RECOGNIZING EMPLOYEE EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE

Posted by Doing Better Business on May 16, 2023 10:23:55 AM

Catching up on all of our employees' awards from March and April after a very successful President's Club Trip to Savannah, GA.

As a customer, there's nothing quite like receiving exceptional service. Whether it's a friendly smile, a helpful suggestion, or going above and beyond to solve a problem, great customer service can make all the difference in our experience. This is why it is so important to recognize and celebrate employees who consistently provide outstanding customer service.  And what better way to do that than through employee customer service excellence awards, industry awards and President's Club Trips?

But why are these awards so important? For one, they help to create a culture of excellence within a company. When employees see their colleagues being recognized for their outstanding customer service, it can inspire them to strive for the same level of excellence. It also helps to reinforce the importance of customer service as a core value of the company.

Another benefit of these awards is that they can help to improve employee morale and engagement. When employees feel valued and appreciated, they are more likely to be motivated and engaged in their work. This can lead to higher levels of job satisfaction and lower turnover rates.

Of course, it's important to ensure that these awards are given out fairly and objectively.  One way to do this is to establish clear criteria for what constitutes excellent customer service.  This could include things like responsiveness, empathy, problem-solving skills, and overall customer satisfaction. It's also important to involve customers in the process, either through surveys or feedback forms, to ensure that the awards are truly reflective of the customer experience.

We use our customer surveys to help identify our employee or employees of the month for customer service excellence.   We sent out 3,345 surveys in March and April and received 292 responses which yielded us a 97 Net Promoter Score of customers who would refer us or choose us again.   115 of those 292 responses made specific comments nominating someone on our staff for our Captain Morgan of the Month Award.

So many awesome customer surveys thanking them for their hard work and efforts.  We are so appreciative of all they do for us.

PROS ELITE TECHNICIAN OF THE MONTH

We follow strict metrics when it comes to providing service to our customers.  These metrics are monitored by an independent third party monthly called Pros Elite.  In order for us to retain our status as a Pros Elite 100 dealer, we must achieve these benchmarks or we will become disqualified.   These metrics are reviewed in huddles with all of our field service technicians weekly.   We take a combination of several metrics to determine our Pros Elite Technician of the Month. 

Congratulations to Grant Butler winning for the second month in a row for earning the top metrics in March 2023.
