Customer
Care
The team at Diamond Lock and Security understand that what sets them apart from the competition is their uncompromising commitment to their customers. Several factors are important when considering the various aspects of what makes excellent customer care.
- Communication – Diamond Lock and Security team members are encouraged to explain what they are doing to customers as well as apprise them of any changes, delays, or unexpected situations that impact their project.
- Education – Not every customer is interested in an explanation of locksmithing. However, there are times when a customer may expect something that is not possible. In this situation, a locksmith will explain the reasons behind the actions necessary to solve the customer’s problem. This is the easiest way to ensure customers are happy with the work.Advising a customer regarding price versus quality is also an important facet involved in the education process. Sometimes the least expensive product will also be the least effective product. Transparency is a key factor in this situation, as saving a few dollars while compromising personal security is not a reasonable trade.
- Efficiency – This sounds like a small detail, but it can make or break a relationship with a customer. Customers like to feel as if they matter and being on time and completing tasks in a timely manner go far in communicating the fact that Diamond Lock and Security value every customer.
