I can’t make this “stuff” up. It really happened! The other night I was at a very nice – and very expensive – steakhouse restaurant. This place was top rated for their steaks and seafood. We all ordered a salad. As the server was setting down the salads, we noticed that one of the salads had a tiny portion of salad compared to the others. It was less than half the amount.

Happy and smiling call center agents can help improve customer loyalty. To some, the title of this blog seems like a contradiction. Many have complained about their negative experiences when calling companies and getting poor service from call center agents.

With my imminent departure on the horizon, I wondered how do organizations avoid customer defection? It turns out that customers usually indicate they are going to leave, and you can see it in their habits. I see it happen all too often as a global Customer Experience consultant.

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.

Security is always a top priority for business, whether it’s a contact centre protecting customers’ private information, or businesses keeping their data secure.
