An important lesson we’ve learned over the years of having a successful customer service call center is to listen to our customers. You probably hear that all of the time in the customer service world, but at EMS we take it to the next level by building our processes around our customer’s individual needs.

How do we build our processes around our customers’ needs?

Taking the time to understand the customer and target audience is an essential part of what we do. There is plenty of research and time involved, of course, but it all pays off in the end. Sometimes businesses assume things about their customers without truly understanding them. It’s crucial to have the right team in place to discover the needs that maybe even the customer doesn’t realize they have. After revealing those needs, discuss them with the client to make sure everyone is on the same page.

That’s when the process building starts:

1. Integrate 

Once you have identified the needs of the customer, take the time to integrate them into their specific processes. At EMS, we have a talented group of people that can do just that. We know that each customer and client has a unique set of needs that must be incorporated into the way we serve their customers, too. It’s all part of the plan to offer exceptional customer service and to help businesses increase sales.

2. Identify needs

The bottom line is always the customer and their needs. It all boils down to this important fact: without the customer, we would cease to exist. The customer is number one and by understanding them on many levels we can drive customer loyalty and improve customer retention. 

3. Build the process  

We have found that by building our processes around our customer’s needs we have higher customer referral rates and customer satisfaction overall. Remember to listen to the customer and take it one step further by implementing those needs into your overall strategy and plan.
