Many people are surprised when I bring up empathy in my de-escalation workshops. They’re looking for hard-hitting tools and frameworks to help them bring down the temperature in interactions with customers. But empathy? How does this soft skill fit in? Empathy helps you come across as a compassionate, non-judgmental listener. With customers in intense situations, empathy helps you begin the de-escalation process.

Those of us in the customer service industry focus much on procedures, ease of use, product availability, and the steps of service, to name a few, all in the hopes of providing our customers the best overall experience. When we have these processes down pat, we believe that’s “all we need” to ensure a steady stream of satisfied customers. But we’re leaving out a significant aspect of service and something very valuable for a customer in need.

The customer is always right. Right? Well, as time-tested as that may be, the underlying concept determining customer satisfaction is much more nuanced than someone being right or someone else being wrong. Businesses exist only because customers exist. To put it plainly, without buyers, there is no selling. Narrow down the scope and you find that businesses failing to prioritize the customer experience quickly fall out of grace and even risk going out of business.

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.

The IVR isn’t a topic that gets enough coverage. We gravitate to the shinier objects and tend to focus more on the agent experience, omnichannel, and artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, your IVR can be one of the biggest drivers of good vs bad CX. The IVR is often the reason customers start yelling and screaming before ever talking to an agent, and more often than not it’s the reason that most conversations start with frustrated customers and flustered agents.
