Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

Most often when a technical issue arises, I get annoyed with the lack of reasonable customer care. It usually goes downhill when technology is involved. The question, “Don’t you know?” annoys me. If I did know, I wouldn’t be asking for help!

Excellence in customer care provides a returning and referring clientele.

My Story

Realizing the need for a database, extra insight was required for ease of use. I was not looking forward to the call.  The customer service representative suggested using Zoom technology to see as well as hear the instruction.  My goal was to learn how to put the Pipeliner Database System to good use.  I was agreeable to the suggestion.

We connected, and then the strangest thing happened. Rhonda has a customer service style that almost mirrors my sales approach. We both relationship sell.  Our brief personal conversation provided us with a good laugh!

Getting down to business, Rhonda let me know that her goal was to answer all of my concerns and get me confidently up and running. I couldn’t ask for more. But then she took two extra steps. The name of her assistant was given to me.  She said this way we you will be covered if I’m not here.  And to my surprise, she created a recording of the training for replay afterward.

As we clicked through the categories available, the simplicity of the system became evident. I shared the story of the opposite experience as an employee. Although an international company, the employer purchased the cheapest version possible of a database system. Ten clicks were required for each account, but the clicks didn’t work the first time or on the fourth try.

The expense of a poorly functioning system lacks value. But the more significant drain is on time, money, and resources.  Had the original robust version been purchased, a monetary drain would not be an issue.  On average there were twelve sales reps in each office across the country. A similar arrangement was true for countries abroad. By the time data was entered, each rep was clicking at least twenty times per new account.

Multiplying the time wasted by the total number of representatives worldwide, profits drained big-time. And the experience cut the time needed for clientele. Instead of having company savings, clients were frustrated and went elsewhere.

In contrast, the Pipeliner CRM also provides a side benefit.  Visit their SalesPop! Website. You will find a sales blog plus insights from established sales consultants and authors. I am one of their contributors for their Sales Tales collection.

As I became familiar with the Pipeliner system, I smiled with approval. Rhonda Kupfer was given a whole-hearted thank you for the time and insights she provided. Afterward, I thanked the person who connected us and wrote, “It was the best customer service experience I ever had!”
