- 73% of business leaders reported a direct link between customer service and business performance.
- 64% of business leaders say that customer service has a positive impact on the company’s growth.
- 60% say customer service improves customer retention.
- 70% of customers said that they’d made purchasing decisions based on the quality of service.
As a result of all those things, 56% of organizations say they will focus on driving better customer experiences over the next 12 months. That’s great that leaders recognize that customer experiences should be a priority.
Now, let’s move on to what customers say:
- 81% of customers say a positive customer service experience increases the likelihood that they’re going to spend more money or make more purchases.
- 74% say that they will give a company the benefit of the doubt if they make an error.
- 61% of customers say that they would switch to a competitor just off the back of one bad service experience.
So, there is what companies say they will prioritize and then what they prioritize. There is a definite gap between the two. I wish that more organizations were looking at the lifetime value of customers rather than the short-term value because that would drive a lot of behavior and strategy on their part.
Will your company think of customers for the long-haul or the short-term? Instead of answering, act and show everybody your answer.
So let´s do something about It!
