We conclude this series of podcasts on the subject of Emotional Intelligence with a look at the area of General Mood, as it relates to the Customer Experience. Michael reminds us of the importance of courtesy and congeniality in customer relations, and stresses that failure to observe this is “the one thing we won’t be forgiven for”. He explains why Customer Experience and Employee Engagement go hand in hand. “There was never a greater requirement for people in customer-facing roles to be supported.” We’ve seen how emotional intelligence can be a powerful tool for managers, but it must be used properly. While it is especially useful for recruitment, there are real benefits to be gained when emotional intelligence is used to foster and develop existing employees. It’s not about “profiling”, Michael says. It’s about behaviour, and using emotional intelligence tools to identify and encourage those behaviours which consistently create great customer experiences.
