Rosen's gives service an identity all its own
Article Abstract:
Rosen's, a retailer in East Stroudsburg, PA, adopts a proactive rather than a reactive approach to customer service that converts its shoppers into potential clients. The method allows customers to be more understanding which in turn creates more flexibility for the retailer, said Rosen's owner Carmen Valleri. As a policy, Rosen maintains a service schedule designed to solve its customer's problems within 72 hours as well as a 30-day unconditional return policy that has resulted in a zero return rate. Through the approach, Rosen's sales manager and sales force are freed from the responsibility of handling customer service to focus on developing clients.
