'Customer Service' - no hear me out. Many a times a month I 'struggle' with customer service levels from my ISP call centre to the service levels of my local restaurant or my local DMV dept. I should also mention that many times a month i also receive stellar service from some service companies (so Im not a total ogre).
But really who as a child dreams:'I cant wait till i grow up and get to work in a call centre, sorting out frustrated/rude/angry customers'
I honestly dont know whats the solution ?
Is it a new customer-metric ? a New training-product ?
I different management style ?? An AGI-level bot ? Or maybe its an accounting-budget-allowance that allows the company to hire 'stellar university graduates' to staff their first line of customer service ??
I honestly dont know the answer. But i do know staffing your company with (what seems to me) the minimum-wage-candidates can do more harm than good. We need a altavisa-to-Google leap or a BBS-to-Internet type of leap in everyday customer-service levels.
Ps. Maybe the answer isn't 'better service', but for us(ok me) to be more ok, less frustrated and at peace with getting what I perceive as low quality customer service at times.
Sorta like instead of inventing a better non-stickpan for eggs, the answer might be to develop a better egg-cleaning method
- dogman144 5y agoIt's an interesting angle, and if combined with whatever makes a places known for their service become popular (I don't think it's just the service), I could see this making an impact. There is a real pain point around using digital services that are basically utilities, and knowing their customer service is a 4 option robot. The more important the product paired with the more worse service, it creates companies people really hate. A two examples are Chick Fil A and Ticketmaster. A blend of things took Chick Fil A to its popularity, and service is definitely part of that. Ticketmaster, which more or less just does not have a phone number to talk to anymore and a few day email delay to interact with. Have a problem with this ticket, at an event coming up very soon? Tough luck.
