Before you open your doors to the last-minute frenzied shoppers, ask yourself these questions:
- Are all your employees clear on your company goals?
- Are your employees portraying a positive and friendly interaction as the shopper enters the store?
- Are you treating your employees the way you want them to treat your customers?
- Is your customer service department and contact center is ready for this influx of calls and customer requests?
