- Politeness: Politeness is almost a lost art. Saying ‘hello,’ ‘good afternoon,’ ‘sir’, and ‘thank you very much’ are a part of good customer service. For any business, using good manners is appropriate whether the customer makes a purchase or not. Friendly demeanor: this is in person and on the phone. The customer service rep is the first impression customers receive regarding the company/business. Therefore, a friendly demeanor is seen as one of the best assets of a customer service rep.
- Professionalism: All customers should be treated professionally, which means the use of competence or skill expected of the professional. Professionalism shows the customer they’re cared for.
