Best CSR Adapts to Personality Type for A+ Customer Service
Posted on May 1st, 2010
Customer service training programs for Call Centers, Customer Service Centers, and Technical Support Help Desks often fall short of the one tool that makes every interaction successful. What is the one thing that the best CSRs (customer service reps) and technical support reps do well? The best adapt to the customer’s personality type to deliver A+ customer service every time.
Picture a driver type customer calling for customer service and a CSR with an amiable personality type picking up the phone. Will this go well? It will if the CSR knows how to adapt to a driver personality type. Can you imagine a high expressive CSR and a deep analytic customer working well together? It will be far more productive if the CSR knows how to adapt to personality type.
Train all CSRs and technical support reps on how to quickly spot and adapt to personality type. Then celebrate all the positive results — customer delight, faster call handling, increased productivity, flexible teams that handle change well, and an A+ customer service reputation.

I received an ad in my email box for a customer service training video. Even after 20 years of teaching customer service, I still learn new things. So I took a quick look at the sample footage. What I saw was fake, neutral, and difficult for the customer.
