Any business that provides poor customer service fails. Customers who do not feel valued are much more likely to take their business elsewhere. Poor customer support can significantly reduce the number of customers who interact with a business. Any business that has fewer customers will lose money.
According to Microsoft’s 2020 State of Global Customer Service report, 90% of consumers say they expect an “immediate” response (within 10 minutes) when they have a customer service question.
Most Faced Challenges
- Instant Communication: Customers nowadays anticipate constant connection from service departments. This is, without a doubt, the most frequent customer service issue that needs to be handled by the company.
- Insufficient Staff: Their design and production team handles customer inquiries and requirements. But with the expansion, the company needs to hire professional call center agents.
- Lack of Proper Knowledge: The current staff is unable to provide customers with solutions on first contact. Once a customer queries, the staff has to hang up, find a solution for the issue then call back the customer again.
- Call Bouncing: Without a proper customer support team, the calls get bounced a lot before the customer can actually get a helpful solution.
