We kicked off De-escalation Academy yesterday, and a student asked a question that I think is important for us to discuss here. His question was: “Our team is working 99% by email, will we able to apply everything that we learn here and translate it into a purely written environment? Any advice is appreciated.” Customers escalate in chat and email interactions intensely!

Phase 1: Compensating the physical world. In the first week of March 2020 I was still very naive. In my emails from that period I was convinced that by mid-May 2020 I would be travelling the world again as if COVID hadn’t happened. Just a few days later full-blown panic set in as it dawned on me I was basically out of a job. All my keynote presentations were cancelled and my mailbox was empty.

With countless emails, queries, calls, messages, and social media mentions pouring-in from every direction; it becomes hard to not miss a single incoming query. As a support agent, when the first thing you encounter on a regular office day is an overflowing inbox with nothing but customer grievances and queries, a subtle frown finds its way on your forehead.

Customers expect to be able to interact with your organization whenever and however they want. They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels. And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.

Abraham Lincoln used stories to solve arguments, often to the dismay of his cabinet, saying, “I don’t propose to argue this matter…because arguments have no effect upon men whose opinions are fixed and whose minds are made up. But this little story of mine will make some things which now are in the dark show up more clearly.”. Storytelling is an art and a skill that only a handful of leaders have known how to wield effectively.

While measuring Customer Loyalty with NPS®, you’d always get a few (or many) detractors. It’s unavoidable, but definitely hurtful. All businesses tend to have unhappy customers. And as much as we all may like to ignore them and look at the positives, we know it’s probably the most crucial to look at the detractors and resolve their issues. Researches suggest that the risk of customer churn increases by 15% just by not replying to the customer's issues and complaints.
