"Covid has made customer interaction very difficult recently, but I still strive to provide the best customer service possible. Not too long ago, I had a woman call the store asking for a diamond upgrade. However, she did not want to come into the store due to the fact that she was a stay-at-home mom and had just given birth to a baby. She didn't want to expose her baby to any illnesses, much less Covid. Respecting her wishes, I took it upon myself to give her my own personal phone number. For weeks, I sent her pictures and videos of every diamond in the store with long explanations of what the diamond had. I would text her and call her every day, answering all her questions and even worked off the clock for her. She eventually decided on a beautiful diamond and took it upon herself to leave a very nice and heartfelt review online, and even asked to speak to my district manager about her wonderful experience with me. At Wells Fargo, I believe I can offer the same, if not, better customer service to my clients."

Asking confirming questions during the conversation helps me to retain information and fully understand what the request entails."

"I always make sure to remember the small but important things a customer tells me. Most of the time, a customer will volunteer all the information I need before I have to ask for it. For example, in my current position, we have a client profile for each customer and it has a lot of personal questions such as birth date, anniversary date, spouse's name, ring type, ring size, etc. It can be quite uncomfortable to have to be asked all these questions at once. Instead, I try to engage in conversation with my customer, and they will give me all the information I need in a more relaxed environment. After the conversation, I will input the information."
Cindy's Answer

Rachelle Enns wrote: "A customer came into the branch with multiple requests. To ensure that I addressed each of their needs, I wrote down a few notes for myself to gather the information. This was also helpful because when I needed to answer the phone in the middle of the transaction, I didn't forget any of the important details and I was able to resolve both requests promptly. All the while, I kept the customer engaged and made sure their banking experience was enjoyable." Rachelle Enns wrote: "To keep track of transaction details, while engaging in conversation, I will ask the customer questions or repeat what they are saying to me. This helps me to commit their needs to memory while still appearing engaged, and in the moment."
