I am hooked to
Chase Jarvis, a great photographer, not only for his talent but his willingness to share everything he knows about photography. Have a look at his Blog here.

Quality of Service

2007_06_Lake_Constance_Mt_Saentis_010

How serious are you about the Quality of Service you receive?

  • Do you get unhappy and angry because of poor quality of service? 
  • Do you complain and let your service provider know how you feel? 
  • Do you even care to fill the satisfaction surveys they send you? 
  • Do you really want them to improve?
Chances are you still get angry anyway, irrespective of whether you are dependent on their service or not, whether you have been locked into their products/services or not. If you can  easily change your provider, you won't care of complaining. You become indifferent to them.

At the same time, if you like their products and want to keep on using, you'd probably tell them why you are not happy. In doing so, actually you are doing them a favor and giving them a chance to improve. These organizations should welcome customer feedback and actually reward them for doing so. But reality is very different.

Same is with satisfaction surveys. Generally people don't fill them. These get filled  only if people are in love with their products and  get a very high quality of service. But that can change very fast with just one incident of poor response.

It's hard to believe that you want your service providers to improve. Nowadays, it's become almost impossible to get loyalty out of customers. There is so much choice available today. Vendors are treated almost with disdain and disregarded for their attempts to make people stick to their products/services.

Now flip the situation for yourself. 
  • How do you treat your customers? 
  • Do you care about them? 
  • Do you solve their problems genuinely? 
  • Are your really serious about being in business?

It's time for self-reflection...
