Sara Smith was considered a shining example to others at her organization. Not only was she well liked by her fellow co-workers, but over the years she had gained a loyal following of customers by her outstanding personality. She clearly understood that people will always respond well when they are treated kindly.
Sara had what it took to be what I would classify as a "customer service superstar." She had the ability to keep customers and help others within the organization to become their best on the job. Each day Sara made a positive impact for the company and consistently delivered outstanding customer service.
Anyone who knew Sara would always comment on her geniune friendliness toward others. Customers would feel comfortable from the start because of the warm and friendly welcome she gave to them. She consistently showed others respect and always took an interest in others. Even her pleasant tone of voice had a way of drawing people back. Her ability to make customers feel important was due to how Sara consistently gave them her undivided attention.
The way Sara intently listened without interrupting made others feel that she really cared about them and understood what they were saying. It was evident within the first few minutes of being around Sara that she sincerely cared about people.
Another admirable trait that defined Sara was her undying enthusiasm for life. She lived in such a way that made others want what she had. It was as if Sara looked at each day as a gift to be treasured. It would be evident after being around her for a short time that she appreciated life. The enthusiasm for living also affected others who were around her.
Her co-workers never once heard Sara complain. Not only did she show appreciation, but Sara also had a way of making others feel appreciated for doing business with the organization. Customers would feel that they were being served by the most thankful person in the world. This not only created a positive experience for the customer, but also gave them the desire to want to return in the future.
Sara also had an innate ability of making her customers feel accepted by the sincere respect and warm welcome that she consistently showed to others. Never one to speak unkindly, Sara always had an encouraging word to both her co-workers and customers. Her words were always positive, encouraging, and never critical. Everyone on her team appreciated how she chose her words wisely.
Her sincerity in helping as well as expressing appreciation to her customers had a way of bringing them back time and again. Everyday customers would arrive and ask if Sara was available to help them. There were even those who would go out of their way simply to be served by her. Even though customers had other places where they could get the same product, they would drive the extra miles simply because of the way Sara made them feel. She was valued by her organization, encouraging to her co-workers, and treasured by her customers. This is what made Sara a customer service superstar.
