Business expansion is something that should be pursued at all costs. However, many businesses overlook the fact that rapidly growing client lists imply a significant increase in customer service demand, which will have an impact on customer experience.
Not being able to efficiently handle customer complaints and questions is not only a bad business practice, but it can also lead to your company developing a negative reputation in the market.
Four Pillars of a Comprehensive Customer Service Strategy
A successful customer service strategy for almost any size company consists of a combination of these basic platforms for customer communication.
#1. Live Chat
While many people prefer to speak with a live representative before making a purchase or when they have a problem, not everyone is willing to pick up the phone and call. Live chat is a quick and easy way to solve problems.
#2. Answering Service
While being accessible online is essential, a company must also be reachable by phone. Every business that wants to have a positive relationship with its customers needs to have a professional available to answer calls promptly not only during business hours but whenever you need.
#3. Email
Customers can reach out to businesses with questions or problems via email, which is arguably the most convenient method. However, it’s amazing how many businesses take days to respond to a simple email, and when they do, they usually don’t offer any solutions.
#4. Social Media
Companies use social media as a prominent marketing tool, and it has quickly evolved into an important part of customer service. It provides a convenient platform for resolving customer issues and facilitating real-time communication between businesses and customers.
