<\/div>\n

We’re all on this planet together, walking through life and encountering the world. \u00a0We all bring different things to the table and have a completely unique combination of experiences that’s all our own. \u00a0While all this is true, there’s still the blaring fact that we also have a lot of things in common; things like basic needs and basic wants.<\/p>\n

One of these basic needs is to be ACKNOWLEDGED! \u00a0We all want to feel like we’re seen, we’re recognized, and we’re heard! \u00a0So, where is this going, you’re asking? \u00a0Well, it’s all about acknowledgement in the world of customer service<\/a>. \u00a0Something soooo simple as acknowledging a person or not can be the pivotal key in the experience that they walk away with being positive or negative.<\/p>\n

We all touch the service industry multiple times in a day, whether it’s at a restaurant, a retail establishment, calling your cell phone service provider, walking into a tasting room, or driving through a Starbucks<\/a>. \u00a0That simple, often subtle act of somebody saying “Hello, I’ll be right with you”, or “Hi, how can I help you?” is the first step in creating an incredible customer service experience.<\/p>\n

The inverse of all this, is standing at a restaurant hostess stand waiting for somebody to notice that you’re there….or picking out a shirt that you’re excited to purchase and standing at the checkout counter while the salesgirl chats on the phone with her BFF…or even wandering around a tasting room wondering if the attendant is going to invite you up to the counter.<\/p>\n

We all just want that acknowledgement, it’s simple and it’s basic, but it’s indeniably integral to each of us walking away with a positive feeling rather than a negative thing.<\/p>\n
