Fascinating, isn’t it?
I asked you to read the above paragraph to demonstrate a principle. Your mind is vulnerable. It can see things that aren’t there. This is important information for those of us who work in customer service.
It can be easy to add details that are not present (that is, to make assumptions, have suspicions, etc.).
Let’s work hard to really listen to the customer and draw conclusions based on all of the information presented to us. Let’s not add to it and let’s be careful not to miss information.
