How you have improved your customer service since April 2015? What impact has this had on your business? How do you involve your customers in improving customer service? Evidence of feedback from customers that demonstrates the excellence of your service would be extremely helpful. We will also consider comments made by customers nominating your business?
I have always been committed to offering exceptional customer service to all clients. I recruit staff with the same value on customer service and ensure that they maintain these high standards every day. At Pure Perfection we recognize the benefit of relaxation for general wellbeing and so ensure our client’s experience, from start to finish, is the most relaxing and client-centred experience it can be.
Since April 2015 I have enlisted the assistance of a HR Consultant to help ensure my goal of offering the highest standard of customer service is achieved. In this time many improvements have been made, all have had a positive impact, changes include:
1. Holding regular meetings with the staff from all 3 salons to discuss customer feedback and brainstorm new ideas. These meetings are a great opportunity to encourage and involve staff in the generation of new ideas to improve the customer experience. Managers report that they feel more energised and motivated after these meetings and pass on the information to their team.
2. Arranged mystery shops – I was delighted when the results confirmed that we consistently offer our clients excellent customer service. It also identified areas that we could improve the client experience.
3. Client Feedback forms have been introduced and are situated in a comfortable seating area. Many clients have taken advantage of these to pass on their thanks, make suggestions. Through this exercise we learned that:
- clients wanted to share the massage experience with their friends / partners so we created a Dual Therapy Room.
- clients wanted their children to enjoy a pamper experience so Little Ladies Pamper Parties were introduced.
4. Â We offer private informal make-up sessions to brides and their bridal party so that they can experiment with make-up and seek guidance from trained professionals whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly and nibbles.
5. We now place regular Face Book updates and tutorials for our clients. We advice clients on how to do treatments at home such as eyebrow shaping. We also demonstrate what they can expect when they come in for treatment. We have found that understanding the process of certain treatments helps the client relax more.
Making these changes to my salon has made a huge impact with staff feeling more valued and energized. Based on the feedback I get clients and staff appreciate and value these changes.
We have also seen an increase in appointments and client referrals for which we offer a 20% discount for both parties. With increased revenue I have been able to invest in more comfortable nail bars and some more relaxing chairs.
Recently individual staff meetings work conducted with the Development Coach (Debs Connell Telephone 07483217704) who’s report was extremely positive and praised the teams commitment to offering excellent customer service and their endeavours to ensure the client feels valued throughout the visit.
We are currently designing a disability and post op awareness training session as I want the team to be able to offer the necessary support and understanding to clients with extra needs due to a medical condition.
I will always invest in our award-winning therapists accessing first class training in top branded treatments and customer service.
I will continue to work with mystery shoppers and using the feedback forms as this keeps me up-to-date with our client’s expectations and desires.
It is so pleasing for me to hear wonderful comments about the team as word of mouth is my biggest advert. We regularly see recommendations on Face Book from clients who say lovely things about the team and the service they have received. Many upload photographs of their lovely nails, beautiful eyelashes etc.
Please see the links to You Tube to hear comments from our clients and also a sample of the genuine comments made about us.
