Customer Service Excellence Quote – Tony Alessandra

“Good customer service is hard to find today.” How many times have you heard that statement? As a service provider (and we all are in any organization of more than one person since we all have internal customers), your goal should be to prepare to deliver excellent customer service to everyone with whom you have contact throughout the day. Anything less is inviting a breakdown in the customer-service provider relationship and is going to ultimately cost you and your organization. By gaining the knowledge and skills needed to interact with a diverse global customer base, you can potentially set up a win-win situation for yourself and your customers.

As an author and motivational speaker, Tony Alessandra puts it:

“Being on par in terms of price and quality

Customer Service Quote - Robert W. Lucas

 

“Effective customer service is often the deciding factor in a globally competitive world” Robert W. Lucas, Author of Please Every Customer.

National Customer Service Week was established by the International Customer Service Association (ICSA) in 1988 as a way for businesses and organizations to recognize the efforts of their customer service professionals. In 1991 President George H. Bush declared National Customer Service Week. In 2013, the theme was “United through Service”.

The idea behind the week is for organizations to celebrate service by doing things to boost employee morale and motivation through recognition and rewards for their efforts in satisfying customer needs, wants and expectations. By raising customer awareness across the organization and also reminding customers how vital they are to the individual employee and organizational success, companies can potentially enhance employee morale and increase customer and brand loyalty.

For useful resources and information on how to create a positive customer-centric environment in your organization, check out the ICSA and Alexander Communications Group websites.

Customer Service Quality Quote – Robert W. Lucas

In a global, competitive customer environment of today, the organizations that survive and prosper will be those that do the unexpected by determining the true needs, wants and expectations of their customers and addressing them.

Motivational Customer Service Quote – Roger Staubach

Motivational Customer Service Quote – Roger Staubach

Customer service jobs can be stressful. Sometimes having to satisfy the needs, wants and expectations of dozens of diverse customers in a day can start to wear on even seasoned customer service representatives and other organizational employees.

The key to success in the service industry is to keep a positive attitude, strive to listen effectively in order to identify your customers’ issue or situation, and then try to provide an effective solution. This 110 percent effort can be a challenge, but it pays off in the end when you can facilitate customer and brand loyalty.

Keep a quote by famed Dallas Cowboys football quarterback Roger Staubach, who equated success to a highway.

Motivational Customer Service Quote - Roger Stauback

More Famous Quotes from Roger Staubach…

  1. Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a result of something… hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.
  2. Winning isn’t getting ahead of others. It’s getting ahead of yourself.
  3. Spectacular achievements come from unspectacular preparation.
  4. Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.

Customer Service Quote – Lewis Carol

Customer Service Quote – Lewis Carol

Customer service representatives and others who interact with internal and external customers have an opportunity to be successful in satisfying customers if they adopt a customer-centric attitude. By being concerned for customer needs, wants and expectations and treating people as they want to be treated, service professionals stand out from their competition. This is because too many employees in organizations really do not care about their job or the people they serve.

The customer service profession continues to evolve as new technology is developed and improved on a regular basis. With each new generation of computers, tablets, smartphones and other devices designed to connect people, the opportunities for business applications continue to evolve.

The customer service representatives of today must be adept and interpersonal relationships, knowledgeable about diversity and their organization’s products and services.

Customer Service Quote – Kate Zabriskie

Customer Service Quote – Kate Zabriskie

All customer service representatives and others in their organization play an integral part in ensuring that they deliver the best possible customer service. Each person is responsible for having current product and service knowledge and skills in order to answer questions and resolve customer related issues as they surface. When they and their organization skimp on training or time for effective service delivery, the inevitable result will be dissatisfied customers who tell others of their negative encounter and desert to a competing organization.

“Although your customers won’t love you if you give bad service your competitors will.” Kate Zabriskie

A quote by Kate Zabriskie sums up the importance of providing quality customer service in order to retain customers.

Interpersonal Communication Quote – Theodore Roosevelt

Interpersonal Communication Quote – Theodore Roosevelt

Interpersonal Communication Quote - Theodore Roosevelt

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people. — Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (1858 – 1919), also known as ‘Teddy’, was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, and reformer.

He served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909.

As a leader of the Republican Party during this time, he became a driving force for the Progressive Era in the United States in the early 20th century.

Theodore Roosevelt Famous Quotes To Enjoy Reading:

  • “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
  • “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
  • “It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”
  • “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” Theodore Roosevelt
  • “When you’re at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.”
  • “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”
  • “The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.”
  • “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” Theodore Roosevelt
  • “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
  • “To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.”
  • “Knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.”
  • “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
  • “Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.”
  • “If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.”
  • “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.”
  • “Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” Theodore Roosevelt
  • “Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength.”
  • “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.”
  • “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
  • “I am a part of everything that I have read.”
  • “I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.”
  • “No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care” Theodore Roosevelt
  • “The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
  • “Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.”
  • “A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.”
  • “Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell ’em, ‘Certainly I can!’ Then get busy and find out how to do it.”
  • “Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.”
  • “A man who has never gone to school may steal a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.”
  • “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” Theodore Roosevelt
  • “When you play, play hard; when you work, don’t play at all.”
