Customer Service & Customer Trust

  • listen
  • communicate clearly
  • provide accurate information
  • keep reasonable promises
  • respond properly when something goes wrong
  • treat people fairly and respectfully
  • follow through

Core behavior

Treat customers professionally, communicate clearly, and protect trust.
