What makes an amazing customer service?
While a sale is a wonderful end-result of this, it is not what fully defines good customer service. It is your ability to make the prospects’ whole experience with you positive and, hopefully, so pleasantly memorable that they will come back for more. In other words, it’s in how you guide them through the stages of the ‘buyer’s journey’.
“The buyer’s journey is the process buyers go through to become aware of, evaluate, and purchase a new product or service.” (Hubspot)
