Nancy Friedman, who is known throughout the industry as the Telephone Doctor, is a keynote speaker for automotive companies of all sizes. Friedman’s client list includes CARSTAR, Big O Tires, Christian Brothers Automotive, Goodyear, Tire Pro and Midas. Friedman shares six tips for better phone communication.
- Just as you brush your teeth every day; you need to practice customer service and communication tips daily, says Friedman.
- Management needs to speak the same language as employees, Friedman explains. If management is not on board with the information, don’t expect it to get to the team.
- “People Before Paperwork.” Paper can wait; people should not need to, Friedman says. When you get a call, stop everything and handle that.
- Don’t rush the caller. Rushing threatens people. Being busy does not give you the right to be rude, says Friedman.
- When working with women, don’t assume anything. Some are familiar with cars and some are not, says Friedman.
“It’s ok to ask,” Friedman explains.
- The little things go a long way.
“Please, thank you and you’re welcome are awesome words,” Friedman says.
