The Importance of Customer Service and the Rise of Call Centers

In today’s world, the lines between industries and markets are more blurred than ever. Your business is competing with thousands of others for customers and their attention. It’s not just direct competitors that you’ve to watch out for either. A restaurant is competing with grocery stores (homemade meals), online grocery delivery services, and meal prep services for customer wallets.

So how can you differentiate yourself from the competition? One way is to find what’s unique about your company and focus on enhancing that aspect. Another way is to provide a product or service more efficiently than everyone else. Discerning customers are choosing to look beyond price when it comes to spending their money.

Customer Service

Over the last decade, service offerings have become the focus of practically every organization. What makes a customer choose one service over another? That’s where customer service comes in. Like everyone else, customers need to feel valued. They like to know that your business is listening to their concerns. In many industries, customer service is the key differentiator between competitors. 

A key component of customer service is your call center. Even as more companies turn to non-traditional channels like social media to handle customer service, phone calls are the preferred method of customers to contact businesses. If you don’t have the systems or staff to provide good customer service, you will not be able to help customers. 

A single bad customer service experience is enough to lose a customer. Not only that but you have also lost the opportunity to convert potential customers. It is widely known that customers are more likely to talk about their bad experiences than good ones. It means that one or two bad experiences can cost you dozens of customers over time.
