Studies show that a consumer’s buying experience often drives the ultimate purchase. This proves that for a business to be successful, it needs to consider how it makes each customer feel. But what does it really take to achieve service excellence? And what role does a service operations manager play in it? And why is it high in demand? Read on to find out.


What is Service Excellence?

To deliver excellent service, you need to anticipate your customers’ needs. Your business should try to be as consumer-centric as possible, putting the customer at the heart of what you offer. It means moving at their pace, listening closely to their needs and understanding their preferences.

Service excellence is more than a warm welcome or a pleasant smile. While the customer-facing aspect is important for a business, it’s what’s happening behind the scenes that impacts overall customer experience. And a service operations manager focusses essentially on these details.

 

What’s your role as a service operations manager?

As a service operations manager, you’ll develop a service design model and work with other departments like customer support, marketing and sales. Your role will be similar to an analyst as you ensure that your service department runs as smoothly as possible.

As a service operations manager some of your responsibilities would be to:

1.     Track your customers’ journey, ensure they have an exceptional experience and measure their level of satisfaction.

2.     Leverage the right technology and infrastructure for seamless customer support.

3.     Develop new data while managing and analysing existing data.

4.     Use new age tools to deliver effective consumer service, such as social media.

5.     Develop operational efficiencies, gather feedback and study trends to improve processes.
