Magic of Customer Service

The customer pays for one thing. Forty people had to agree to make it.

Service & Sales

Who It Is For

  • Frontline service, branch, retail and call-centre teams
  • Back-office functions whose work reaches the customer through somebody else
  • Whole value chains that have started blaming each other

How It Runs

  • One to two days, in person or online
  • Simulation-led: the room runs a restaurant, builds a car and builds a bridge before anyone draws a model
  • English and Urdu

What It Turns On

  1. 01

    Treat the department next door as a customer, because the person paying already does.

  2. 02

    Use empathy without falling into sympathy on one side or apathy on the other.

  3. 03

    Respond rather than react, when the complaint is unfair and the queue is watching.

  4. 04

    Design an experience instead of processing a transaction.

The broad outline

  1. 01

    In context

    Who your customer actually is. The answer is upstream and downstream of you, and neither of them is paying.

  2. 02

    Know

    The origins of a service attitude. Adaptability, customer experience and the interpersonal habits underneath both.

  3. 03

    Go

    Empathy, and the trap on either side of it. Responding against reacting. Teamwork as a competitive advantage rather than a poster.

  4. 04

    Show

    The simulations. The room serves, is served, manufactures and builds — then compares which group designed the better experience and why.

  5. 05

    Close

    The handoffs inside your own value chain, named and fixed.

What You Are Left Holding

  • Your internal customers mapped, upstream and downstream
  • The specific handoffs where your experience leaks
  • A team that has felt both sides of its own counter
