Do You Meet Customer Expectations? Morehouse Customer Service
A man is walking through the desert, parched and desperate for water. He looks at the sky and prays, "Please, just a drop of water! I'll do anything for some water!" Miraculously, a cloud forms above him, and rain begins to fall. He drinks the water gratefully, feeling a wave of relief and satisfaction. As the rain stops, he looks at the sky again and says, "Could you add a slice of lemon, too?"
This story humorously illustrates a crucial aspect of customer service: even when a major issue is resolved, minor details can still cause dissatisfaction. Customers often don't think about the questions to ask or the details to consider until it's too late, and surprises—especially negative ones—are rarely welcome.
In today's fast-paced world, rising customer expectations demand that businesses stay ahead of their customers' needs. Proactive IT teams must anticipate the latest cyber threats and emerging technologies before the email stops working or the systems crash and an angry CEO is at the office door. Similarly, auto mechanics must proactively inform customers about necessary maintenance, such as changing fluids or replacing parts, before problems arise and angry customers are in the lobby.
At Morehouse Instrument Company, we understand the importance of promoting a positive customer experience by proactively anticipating what our customers might overlook. For instance, when calibration is requested, we check whether an indicator, adapter, or cable might also be needed. Our goal is to prevent the frustrating scenario of a customer receiving their equipment and suddenly realizing they forgot to ask about 'the lemon.'
Yet, it’s also important for customers to maintain realistic expectations. For example, imagine a customer receiving a phenomenal calibration on a budget load cell and then asking for the device to perform like an ultra-precision instrument. It's akin to buying a Yugo and expecting the performance of a Ferrari. While we strive to exceed expectations, we also aim to set and manage realistic ones.
We differentiate Morehouse from our competition by setting and delivering real expectations, proactively communicating, and delivering solutions that meet or exceed customer expectations. By proactively addressing potential needs and questions, we strive to eliminate unwanted surprises and provide our customers with a seamless, satisfying experience. It's not just about meeting expectations; it's about exceeding them by thinking ahead and delivering comprehensive solutions.
At Morehouse, anticipating and addressing these details is not just a task; it's a core value that sets us apart. We are dedicated to ensuring the right components are included in a shipment or providing expert advice on calibration needs so our customers never have to worry about what they might have forgotten.
In an age where customer expectations are continually rising, staying ahead is not just an advantage—it's a necessity. Focusing on the details and proactively managing potential issues and expectations ensures that our customers always receive the best possible service, free from surprises.
