Dedicate 2013 to Improving Service Quality

The beginning of each year is met by resolutions and promises to improve one’s quality of life, alter undesirable behavioural traits and adopt new ones. Sadly for most people these resolutions are never implemented, they remain wishes on the To Do list. The challenge is that making resolutions and actually implementing them are two totally different things. They require different set of behaviours. For one to meet their resolutions they need to act upon what they have written down, keep the momentum and get better as each day passes.

The same approach is essential when it comes to improving service delivery. Service quality resolutions have to be me made, acted upon and continue to be acted upon until they become habits. Only then can service quality improve. Declare 2013 the year that you finally do away with poor customer service delivery. All the bad service, excuses and bad mouthing customers behind their backs should stop and be buried in 2012. Bad service has to be a thing of the past, it is really old fashioned.  

But wait a minute! Why do you need to dedicate 2013 to improving service quality? The answer - customers are increasingly becoming aware of their consumer rights therefore demanding  value for money superior service. Gone are the days when products and services would just be shoved down the throat of customers. Today they have choice and this choice gives them power. They can decide to abandon your product or service in favour of your competitor’s. This leaves you in a precarious state. It is either you improve your service quality or kiss business success goodbye.
