- Handling customer is the art of marketing which will yield good benefits in terms of business growth, customer retention, happy employees. To handle a customer who is frustrated, we need to treat them with care, listen with empathy, respond positively and ensure that their issues were listened to and they need to feel that they have been heard. Rather than solving an issue, it is most important to understand customer's problem and their requirement. To solve any customer issue/handle any frustrated customer, all the employees needs to be flexible and they need to be trained on technical matters /policies to give instant solution for any problem.
- To deal the stated problem my suggestions are 1. Make employees to feel associated/part of the organization. 2. Offer more benefits not just monetary 3. Ensure career progression scheme/ tracking mechanism 4. Maintain work-life balance for the employees 5. Maintain flexible working hours/modes for employees 6. Employee welfare schemes (Medical insurance, paid vacations, children educations etc.,)
- Each employee is an asset of any organization , losing an employee will create a space which can not be filled easily. Hence, organization can adopt methods/define policies to retain employees at all levels. It is important to understand that when an employee joins an organization he comes with lot of expectations and dreams and similarly when an employee leaves an organization he takes away all the good learnings and experiences with him which could have been useful for organization growth. So, it is important to focus on employee retention rather than focusing on recruitment and replacement of the vacant. To retain employees following practices can be implemented: 1. Make employees feel associated/part of the organization. 2. Offer more benefits not just monetary. 3. Ensure career progression scheme/ tracking mechanism. 4. Maintain work-life balance for the employees. 5. Maintain flexible working hours/modes for employees. 6. Employee welfare schemes (Medical insurance, paid vacations, children educations etc.,)
- Comfortable in wearing; Provides you a perfect fit; Trendy; Economical and suits customer budget; Durable and has good life span; Unique and differentiate you from others; Attractive
- Design and deliver the product according to customer needs instead of delivering standard product with standard specifications. Customer pre-order the product as per their requirement defined the product portfolio and the product's final stage will be processed as per customer's requirement. Personalization is the booming trend in retail market now a days.
- There is a thin line between personalization and privacy , we need to be cautious in offering personalized products to customer without involving their privacy matters. To demonstrate the best practice of personalization we need to communicate proactively about the privacy policy, demonstrate value for exchange of data. Personalization is the art of modern marketing which helps to sustain the competitive market. When you introduce personalization for the retail products, you make customers part of your process and they feel valued and eventually the business grows.
