I read that the average customer service call lasts 2 minutes longer than it needs to. Often, we don’t know how to get an angry customer to back down, or we struggle to move a customer from venting to a solution. Or we don’t want to be rude when trying to wrap things up with a friendly, talkative customer. The problem with longer calls is the impact it has on customers who are on hold waiting for help.

Rather, customer retention for SaaS enterprises is a result of the customer experience. It is an outcome based on an emotional reaction and connection to the performance of a supplier and the value a customer experiences through using that enterprise’s product.

A couple of years ago, I read a book that changed the way I thought about my business — and my life: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks.

Gay suggests we all avoid doing these tasks by delegating them to someone else or finding another workaround.
