When you are hiring movers, you always want
to work with a
high quality moving company. You
probably know a bunch of local movers in your
area. You also know you can find a bunch more
online. It only takes a little research and time
for you to have a list.
However, that is
not the point. The point is hiring the best
movers. You want to make sure that you hire
movers who can well-understand your requirements
and meet your expectations. Here are 5-must have
skills you must look for while hunting for
movers;
Organizational skills
There is usually a lot of organization going
on during a move. For full-service movers, they
are expected to bring packing materials, do the
packing and unpacking, and every other task
involved. Now, this requires some great
organizational skills to ensure every valuable
is well-packed and safe.
Far from
packing, you always get a team of moving
professionals during your move. To coordinate
all responsibilities well and make sure everyone
is accountable for their tasks, they need to
have great organizational skills. This is for a
smooth run of the tasks.
Time Management
Movers need to know how to keep and manage
time. Usually, movers will come to your place
during the D-day/ the moving date. If you have
hired full moving services, then you expect them
to pack, disassemble, and load the truck the
very same day.
This calls for an ability
to work fast, swiftly, and carefully. Also, you
want movers who can keep time, not just for
themselves but for you as well. The last thing
you anticipate is booking movers to start work
by morning only for them to arrive a couple of
minutes to afternoon. It is so annoying.
Customer Service
Customer service is the backbone of marketing
in just about every business. This is what
determines your reputation, customer
satisfaction, and whether or not you earn a
repeat customer or not. From a client
perspective, no one wants to be served or made
to feel like they are of no importance.
Every client and customer want to feel like they
are important and be treated well. This is
mainly through customer service. Focus on even
the smallest details when in meetings with the
movers. Pay attention to their choices of words,
how they address you, their tone, their
attitude, and more.
Problem Solving
You also want to work with experts and
professionals who are quick to come up with a
solution if need be. If a couch can’t fit
through the door or the corridor, you need
movers who will find a way to get it out safely,
without breaking it or causing any damages.
Sometimes a problem may come up. You might
need more packing materials, or something more
complex. You want your mover(s) to be able to
provide solutions in such situations.
Communication skills
Communication skills are an in-demand skill
required in just about any field. People need to
communicate to work together, to hire and get
hired, to strike a deal and get a new project,
and more. Everything, basically, needs
communication to happen.
When it comes to
moving and moving companies, communication
skills are not an exception. You will be
explaining your requirements to your mover,
asking questions, inquiring about multiple
things, and more. You, therefore, need someone
who knows how to listen and answer your
questions, and reply to your inquiries.
Communication is also a part of being a good
team player. More often than not, you won’t just
get one mover. The company can send you two or
more depending on your needs. In this case,
there have to be excellent communication skills
for excellent work to be done.
