Dealing with the public day-in and day-out can become pretty rou tine; bad habits can take root as quickly as good habits. We're all cus tomers of someone else each week, and reflecting on the treatment we receive can be helpful in dealing with our OWN customers. **How often when buying some thing do you find yourself saying "thanks" before the clerk does? It's a safe bet that our customers would rather hear it first from us. Do you ever feel invisible while waiting at a service counter, or sitting in a restaurant waiting to order? Chances are if customers don't think you can see them, and they have to wait to be acknowledged, you may have to wait before you see them or their money again. When your inquiry about a product - its quality, price or even if it's in stock- is met with less than a complete answer, doesn't it make you wonder? Does this clerk know anything? Is this the right product? Is this the right store? Even if we don't have all the answers to customers' questions or all the items they want, a simple explanation of why not and an offer to follow up can be big steps toward getting it right. Have you ever found yourself thinking "my weekend wasn't that much fun" while a couple of clerks who are "waiting" on customers continue their personal conversation? It's enough to make you wonder how they find time to come to work. From the first "hello" to the final "thanks for your business," customers are the most important element of business. They should be the center of attention. This can be a pretty tough world at times and feeling unappre ciated as a customer can make things much tougher. These sim ple tips can make a difference in your daily effmts to stand out from the crowd, and your Lottery district manager can help with special customer appreciation ideas. Have you ever been shopping in a large department store and can't fmd the item on your shopping list? Or, you find the right aisle but have some questions about the product? Customer service ranks at the top of the list for anyone who rates a favorite retail outlet. Customer service can be as simple as giving someone directions to the nearest grocery store or just a smile to welcome a newcomer to your store. Kansas Lottery representatives strive to provide you, the retailer, with the best customer service and support possible. This hopefully gives you the tools to provide the very best service to your customers. Happy holiday selling! Sales Dept. Sales Dept.
