The nature of company’s business determines the uses of either customer or client. For instance if the business of your organization involved in rendering professional services to people such as lawyers, doctors, Accountant, brokers etc. the best for you is client. And for those that involved in selling goods or render other services that are unprofessional then customers is your choice.
In CA Profession we use the term Client
Customer service is an integral part of our job and should not be seen as an extension of it. A company’s most vital asset is its customers. Without them, we would not and could not exist in business. When you satisfy our customers, they not only help us grow by continuing to do business with you, but recommend you to friends and associates.
Good customer service is all about bringing customers back. And about sending them away happy - happy enough to pass positive feedback about your business along to others, who may then try the product or service you offer for themselves and in their turn become repeat customers.
Success Story of Meru Cab ( treat your employees well)-
Every company feels that they are paying the best to their employees and every employee feels that he is underpaid. However in case of MERU, the employee pays the company and both are happy. I will explain briefly the MERU model
MERU hires the driver with certain driving experience and train him on soft skills.
A contract is signed between MERU and the driver.
MERU buys the car and gives it to the driver
The fuel cost has to be borne by the driver
The maintenance of the car is taken care by MERU
MERU helps the drivers by providing the booking to drivers through their call centers
The driver is free to take fares if he doesn’t get the fare from the call center
In return the driver provides Rs. 800 per day to MERU
Whatever the driver earns above these 800 rupees is his own income.
Now MERU has enabled the employees to earn what they want to earn and they have not only given them employment but a business
Provide employees the opportunity to earn to their potential. (May be through Performance Linked Incentives or any other innovative way that fits your business)
Though MERU cab is expensive as compared to other cab people are ready to pay premium, due to its punctuality, readiness to go to any corner of the city and overall customer service.
