Which sequence correctly lists the four steps of legendary customer service?

• B. Engage; greet customer by name; create their happily ever after; thank and invite back customer
• C. Greet customer by name if possible and smile; Engage; Create their happily ever after; Thank and invite back customer
• D. Engage; greet customer by name if possible and smile; thank and invite back customer; Create their happily ever after

Answer: (C)

Greet the customer by name if possible and smile first to establish warmth and a personal connection. A friendly, personalized greeting sets a positive tone and makes the customer feel valued, which makes them more receptive to what comes next. Then you engage—listen actively, ask useful questions, and understand their needs. This step is about discovery and building rapport through genuine conversation. After you know what they want, you create their happily ever after by delivering a solution or experience that meets or exceeds those expectations. This is where the value is realized and the interaction shifts from courtesy to meaningful impact. Finally, you thank them and invite them back, closing the encounter with appreciation and a clear cue for future loyalty. Starting with engagement or other steps before a warm greeting undermines that rapport, and skipping a proper closing can dampen the sense of appreciation and repeat visits. The sequence that prioritizes a warm greeting, followed by genuine engagement, followed by delivering value, and finishing with gratitude, best captures a legendary customer-service flow.
