Organizations love to talk about building relationships with customers. The trouble is, most of the time it feels like they’re just paying lip service to the idea. Was Wells Fargo “building relationships” when it opened all those unauthorized accounts? What about the car dealership that forces you to haggle over price to the point where you don’t even want a new car anymore?

For some companies collecting feedback is easy. Maybe even too easy: I’ve come across a big corporation, which collects feedback, stores it somewhere and does nothing with it. There are no resources to read it through. While server space is cheap, and this might feel like an easy way to make customers believe you listen to them, don’t do like this. You are just wasting your customers’ time and fooling yourself at the same time.

There is a little irony that those of us in the customer service space have been observing since customer support first went online: Customers have become more impatient. Initially, customers wanted to be able to resolve their issues over email. Then they began to expect a response within 24 hours. Now, 39% of modern consumers expect a reply within four hours. 55% of Twitter and Facebook users expect to hear back even faster.

There is a place I get my car worked on. They do a great job. The repair center’s employees are friendly and knowledgeable. The car always comes back cleaner than when it goes in for service. This is the way business should be done. The head of the service department mentioned I would be getting a survey emailed to me and asked if I would take a few minutes to complete it.

Michael Lowenstein, Ph.D., CMC Thought Leadership Principal, Beyond Philosophy. For some time, it has been understood that, when purchasing a product or service, consumers are essentially ‘hiring’ a supplier to get a job done. The same can be said of employees. They can hire desired employers, and if things don’t turn out as expected, employees can ‘fire’ their employer, sometimes quietly, sometimes noisily, departing.

Ask any business owner or salesperson, and they will share with you this harsh truth. It seems like an endless pursuit of an ever-increasing revenue target with very few breaks in between.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. 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.

Interactive voice response (IVR) has been a staple of customer service for many years. While its requiem has been composed many times in the past, it is still around, alive and kicking. Together with its “big brother”, the voice portal, IVRs have been part of contact center solutions for decades, and there is no reason to believe that they will go away any time soon.
