Answer
Service Standards:
 We will touch base with our customers to
update them as to where we are in the
process.
 We will respond to website
questions/requests within 24 hours
during normal business hours.
 We will respond to applicants
(employee/volunteer) within 24 hours of
normal process time to let them know
when they can expect completion and
any delays that may arise in the process.
Best Practice Model:
-Make it easy for the customer to give us their
business and their money. If they don't want to
do business the way we usually do, then try to
do business their way.
-Don't assume that you have the solution when
a customer’s problem comes up: be sure to get
input from the customer as well. 
Media strategies focus on circulating messages
through media channels to manage how your
business is portrayed by the media. Your media
tools might include releasing media statements
and fact sheets, offering on-site media tours to
encourage journalists to report positive
messages about your business
Advertorials are advertisements in the form of
news stories or reviews in newspapers.
Advertorials allow you to associate your
advertising with the credibility of the newspaper.
Social media lets you bypass the media and go
straight to your customers. Using social
networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter
allows you to follow and be followed by
journalists, drive web traffic, manage issues by

Question 3

RTO Provider: 91153 - CRICOS Code: 02672K
Answer
responding quickly to criticisms or negative
perceptions, and increase exposure for your
business
Product giveaways and allowing potential
customers to sample a product are methods
used often by companies to introduce new food
and household products. Many of these
companies sponsor in-store promotions, giving
away product samples to entice the buying
public into trying new products.
Point-of-sale and end-cap marketing are ways of
selling product and promoting items in stores.
The idea behind this promotional strategy is
convenience and impulse. The end cap, which
sits at the end of aisles in grocery stores,
features products a store wants to promote or
move quickly. This product is positioned so it is
easily accessible to the customer.
The customer referral incentive program is a way
to encourage current customers to refer new
customers to your store. Free products, big
discounts and cash rewards are some of the
incentives you can use. This is a promotional
strategy that leverages your customer base as a
sales force.
Take Them Seriously
Make customers feel important and appreciated.
No matter how ridiculous a question may sound
to you; it’s important to the customer. If they
feel like they’re being laughed at, or spoken
down to, they will not purchase anything.
Customers can be very sensitive and will know
whether or not you really care about them.
Stay Calm
Difficult as it is sometimes, it is important to stay
calm. Your calming approach will help your
customer stay calm too. They will feel like you’re
in control of the situation and that you can help
solve their problem.
