Front Line Customer Service
I browse an incredible statistic in a piece written by the Canadian Management Centre. “The common company loses 0.5 their customers in 5 years and [*fr1] their workers in 4 years?. This has important impact to overall client, employee, investor and provider loyalty.” Wow! Think about that statistic. 100% client turnover in five years and a hundred% employee turn over in 4 years.

Not ‘listening’ to the customer: It’s very important for the agent handling the call to understand what the customer
needs and not just hearing them. This will depend on the quality of the call flow diagrams and on the regular training
provided to the agent. Feedback from internal quality monitoring and customer satisfaction surveys needs to get to the
agents in a timely manner, so that the feedback loop and improvement cycle can work properly. Continue reading
