Personalizing customer service consists of targeting an audience and acting on specific objectives to increase business, build brand loyalty, and attract new clients or customers. For instance, a phone conversation between an unhappy customer and a customer service agent is best handled when a customer feels confident that the first person they speak with will be the last person they will have to speak with until there is a resolution.

There are a lot of successful businesses that are not the largest or the least expensive in what they sell. I think of Zappos and their success, and I think of Dunkin’ Donuts whose popularity has surpassed Starbucks in many markets. So what makes customer loyalty?

My client Jennifer called Bank of America to discuss a mortgage modification on her existing loan. Many of her friends and customers who I work with have had positive results modifying their loans; the process although at times frustrating and record intensive has helped many families remain in their homes with a more affordable monthly payment.

Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
