• The type of data you need to enhance customer service and how this will be obtained
• Strategies to engage customers and meet their needs including the relevant products and services on offer
• Communication techniques to use with customers, including written, oral and the use of technology
• Strategies to increase sales while maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction
• Methods to diagnose problems with customer service, and to determine appropriate solutions
• Techniques to capture customer, staff and supplier feedback and how you will review customer satisfaction
• Training you will implement in order to meet these objectives
• The budget for implementing these changes, and for ongoing customer service systems
• How the new customer service strategies align to best practice within the industry, and any current industry trends
• How the plan will be implemented, monitored and reviewed.
