... rights to make their requests, without the administrator having to involve an attorney. Insurance has a bad enough name that such customer service horror stories definitely don't increase an insurance producer's desire to cross-sell. Nor do they encourage a customer's desire to buy more banking products and services. (On an additional note related to cultural differences, 99% of all agents would write-off these finance charges and any producer I've ever met would be insulted, embarrassed, and angry if their insurance customers received such charges from the bank) . One might hope these are exceptions — but too often they're not. Although all businesses would like to think they offer good, even great, customer service, few companies can prove it because they seldom ask their customers' opinions. Even such notoriously poor customer service companies as airlines think they provide good service. One airline, Southwest, has enjoyed great service ratings for years even though they don't offer two items that many airlines consider essential to good customer service: preassigned seating and food. Instead, Southwest serves peanuts and their customers describe the boarding process as being loaded like cattle. Yet when airline customers are asked which airline provides great service, Southwest gets top billing. The other airlines just don't get it. Southwest's excellence continually pays off. After 9-11-01, they actually reported a profit and were the only large airline not to lay off employees. Their customers sent them cash, voluntarily, just to keep them flying (Texas Monthly, February 2002) . Since the insurance industry was hurt by 9-11-01 too, are your customers sending you $20 bills just to ...

Moments of truth. Is that just a catchy phrase? Or is it another marketing gimmick? Actually, moments of truth (MOT) represent a simple and powerful tool to increase sales hit ratios. Jan Carlzon is renowned for his use of moments of truth to achieve customer focus. He's the man who became president of the ailing SAS Airlines in 1981.Within one year, he turned the organization around from losing $30 million to making $1 million. For many, Carlzon is in the ranks of Lee Iaccocca and Jack Welch. He credits the turnaround to moments of truth. Once Carlzon and SAS identified their customers' MOT, they reorganized the airline to manage them flawlessly. It all started when Carlzon began talking with passengers about their perceptions and conclusions of their trips on SAS. He discovered that when a typical passenger put down their tray and found on it a coffee stain that had been overlooked during the pre-flight cleanup of the plane, the passenger concluded that the airline was probably also careless about its engine maintenance. Armed with this belief, the passenger decided not to fly this unsafe airline. Carlzon and his staff couldn't ...

... It's human nature. There was no way to stop him. The only solid defense would have been to head off the problem before it became unmanageable. So what do you do? Even the best-run companies will occasionally create an unhappy client. When you and your employees face an angry and complaining client who threatens to take his/her business elsewhere, you can't afford to view the situation as bothersome or only as a headache. Dealing with an upset client offers you two opportunities: (1 ) To learn what your agency needs to improve; and (2 ) to make this client a raving fan. Saving clients, then, represents a real gold mine. WHAT YOU CAN DO Proactive Client Contact Studies show that a majority of clients do not complain. Consider this example from the airline industry. An airline lost all the luggage on one of its flights. Twenty-four of the passengers complained. The rest of the passengers didn't even let the airline know that they didn't receive their luggage. A startling 96% of all clients will not complain, and if they have four or five negative experiences with your organization, they'll simply walk away and you'll never know why. Regardless of whether they're trying to avoid conflict or they believe complaining will do no good, these departed clients will engage in the negative word-of-mouth advertising mentioned earlier. This means that your goal must be to increase the percentage of clients who are comfortable complaining to you when necessary. Transform unhappy clients who are non-complainers, and the least loyal clients, into complainers, who can become the most loyal. Your agency ...
