The typical difficulties that customers go through and the importance of small companies paying attention to them we’ve all been there at some time or another. There has been an issue with our order or there has been a disruption in our service, and we need assistance from a nearby business. When we call the customer service line, we are greeted with a robot recording that neither understands nor responds to our questions. We push an infinite number of buttons in an effort to narrow down our request, all the while keeping our fingers crossed that we will eventually be connected to a real person who can assist us with our problem. alternatively we go to social media in the hopes of finding someone who is concerned enough to react to our problem, only to discover that chatbots and automated messages come back to us instead. The growth and success of small enterprises has been aided by technological advancements in ways that were previously unimaginable. However, along with this rise came an increase in the desire for more individualized and customized approaches to customer care. What actions should a company take? Do you want to incorporate the exciting features and capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), chatbots, and other technological breakthroughs, or do you want to go back to a period when actual humans answered the phone? There is no debating the need of providing excellent customer service; after all, it is quite difficult to run a successful business in the absence of satisfied clients. Call centers are the answer that a lot of companies are looking to for their problems. When I was younger, I used to work in a contact center. We offered a useful service to businesses who need someone to answer their phone at all hours of the day or night. We were the answering service for many different kinds of emergency service organizations, including veterinary clinics, property management firms, and restoration agencies. The fact that the customer’s phone call was answered by a real person and their requirements were promptly met was a situation that was beneficial to everyone involved. Call centers are established for the express purpose of catering to the needs of customers in a way that is both productive and economical. They have the potential to be an effective answer to the problems that many companies have in providing customer service. But what about the technological advances? When exactly does the use of automation become damaging to the success of your company? As more and more technology is incorporated into the process, the contact between a company and its customers becomes less and less human. It is great to invest in technologies that will help streamline tasks and reduce cost overheads when implementing your customer service systems and procedures. However, it is more important to keep your customer in mind and take into consideration all possible interactions they will be having with your brand. Will such encounters result in a raving fan following of happy customers or will the customers get so irritated that they take their dissatisfaction out on you via social media? The other day, I was browsing Twitter and came across an account that I was certain had been hacked. The owner of the account looked to have been highly dissatisfied with a huge organization where they had complained many times per day for a considerable amount of time. It became clear to me when I questioned the owner of the account about these many angry posts that they had all been placed on purpose. That is one dissatisfied customer right there! However, the worst part is that the corporation has not responded once in any effort to find a solution to the difficulty that this individual had. Whether it’s the use of call centers or simply how a customer contacts you to place an order or wants a problem solved, when you’re dealing with your customers, you need to be aware of how these interactions are affecting them in order to avoid having irate customers like the person who posted this on Twitter. Despite the fact that we live in a world filled with several technological options that may help us save money, a company still has to find a way to strike a healthy balance between relying on technology and maintaining direct connection with their clientele. To begin, analyze all of the available alternatives and think about how the customers would interact with each one. Will that particular option benefit or hurt your company? I can tell you one thing that we have heard over and over again from our customers, and that is that they are so glad that we answer our phones and respond as soon as possible to all of their emails. In point of fact, many of our current customers came to us because their previous web developer or marketer vanished on them, didn’t answer their phone, or didn’t respond to their inquiries in a timely way. This is the only reason they came to us. In your dealings with the customer service systems and procedures of various companies, what kinds of experiences have you had? Did it make you want to continue supporting them, or did it make you want to take your complaints to social media?
