Smile!

If there is one behavior that will almost surely result in a positive customer impact - it is a smile!

Considering the amount of dough that gets spent on customer service trainings, I just cannot understand why I don't see more of the Smile on many customer facing teams - receptions, check out counters, servers / waiters, etc.

Some benefits -

• Create a warm feeling at the contact point
• Shows the customer that the service agent is thinking of the customer too
• Has the potential to cushion the impact of any other goof ups your organization might do in the customer experince
• Acts as a hook to rope in renewed contacts
• If your don't give one, someone else will
• Giving one becomes even more important when you don't receive one
