download I’ll Be Home for Christmas I’m planning to have a bit of fun with this. Every now and again I will comment on something I’ve seen, received or experienced. Chances are, it will be quite opinionated, hence the title.
Last week I received a simply addressed letter. I mean really simply addressed – my name wasn’t on it, the company name wasn’t on it, there was literally just the address. I assumed it was from a company with which I had no relationship. How wrong I was! I opened it and found the letter started ‘Dear Customer’. It was from HSBC, my business bank. Not only that, but they wanted something from me: it was a questionnaire asking for my very important feedback. Well, Mr ‘Head of Customer Experience’ at HSBC, here is my feedback – rule number one is address your customers personally. It’s really not that hard to do.
