Forty percent of customers prefer calling a business to other means of communication. That’s compared to just 29 percent who prefer face-to-face, 18 percent who prefer email, and 13 percent who prefer chat. If your business provides customers with a phone number to reach you, you’re one step closer toward delivering a great customer service experience. To deliver an exceptional customer service, though, you need to understand the customer experience.
Just consider the following statistics:
- 69% of consumers say they wait on hold too long for a real person
- 67% of consumers hang up when they can’t talk with a real person
- 85% of consumers feel dissatisfied with the overall phone experience
Be sure your customer service is the best it can be — invest in a professional answering service. For exceptional customer service, you need live customer service representatives (CSRs) who answer calls promptly. You need professional CSRs who enjoy talking with and helping people.
