Hi, fastlaners. My goal with this post is to be able to brainstorm about customer service with you.
I'm about to start a mobile car detailing business, and in that regard, my focus right now is to optimize the customer service delivered. It will be one of my methods to stand out from the competition - so I need to get creative about how to deliver a different and world-class customer service.
The entry in this business is pretty low. All you need is about 20k$, educate yourself using the machines and time. The one who delivers the best customer service will do best.
Apart from the basics, you expect from customer service like;
I hope you want to participate in this brainstorm. Especially you guys who have experience with offline service businesses!

Apart from the basics, you expect from customer service like;
- availability
- get what you paid for (a clean car)
- Guarantee of satisfaction
- Small for me, invaluable for the customer:
- Leaving a flyer in the car, that gives tips and ideas on how to keep the car like new
- ...
- Unexpected perks:
- Leaving a piece of chocolate in the car with a thank you note for using us
- An unopened car fragrance that the customer doesn't pay for
- ...
- Overview of the process for the customer:
- Texting the customer in advance. "Dear X. We will arrive at the appointed address in 30 minutes. We look forward to cleaning your car from top to toe"
- ...
- What customer pain can I remove?
- What part of the process makes my customer feel annoyed or irritating? Honestly, I don't know yet. But it's a great question to have in the back of my mind, so I will be able to optimize the process and customer service as I get more data and experience. What things would annoy you if you ordered car detailing at your work or home address
- Don't let the customer feel stupid
- Answer all possible questions in marketing material
- Simplify the process and possibilities (My biggest competitor for some reason made the ordering process unnecessary complicated. As a result, their Facebook ads and posts are flooding with questions like what's the price for cleaning my car? Is it possible to order to this and that town? etc.
I hope you want to participate in this brainstorm. Especially you guys who have experience with offline service businesses!
