Simple questions have the power to reveal some invaluable truths. Consider the question at the heart of every Net Promoter Score questionnaire: how likely are you to recommend our company to a friend or colleague?
The responses can help your brand to determine your overall customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. But how can you turn those insights into actions that increase CSAT and grow your revenue.

In the marketing world, businesses have moved from a pure B2C/B2B model to a P2P model (People to People). People buy from people, and customer experience should be no different.
The path to business success and growth is paved with quality customer experiences (CX). CX is arguably the #1 proven way to positively impact revenue, especially over the long-term. There are usually a number of touch-points in the buyers’ journey, and if a customer is not satisfied at each one, they can very easily go elsewhere. Competition is fierce, especially in a thriving global economy. Only companies that deliver consistently superior CX will create emotional connections that are strong enough to earn customer support. Once a buyer has chosen your company the challenge is to keep them as a customer and build a relationship, reducing churn and increasing life time value.

You know what I’m talking about, the desk or stand with the sign above it where you often have to wait in line and then explain everything that happened to finally get something taken care of?
Our guest believes that that desk sends the wrong message, not just to customers, but to employees; that it’s silently telling all the other workers, they don’t have to mess with problems or handle complaints because customer service will take care of it – it’s their job.

Customer is indeed the king. In today’s market, we – as customers – have become accustomed to getting what we want. From personalised interactions and connected experiences across channels, we have set the bar high and this is no different with customer service. In fact, according to a HubSpot study, consumers are now more impatient than ever. Nearly 90% of them deem “immediate” online response (within 10 minutes) from businesses very important when they have questions. It’s no wonder live chat software is becoming increasingly important and popular among marketers and salespeople.

It might seem like a good idea to use email to resolve customer issues or to simply solve customer issues wherever they find you. It’s simple. It’s cost-saving. But you know what else it is? Messy and risky. Messy, because your communications with customers are all over the place. There’s not a single, unified platform to manage your customers. Risky, because you can easily overlook customers’ messages from email. While it may be unintentional, you are more likely to neglect your customer issues and lose them, which isn’t exactly good for business. Enter customer service software.
