Proactivity

Proactivity is an essential skill for anyone who wants to provide excellent customer service. It consists of anticipating the customer's needs and acting preventively, even before he has to request something.

To be proactive, it is necessary to always be attentive to details and have a broad view of the business and the market in which it operates. It is necessary to know well the products and services offered, as well as the company's policies and processes, in order to be able to identify opportunities for improvement and act quickly and efficiently.

In addition, proactivity also involves the ability to anticipate potential problems and find solutions before they become major obstacles for the customer. This requires a good dose of creativity and initiative, as well as a collaborative and teamwork attitude.

One of the main advantages of proactivity is that it helps build a relationship of trust and loyalty with the customer. When he realizes that the company is always ready to meet his needs and solve his problems, even before he needs to ask for help, he feels valued and respected.

On the other hand, lack of proactivity can lead to customer frustration and dissatisfaction. When he has to keep repeating his demands and waiting a long time for a solution, he feels undervalued and can easily migrate to the competition.

Therefore, it is essential that customer service professionals develop the skill of proactivity and put it into practice on a daily basis. This can be done through training, constant feedback and incentives for the search for creative and innovative solutions.
