How a business engages with their customer base says a lot about their attitude. Do your clients, patients, customers chose to contact you? And why do they contact you via that medium? Communication has changed over the last couple of years. Many people today prefer to send a text, email, voicenote or social media message with family and friends. But there is one sector where this trend has not taken hold, customer service. Before we look at customer service, what is customer service? In a nutshell, customer service is providing assistance and help to consumers before and after they carry out a purchase. This means that prospective clients are included in this sphere, often this isn’t considered. As you’ll see below, most customers prefer to call and this is where we in Kendlebell Naas can help.
Our call answering service, improves staff moral and productivity, while elevating client experience.
A recent study by the CFI Group found that 76% of all consumer prefer the traditional medium of phone calls, when reaching customer support. Is there a split between younger and older you say? The statistics would suggest that there isn’t. More Baby Boomers than Generation X, Millennials or Generation Z phone in to reach customer support, but phone calls are the preferred medium for all age groups. Many issues are pretty easily resolved, an appointment rescheduled, directions given and so on.
According to Zendesk (2019), 81% of consumers say a positive customer service experience increases the chances of them making another purchase. In terms of customer service experiences: slow answers, long wait times, missed calls and voicemails would all be in the negative experience box. Providing a good customer services extends from the prospecting stage, before the consumer has even made a purchase. Plus good customer service, can encourage current clients to buy more and deter clients from switching. A massive 95% of consumers say that customer service is important for brand loyalty (Microsoft Dynamics 2018). 60% of consumers have left brands because of poor customer service. Customer retention is cheaper than customer acquisition, spending a few euros on support may well be a better spend than spending money on more Google Ads.
If you think that perhaps technology can resolve your customer services issues, think again. Automated phone systems are the bane of all customer service experiences, with 56% of all customers listing it as the most frustrating part of any poor customer service experience (Zendesk, 2019). Perhaps more of a larger company issue. Just above limited hours customer support (53%) and having to repeat ones self (45%).
