8. Be a Customer Service Provider

One of the important features of generating leads is powerful customer service. Suppose you own a business of the restaurant, then definitely the competence of customer service becomes an integral part.

My recent experience was from Swiggy. I had ordered food online and was waiting for its delivery for a long time. I got three calls from the customer service executive. The first call was regarding the confirmation of the order. The second call was an apology call for getting late.

The third call was about location problem, and the customer executive handled very effectively and gently. Ultimately when my food came, I got two more calls. One was regarding the confirmation whether I had received the food or not and the second call was regarding the feedback. It made me contented as they were more concerned about their customer’s satisfaction.

Such a powerful customer service one should provide to improve not only their sales but also to generate more customers. For instance, with such a good experience of swiggy, I had suggested a few of my friends and referred them to download the app and order food from there. It is a kind of word-of-mouth publicity. Through their customer service, they got one happy customer that’s me, and I generated referrals to other people.
