that we refer to the activities of customer-facing team members who directly “serve” our external customers, clients, buyers, suppliers, guests, users, attendees, diners, students, patients, etc.
And in fairness, most service education is indeed intended for those who “face” customers – improving the quality of service for those who pay for our services.
But seeing service improvement as mostly a frontline, customer-facing issue will not foster the development of an uplifting service culture where all employees embrace the goal of constantly adding value for others.
