In this edition of PestWorld magazine, our focus is on customer management—a cornerstone of our profession. Our ability to provide exceptional service and build lasting relationships with our clients is essential to our success.
Providing A+ Customer Service to clients is our first order of business. In this article, we explore how—by fostering genuine connections with both external clients and internal stakeholders, such as our employees—we can deliver exceptional service that truly wows our clients day in and day out.
Another vital aspect of customer management is knowing How to Say No when necessary to maintain the integrity of our operations. This article offers insights into gracefully navigating these situations, from turning down accounts that do not align with our scope of work to effectively communicating boundaries.
