To be a good listener, you must pay attention, ask clarifying questions and respond appropriately. Giving your full attention to someone means that you are not thinking about what you might say in response\u2014or even worse, wondering what you might make for dinner. <\/h4>\n<p>A good listener is alert and listening for verbal clues throughout the conversation. This is an especially important skill if you work in customer service. <\/p>\n<p>Your customers are sharing information that can help you engage and create memorable experiences. Perhaps your customers mention a recent birthday celebration, their passion for volunteering or their favorite sports team. A skilled customer service professional can use this information to create a \u201cwow\u201d moment or to genuinely bond with a customer.
