Good customer service typically means providing timely, attentive, upbeat service to a customer, and making sure their needs are met in a manner that reflects positively on the company or business.
Customer service is the act of providing support to both prospective and existing customers. Customer service professionals commonly answer customer questions through in-person, phone, email, chat, and social media interactions and may also be responsible for creating documentation for self-service support.
1. Patience
Patience is crucial for customer service professionals. After all, customers who reach out to support are often confused and frustrated. Being listened to and handled with patience goes a long way in helping customers feel like you're going to alleviate their current frustrations.
2- Attentiveness
The ability to truly listen to customers is crucial to providing great service for a number of reasons. Not only is it important to pay attention to individual customers’ experiences, but it’s also important to be mindful and attentive to the feedback that you receive at large.
3- Emotional intelligence
An excellent customer service representative knows how to interact with anyone, is capable of putting himself in the shoes of others and helps to resolve their concerns, thinks more of the customer than of himself.
4-Ability to communicate clearly
As a service agent you are the face of the company that is why you must keep in mind how to do what to understand and help customers in a friendly and respectful way.
5- Closing ability
Being able to close with a customer as a customer service professional means being able to end the conversation with confirmed customer satisfaction (or as close to it as you can achieve) and with the customer feeling that everything has been taken care of (or will be).
