Defining Moments
- Defining Moments are instances when a customer evaluates the service and the organization itself.
- These include greetings, answering questions, offering options, problem-solving, and recovery from service breakdowns.
- Handling Defining Moments positively strengthens customer loyalty and can create a Positive Memorable Customer Experience (PMCE).
Customer Expectations for Star Service
- Customers consistently value four service qualities across industries: seamless, trustworthy, attentive, and resourceful service.
- Seamless: Customers want a smooth, coordinated service experience without dealing with multiple people or complicated details. They want the organization to handle coordinating events on their behalf.
- Trustworthy: Customers need confidence the organization will keep its promises and handle situations correctly. First-time success and quick, thorough recovery from mistakes are expected.
- Attentive: Customers appreciate prompt, polite, respectful, and considerate service. They want recognition of their unique needs and personal circumstances.
- Resourceful: Customers expect flexible, prompt, and creative problem-solving for addressing their needs in a prompt and innovative way.
The HEAL Guidelines

- Hear: Listen without defensiveness.
- Ease: Calm the situation.

- Leave: Make a positive impression with extra goodwill, fulfilling promises, and follow-ups.
The Way It Is Model
- Individuals interpret events through unique perceptions and values shaped by their background.
- "The way it is" describes the objective reality. Subjective interpretations (the way "I see it" or "the way you see it") can differ.
- Important to respond in a way that creates a productive outcome.
