Each week I read a number of customer service articles from various online resources. Here are my top five picks from last week. I have added my comment about each article and would like to hear what you think too.

The Secret Magic Behind Netflix Customer Service by Timothy Stenovec

(Huffington Post) Pretending to be a fictional character or offering dating advice would probably get you reprimanded — or possibly fired — from the customer service department of most companies.  At Netflix, taking on the persona of a Star Trek captain during a live chat with a customer gets you on national TV, a trip to Netflix headquarters in California, your very own captain’s shirt and an iPad mini.

My Comment: Netflix seems to have it together. They want to give great customer service – and they do. They empower their employees, let them inject their own personalities into their job and give them a very fulfilling employment experience. That’s part of what engages employees and makes the customers’ experiences even better.
