Line Time: I Will Call You Back

A customer calls with a complaint or question. You’re not ready to respond, but promise that you will. Don’t tell them to call you back. Instead, say: 
 
?I will call you back.? 
 
WHY? Follow-up phone conversations should always be initiated by you ? not the customer. Don’t forget to call when promised.

When customers make an unreasonable request, your first reaction may be annoyance. Instead of making a negative judgement, tell them:  
 
?I will try my best.? 
 
WHY? You’re not promising anything. And who knows, you might find out that their request is easier to fulfill than you thought.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
