What are users' biggest frustrations when contacting Customer Service?

After struggling to find useful contact channels to solve their problem, users are often bounced from one extension to another, which is even more complex in these times of smart working.

"We are transferring your call to the first available operator" is the phrase that each of us will have heard at least once when contacting any Customer Service Department.

The first thing one thinks of during a service request are the long waits and likelycall transfers before talking to the right operator.

Twelve minutes and someone replies, "Hi this is Antonio how can I help you?" After twelve minutes of waiting and listening to the usual tune of problems you may have had more than one.

After an email and a Facebook message, the phone is the last resort to resolve your request faster, yet the operator asks you for a second time to repeat your travails because he has no visibility of your ticket.

 

Customers are unlikely to buy after a bad purchase experience

Buying a product or service again when it is so difficult to interact with the company makes the user frustrated and more likely to evaluate other competitors.

These problems are often caused by the absence ofa CRM or the failure of the CRM to connect with the PBX to gather these needs and study a service.

Theinability to consult and share user information in real time even within one's own team generates considerable loss of time and resources.

Also because one is forced to cope with another limitation the failure to route workflows to the appropriate departments.

Now let us ask ourselves: can a call cause the loss or retention of a customer? The answer is yes!

Every user regardless of transactions should always be pampered and helped not only to solve a problem but also to search faster for what they are interested in. Take for example giants such as Amazon who have made customer service their flagships, building loyalty and providing predictive assistance to their customers in every situation.
