Greetings are a part of every conversation. Start yours off on the right foot!
Hello, welcome to ___________, how can I help you?
Hi, you seem like you have a question, is there something I can help you with?
S – Sincere Greeting
The first 30 seconds of a contact sets the tone for the remainder of the contact.
A good trick is to choose only one eye or the space in between the two eyes so you don’t have awkward eye moments…
E – Eye Contact/Engage
A person’s name is the greatest connection to their own identity and individuality. Some might say it is the most important word in the world to that person.
Ask for their name and use it in the conversation, they’ll feel like they’ve made a connection and are more likely to walk away feeling positively about the experience.
Utilize resources around you to pick up on names of the students, i.e. C-Cure, Owl Cards, Name tags, etc.
R – Recognition of who they are, calling them by name
The customer may not always be right, but they have the right to be heard
Listen to what it is the person is asking for, is it a simple request, or is there an underlying issue?
V – Validating/Valuing their request
Saying thank you – it’s everyday etiquette and a simple courtesy that take just a moment. It costs nothing, not even effort
We are constantly encouraging students to come forward with questions or concerns, so let’s thank them for doing so!
Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone
E – End with a Thank You
