I actually laughed out loud when I read this. (If you click on the image, you’ll see a larger version. This is a winner from an Amazon.com rep who goes by the name Thor. Talk about someone who knows how to engage a customer!
The rep recognized right away that this was a customer who might have a sense of humour, then leveraged it to an outstanding outcome. This is what customer service is all about – connecting with each customer as an individual, having compassion and building a relationship.
Sure, any rep could have responded to the inquiry and satisfied a customer with a one-day delivery freebie. But Thor took the opportunity to turn it into a memorable experience.
This one’s going in the books for one of the best customer experiences of 2014!
