BSBCUS401 Coordinate Implementation Of Customer Service Strategies Assessment 3 Answer
Answer
Task 1
Good morning Sir,
I hope you are in the best of health and I am happy to contact you regarding the strategies that we need to work on for the future of Soaps and Suds. I had called to discuss changes in the strategy as noted in the implementation plan for addressing the gaps in the service still existing. Considering the Quarter 4 survey results, the strategies for waiting time and the comfort of the customers to wait have been successful. Moreover, strategies for Cost Management have also been successful. However I would like your input regarding any potential changes that can be made in the current strategies for further improvement.
I would request you to consider the implementation plan drafted earlier for your valuable input.
Eagerly waiting for your response
Thanks and regards

The implementation plan above had been updated for managing the dissatisfaction of the customers regarding the operation hours in Soaps and Suds based on the consultation with the manager. It was felt that the staffs might not be ready to work in a place with 24X7 and this might affect their health and work life balance (Batt et al. 2019). Hence three shifts of 8 hours each had been suggested by the manager to ensure the well being of the staffs as it was felt by the manager that the staffs out of frustration and tiredness were not managing the hours of operation efficiently. Furthermore, the need for the online application and chat bots had been introduced based on the suggestion of the manager to give more convenience to customers and to involve them in making the hours of operation successful.
Task 3
I was initially not well prepared for handling the consultation process with the Manager as I did not had idea about the suggestions that I would made regarding the changes in the strategies for improving the satisfaction of the customers with the hours of operation. I was also anxious at the preparation of the consultation s it was the first time that I was talking directly with the manager and so I was anxious if I would be able to interact with him and manage the situation on phone. Moreover considering I had limited time for preparation, I was not very confident about the preparation.
I had attempted to communicate information clearly with the manager as the manager did not follow up the reviews and feedback on the implementation plan. Hence for better communication and for exchanging all information clearly, I had made notes that I need to communicate and though of communicating through e-mail.
I found the manager to be very cooperative and he was also very responsive towards me and openly suggested effective strategies that I had not conceived. The input gained had been instrumental in the updating of the implementation plan.
I had faced difficulties in indentifying possible changes to the implementation plan due to my limited knowledge ad lack of experience however I had received immense support from the manager that had been extremely helpful.
I believe that based on the consultation with manager, I had successful updated the new implementation plan and discussed the plan with the staffs in Soaps and Suds.
