MenuI am a trainer in Client Care as opposed to Customer Service. What business sectors do you feel need the most help?
Companies spend a fortune on customer acquisition and then apathy sets in; most never invest in keeping the customer. I train in changing the mindset from customer to client. What types of businesses do you see as the best prospects for me?
Answers
With more than a decade of experience in top services firms (Technology products and financial products), being an ex-VP in Client servicing area, and realizing the impact good client servicing can have in keeping and growing your brand- I do know what you are talking about! The sectors which I feel need the most are- new/few years old startups (specifically service startups), they are so busy managing acquisitions, that they are forgetting servicing and retaining their already existing customers despite knowing that switching costs for these customers are ZERO and their competitors- many! Also, telecom & product support companies are lagging in this area. Hope this helps. I will be happy to have you arrive at a personal business plan for you to start building your training business in this area. Pls feel free to schedule a call or email me at ceo@flatheels.co
Does your training include a special a method or application for Client Care?
Is it one off training or continuous program with achievable targets? What is the impact after you change the mind set from customer to client?
If I was in your shoes, I would develop a bulletproof method/software/etc... for managing customer relations, train establishments and contract them for a period of time with full commitment to increase their overall client services.
There is no "best prospects", every business needs customer care..
Sure there are best sectors for any type of business. Pick a lane (niche) and get in it. Don't change the sector until you have mastered the first one unless an incredible offer is presented to you.
Which niche do you pick? Healthcare? That is up to you. Go with your passion on the niche because you can never be guaranteed of profit. However, profit comes more easily to those who are passionate about what they do.
Best of Luck,

I believe client care industries will be best for you. You can try in the following sectors if you want to:
1. Financial services: Pension plans, life insurance, retail banking and fund managers
2. Real estate: Property owners, fund managers, REITs, and property managers
3. Retail: Grocers, general retailers, entertainment, and industry associations
4. Hospitality: Hotel owners, brand management companies, convention centres, industry associations and eco-certification bodies
5. Media and communications: Broadcasting, publishing, and technology infrastructure providers
6. Information technology: Sustainability management systems and technology solutions
7. Energy: Pipelines, integrated oil and gas, renewable and conventional energy generation, transmission, and distribution
8. Transportation: Rail freight, high-speed rails, port terminal operations, shipping, and airports

What SaaS should I use to coordinate email communication with customers so our whole marketing team has one consistent voice?
HelpScout, ZenDesk or Desk.com. HelpScout (help desk software) would be a great start – less options but even when I ran a 6 person customer support team (with over 500 emails a day), we never needed the complex features of Desk.com. Have one person create 'saved replies' to quickly answer your customers in a cohesive voice and with consistent responses. (However, encourage your entire team to inject some of their personality!) This seems like a huge task, but if they dig through their sent emails, it can be done pretty quickly. Good luck!Danielle MavealDM

Could anyone help me find any legitimate companies who hire for work at home positions, online customer service, etc., which aren't scams?
Most customer service jobs are going overseas, but this is a great website with only remote jobs that might be useful: https://www.remoterocketship.com/?page=1&sort=DateAdded It's a relatively new site, but they're doing a great job.Lee von KrausLV

How can a customer leave me feedback?
If you are talking about online feedback through a website, I'd suggest Feefo or Hotjar. There are plenty of other solutions, but those are really easy to set up. You could also factor in customer feedback requests into any email marketing you are doing and this kind of thing can be automated through all the major email service providers.Scott ColenuttSC

Is it OK to end services or support when a customer did not pay the cost of services/support or did not renewal contract in software industry?
If I understand you correctly, you're saying a customer agreed to pay you for services (product and/or support), either through posted prices and a shrink-wrapped license or through a written contract, and then you provided those services, and then they didn't pay? And you're asking whether it's "OK" that they didn't pay? Of course it's not OK! Is there any business who could operate in that fashion? The way it affects the customer relationship is you don't have a customer relationship. You have a situation where they are taking advantage of you. A relationship goes in two directions.Jason CohenJC

We are building our support site for our mhealth platform end users on desk.com how do we organize the content?
As is my way, I have to answer tangentially: People hate reading documentation. Essentially no one will read the quick start guide, and those who do will have poor retention. This is not just a pithy quote, but driven by years of research into cognitive psychology. You cannot provide training around a complex (or bad) interface, and short training like onboarding guides have essentially no impact. If your responsibility is only the support systems: Ask the users. Carefully. You can't run polls and focus groups as they are not accurate but you can run (or hire people to run) "card sorting exercises." These are participatory design tasks where representative end users can help you understand how they would organize, group and label the information. That makes it more likely for users to find the information they need. Ideally, and if you have authority to mess with the design of the whole application, you don't even need help. No, really! I have designed complex applications (used millions of times a day) with NO help system. It can be done. For this domain, I would probably expect a help system, but one based more around digging into details, and presented in that way, instead of as help. For the interface itself, the application should instead guide the user, and if possible (based on information already entered, what you gather over time if it is something using biometrics or synched to records, etc.) automatically create the needed widgets. Users are very, very poor at customizing, no matter what they say. To remain sticky, make it easy, and personalize for them. I'd be happy to chat about this more based on your specific needs if you are comfortable sharing them with me.Steven HooberSH
