Imagine that you walk into a store selling blinds, wanting to purchase some blinds for your home. But although several different sales people seem eager to assist you, none of them seem to know anything about blinds! Imagine how frustrating that would be – and how long it would take you to walk out and take your business elsewhere.
Customers, you see, have an expectation that sales people at a business will be knowledgeable about that business’s products and services.
You can get around this expectation, however, by eliminating this type of hand-holding customer service from your business. Several very successful big-box chains have done this, expecting customers to see this as a fair trade for lower prices. And online businesses tend to operate as self-serve businesses.
However, the bottom line is that if your business operations include a customer expectation that they will be able to interact with knowledgeable staff, you’d better have some – especially if your sales depend on it.
