“Conversations are the most effective way of getting to know customer needs and satisfying them.”
Local store promotes a current in-store offer, using a photograph to grab people’s attention, plus local, relevant and brand hashtags to target the audience.
Customer responds with a query, which is answered promptly - demonstrating great customer service. The use of a photo helps to confirm the answer and shows effort.
The conversation is continued, with the store colleague offering to reserve the item - converting the conversation into a sale.
The customer is happy and impressed with the service and plans to visit the store to complete her purchase.
