Top Takeaways:  Often in customer service, we tend to put self-imposed limitations that get in the way of delivering great experiences to our customers and slows down the process. When we don't satisfy our customers sooner (or soon enough), they walk.  Everyone in customer service needs to ask the question: How can I help the customer in the shortest amount of time, so they can get the results that they want?  A customer service mindset plus a velocity mindset equals a great customer experience.  To succeed in customer service, you need to have a high score in empathy. Empathy helps you ask the right questions that get you the information you need to help your customers.  Cortisol is the fight or flight hormone. Every minute that customers wait for resolution, the higher their cortisol levels get. We must lower their cortisol levels by getting to the issue faster and turning their experience into a positive one right away.   Companies often concentrate too much on the message. They should be concentrating more on how it is communicated, so that the customer has the right experience. Customer service is not just about responding to a complaint. It is about taking care of people throughout their entire journey.   Quote: "Customer service is all about eliminating resistance so customers can make better decisions, buy-in to your solutions and move forward."   About:  Ron Karr is the CEO of Karr Associates, Inc. and the author of five books including the bestselling Complete Idiots Guide to Great Customer Service and his latest, The Velocity Mindset.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and your host of Amazing Business Radio.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
