Author: Jeremy Watkin. Surveys are a great way to listen to the voice of the customer, so don’t misconstrue the title of this article as being “anti-survey.” Problems occur, however, when surveys become the only way we listen to customers — especially when you consider that a good survey response rate is in the realm of 20-30%. That means you never hear from 70-80% of customers.

Average handle time, or AHT, is an important call center metric. In the simplest terms, AHT is the average time it takes to handle a call or transaction from start to finish – from call initiation, to hold time, to talk time, and all the way through to any related tasks an agent must perform post-phone call to resolve that call. To calculate AHT, add your total talk time + total hold time + total after-call tasks, and then divide by the number of total calls.

As we touched on in last week’s episode, the unjust killing of George Floyd has prompted many of us to look at our own relationship with perpetuating racial injustice and to look for ways we can participate in and reinforce racial equity. At Intercom, we have a lot of work to do in that regard but we feel that a small and organic way for us to start is by connecting the audience we’ve built for this podcast with voices that need to be heard but traditionally aren’t, particularly in t

Most survey programs provide information: “Our Net Promoter Score (NPS) is 25, up from 22, compared to our competitive benchmark of 30.” While those figures might be interesting, they don’t provide the context that is essential for prompting action.

Have you ever picked a line at the store only to realize that you chose the longest, most slowly moving line? Have you ever waited forever to receive a shipment and then felt like they owed you an explanation for what could possibly take that long? Have you ever had such a great time laughing and talking in line with other people that you didn’t even notice how long you waited?

It is possible for a company to really change their culture with a well designed VoC program. But to do so, VoC has to be more than complaint management. And if you focus only on recover alerts , that’s what it will be. You should leverage positive customer feedback as well! One way to accomplish this is to strategically utilize recognize alerts within your organization.

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.

This has got to be the best video “primer” on Customer Experience (CX) that I’ve seen, highlighting the what, how, and WHY of CX. Worth the ~7 minutes for both fun and education, IMHO. I especially love “TSS” as a tongue-in-cheek replacement for NPS… far too much time is spent on watching the KPI and not enough on the action!
