✅ 2. Exemplary responsiveness
Why? A customer expects quick answers, especially when a problem arises.
How can you do this? Set clear response times (e.g. within 24 hours) and stick to them. Automate acknowledgements of receipt if necessary.
✅ 3. Ongoing training for your team
Why should you do this? Well-trained staff handle delicate situations better.
How? Offer training on communication, empathy, and products/services.
✅ 4. Systematic customer feedback
Why? It shows that you take their opinion into account.
How? Send out satisfaction questionnaires and take concrete action on the feedback.
✅ 5. Surprise pleasantly
Why surprise? An unexpected gesture creates a “wow” effect.
How? Offer a bonus, a handwritten thank-you note, or a special discount at a key moment.
✅ 6. Simplify the customer experience
Why? Less friction = more satisfaction.
How? Optimize the customer journey (website, payment, after-sales service, etc.).
