4. Read the following article and identify new vocabulary.
GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE
Good customer service is the lifeblood of any business. You can offer promotions and
slash prices to bring in as many new customers as you want, but unless you can get
some of those customers to come back, your business won't be profitable for long.
Good customer service is all about bringing customers back. And about sending
them away happy - happy enough to pass positive feedback about your business
along to others, who may then try the product or service you offer for themselves and
in their turn become repeat customers.
If you're a good sales person, you can sell anything to anyone once. But it will be
your approach to customer service that determines whether or not youll ever be able
to sell that person anything else. The essence of good customer service is forming a
relationship with customers a relationship that that individual customer feels that he
would like to pursue.
