“Follow Amazon but then make it as the policy is liberal as you can because that's going to be ultimately the best customer experience.”

-Tygh Walters

In this episode, I am joined by Tygh Walters and Michael Melgar of SellerSmile as we talk about the importance of providing a superior customer service experience on Amazon in order to engage customers and increase sales.

We go on to discuss specific aspects of customer service as they relate to Amazon, including warranties, satisfaction guarantees and Amazon’s stringent requirements for sellers. In addition, we cover best practices on the use of feedback emails, buyer seller messaging, product inserts plus expert tips on how to decrease returns and negative product reviews using videos.

In my experience, one of the reasons why customer service is so important is it directly impacts your seller rating and all of your seller account health metrics impact number one, your ability to win the buy box if you happen to be in competition with other sellers. Beyond that, it simply builds brand equity. It builds consumer confidence.

So stay tuned as we delve into aspects of creating a sales boosting Amazon customer service experience.
