14/C. P5 Review own customer service skills, identifying gaps where improvements could
be made
Evaluating my own customer service skills, I do believe I did a decent job at conveying the
customer his or her problems. I acted calm and offered the best advice and help in my
ability. In the good customer service and the bad customer service role plays, the main
scenario was that a customer has approached me as he has bought a chicken breast which is
expired and bought it accidently. Therefore, I make sure to understand the situation of the
customer by verbally repeating his situation to ensure I have understood everything and
giving an exchange for the product.
In the good customer service roleplay, I aimed to show understanding and made sure to
calm down the customer first before engaging in the next step. Therefore, I made sure to
ask where he bought the product from as it can be purchased through the store or the
online store. The customer had mentioned it was through the online store so then i
proceeded with asking the customer reference number and the order tracking number and
gave lots of time for the customer to find and read out the details out which I logged in. I
then asked if the customer would like to get a new fresh product delivered or collected and
he replies with delivery. At this moment I asked if the delivery the next day after 3pm was a
good time for the delivery and he happily agreed with it. Finally, I ended with an apology for
any inconveniences and asked if there is anything else I can help the customer with which I
replied “no no thank you” which was then ended with a goodbye in a friendly tone.
I did make sure in to greet my customer in a good friendly manner with upmost respect and
kept it professional at all time when it came to the good customer service and disability
customer service. I made sure to keep a friendly tone when speaking with a smile and a
