How to measure customer service skills

Inside Customer Service

The feedback session was going poorly. A quality assurance analyst was reviewing a contact center agent's calls. The agent was upset about her quality score. The agent bristled at receiving zero points for friendliness. The analyst pointed out that the agent sounded disinterested. Irritated at times. There was no warmth in her approach.

A VOC MANAGER? MORE LIKE A TRANSLATOR

Futurelab

#NoBullshitCX #20yearsFuturelab “The customer voice is a signal, not noise.” What capabilities should a Voice of the Customer manager have? I often struggle to answer this question. The reason is that getting customer data and creating business insight based on require two different types of people. A researcher should deliver unbiased data, but a business operative should be biased towards the business.

Why Your Next Employee Should Be a Customer Success Manager

Retently

As your company begins to take off and gain momentum, it’s very tempting to think about scaling the technical side of the business. That is, you’ll quickly find yourself eager to develop your product and work on new features. Or, you may find yourself in a constant state of break-fix— forever solving problems and focusing on immediate pain points. Operating from this position means you’ll likely end up prioritizing the hire of additional technical staff (engineers, programmers, etc.) to handle p

QUI QUOTE: Your brand is not a result of your marketing actions. Your brand is the result of customers’ perceptions of your customer service actions. 

Bill Quiseng

Your brand is not a result of your marketing actions. Your brand is the result of customers’ perceptions of your customer service actions. On social media, customers are talking about you whether you like it or not know it or not. World-class or no class. And if they’re not talking world-class or no class, they’re simply not talking about it all. So, when it comes to your customers and customer service, don’t be just good.
