9/4/07 - Test Driving Customer Service
I received a very interesting email last week that I wanted to share with you. It certainly made me think. I'd like to know what you think too. Consider the following:
"Since service quality is an intangible, it has very few search properties - you can't test drive a service like a root canal. Tangible products use the five senses - you can test drive a car. Now more and more potential customers are test-driving the company's services before they get trapped into an experience nightmare they will have to live with for at least the warranty period. The service quality test drive will, in the very near future, become a pre-requisite before purchase. It might interest you to know that one survey from Service Quality Partners showed that about 45% now investigate the quality of the company's service before they make a purchase. Many get the number of the company's call center and make a simulated call to investigate the response."
Do you think your contact center is getting test driven today?
