Whether the customer’s call, email or visit is to inform you of a change in circumstances because someone has died or they just happen to need to talk you on the day they’ve been told their child has cancer and are therefore emotionally fragile, what your team member says next can have huge consequences.
How confident are you that everyone in your organisation is equipped with the right responses?
Not just the bereavement team (if you have one) or the customer service people - everyone who interacts with customers in any way makes an impact.
If you have a Specialist team how easy is it to contact them directly?
How grief friendly is your website?
Your processes?
Your IVR?
There was an old adage that said if a customer was happy they’d tell someone else but if they were unhappy they’d tell ten. That was before social media. Now they tell thousands who share it with thousands more.
Given every client or prospect interaction is potentially with someone who is experiencing significant emotional loss right then, every team member needs to be ready and able to be Heart Helpful. Using language and actions that are supportive, empathetic and human –all skills that can be learned but are rarely taught. This is why we’ve created Heart Helpful workshops and resources.
