In this digital age, we are faced with intense competition. The customer experience is often found to be a primary differentiator, regardless of industry, which is why great customer service is so fundamentally important to companies today. Research supports this, showing that 55% of consumers are willing to pay more for a guaranteed positive customer experience.
When we fail to meet customer expectations, they are able to move on and purchase their goods and services from a competitor quite easily. Furthermore, companies that conduct business operations online – includes sales and returns – have a higher risk of losing customers due to a poor customer experience just because they are engaging with customers more. The more we engage with our customers, the more opportunity there is to fail from a customer service standpoint.
Here’s how to avoid a major customer service fail and keep from losing valuable customers.
