The Customer is Our North Star
Employee: Alex Position: Retail Development Sup. Scenario: Alex interacts with customers interested in purchasing mobile plans, devices, and related services. The store emphasizes customer satisfaction and teamwork to drive sales and retain customers. Alex's has been noted to demonstrate the following: 1. Engages with customers when necessary but often passes responsibilities to others: When a customer approaches Alex with a question about a complex mobile plan, instead of taking the time to explain the details, Alex quickly directs the customer to a colleague hence creating an impression that Alex is unwilling to handle challenging inquiries. 2. During a store-wide promotional event, Alex assists with setting up displays and attends to customers. However, he limits his interactions to brief, surface-level conversations, often focusing on tasks rather than engaging customers in meaningful discussions about their needs and preferences. This results in missed opportunities to upsell products. 3. Expresses concern for customer satisfaction in meetings but rarely volunteers to lead initiatives or follow up on suggestions. For instance, when the team decides to implement a new feedback system, Alex does not actively participate in its execution or track customer feedback to identify areas for improvement.
