諾 以 「做足一百分 」 / 「 為您做得到」 / 「專業在這裏」 之 精 神 ， 糅 合 高 度 專 業 及 多 元 化 的 知 識 服 務 顧客 。 最 後 ， 我 等 更 矢 志 成 為 全 港 服 務 機 構 之 典 範 。

tell your customers what you can do and DO NOT mention what you cannot do - “plus”, “minus” strategy

6. Partners with customers– Promote a healthy customer-provider relationship.

service would I expect?’ Then you set out to provide that service.

Strategies for promoting a professional service culture

8. Exceed expectation– not only to satisfy the customers’ expected need but to surprise them by

doing, saying, or offering the unexpected related to high-quality service delivery. For instance, celebration birthday, leaflet, free gift, additional signs, etc.

9. Share resources– Build up a strong interpersonal network with coworkers and peers in the

industry so as to develop a support system of resources. – Can will credibility and trust.– Can contribute to professional development.

10. Provide service follow-up– Such as sending cards, giving a call, soliciting feedback through

questionnaire – This effort reinforces service commitment to customers

13

Intangible service – what customers want in addition to the products

1. Personal recognition and trust– Calling their names– Sending birthday cards, giving a call to show concern, looking up information to help, etc.– So as to acknowledge their presence

2. Courtesy– Basic courtesy language: ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ in a customer service environment. – If a situation becomes too tense and you find that you are losing temper, ask someone to

serve that customer.

3. Timely service– In loan, information reply, tangible services

4. Professionalism– Customers expect and should receive knowledgeable answers to questions not just

“genuine apology”, superficial answer or public skill response.

5. Enthusiastic service– Customers come to your company just to satisfy their specific needs or merely ‘looking

around’, checking price, doing a questionnaire or for some other purposes. – Try to offer them a smile, additional services or information and what you might at service

encounter– You are supposed to help your customers obtain a positive service experience.

14

Intangible service – what customers want in addition to the products

6. Empathy– E.g. If customers have particular handicaps such as

difficulties in mobility and use of language, your care have to be special.

7. Genuineness and Responsibility– The is to recover from limitation and errors is to admit

them, to make apology to accept responsibility, and then quickly and appropriately to solve the problem.

– A matter of accountability and work efficiency.

8. Patience– Never allow your customers to face your frustrations and

tension.– Even if you find that your customers are the one causing the

problem, you have to remain in control, to serve with courtesy and to transfer the service appropriately.
