This effort is designed to help entrepreneurs within the swimming community to find inspiration to make the sport better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s topic is customer service!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commit Swimming has an internal user success manual that is used as the guiding principle for all customer interactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a bit different though\u2026 it\u2019s not filled with response templates and objection handling techniques. Instead it has 4 simple principles:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be real\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Seek to understand\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Be honest<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Help completely<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Be Real<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No templates. Use true emotion, Use \u201c!\u201d and \u201c:)\u201d and words of passion. \u201cYou\u2019re awesome\u201d, \u201cThat made me feel great\u201d, \u201cYou\u2019re a freaking great customer\u201d, \u201cThank you for the support you give\u201d. No need for formal intros and outros if in the middle of an email chain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel free to be you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFixed! &#8211; should be all set now\u201d or \u201cDone\u201d are perfectly valid support emails here at Commit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be afraid to insert your life into the situation if you mention family or your own experiences in an email, that\u2019s fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone on the other end is a person and knows that you are too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Seek to understand<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you understand, first display understanding. On the simple end of the spectrum, this is as simple as \u201cThanks for the note. I\u2019m happy to help!\u201d (but be real with your own version in your own moment when you send the email).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the complex end of the spectrum, this could mean multiple sentences with an apology and reiterating how frustrated or upset the person must feel. Treat their upsetness as the end of the world that you are doing everything possible to fix. Because to them, this might truly be a big\u00a0 deal; which is perfectly understandable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t fully understand the request, problem, situation, say that and then ask clarifying questions. Let them know their answers will help you help them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Be Honest<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No false expectations. No made up answers when we don\u2019t know yet. \u201cI don\u2019t know &#8211; let me check\u201d is a perfectly good answer at first. Never over-promise on future features or feature requests. Never give timelines for new features or bug fixes and explain the timeline is unknown; because it is. Say \u201cwe don\u2019t do discounts\u201d, say \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d. Be 100% truthful with 100% of users 100% of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Help completely<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give them confidence upfront that you will help them completely. If the situation warrants it, use phrases like \u201cWe will figure this out for you. I promise.\u201d Make sure the feeling of \u201cthat wasn\u2019t helpful\u201d never is present in the user\u2019s eyes. Always refund right away if asked. Always cancel right away if asked. Always follow up to make sure the answer helped if they don\u2019t respond. Take the time to fully respond to even the most intricate questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using those four principles, Anyone can handle customer success at Commit. Be real, seek to understand, be honest, and help completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is Commit Swimming?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a live demonstration of Commit\u2019s software.
