Explanation:

a. A customer service agent is someone who offers assistance to it's customers on behalf of the company. The agent covers issues like; answers questions about the product and guides the customers on how to use the product. Customer services has become more necessary in the recent past due to advancement in communication technology and high competition. Good customer service ensures that a company can retain and get more customers to purchase it's products. When more customers purchase a product, the sales also increase significantly. More sales translates to increased profits, which is the goal of most business organizations. Some of the customer service skills that can assist a company to achieve increased sales are;

1. Communication skills: a customer service has to be able to communicate clearly to the customers to ensure effective transfer of product information.

2. Good listening skills: they need to listen attentively and play keen attention to details to ensure that all the customer's needs are met. This enhances trust.

3. Knowledge about the product: a good agent has to have extensive knowledge about the product since customers will be expecting information about the product from the agents. An agent who seems to have little information about the product will definitely lose the customer's trust.

4. Honesty: the agent has to give the customer all the information about their product even if they will lose the customer. One needs to understand that lying to the customer in most cases takes the customers trust away. But being truthful about the product, might make one lose a customer at that moment but at least the customer will have some level of trust since the agent was honest.

In our case, Milo should disclose all the information about the cruise ship including the extra charges for bottled water. The couple might decline the offer on account of it being above their price range, but they will have some trust in Milo. This trust could make the couple interested in the cruise ship at another time when they can afford it. However, if Milo decides to keep the information away from them, the customers will feel cheated and will never trust Milo again. In this way, Milo loses the customers for life as opposed to losing the customers only once.

b.

In this case, Milo is showing honesty. By disclosing all the information about the product, Milo is being honest about what the product is going to offer and it's associated price. Honesty fosters trust in customers. When a customer fully trusts you, they would rather purchase your product at a slightly higher price than settle for a product whose qualities is not guaranteed.
