Call Center Surveys/Customer Service Center Surveys

Taking Call Center Customer Service to a New Level

Telephone customer service centers and customer sales centers (also known as call centers or customer contact centers) play an important role in many organizations. Some of the many functions they perform include:
  • Sales and sales support
  • Customer service, including solving customer problems, resolving customer complaints and answering a wide range of inquiries
  • Handling requests for repairs and maintenance
  • Handling billing questions and taking payments
  • Opening and closing accounts
While some organizations perform these functions primarily by phone, many organizations also handle a significant portion of communications with customers using e-mail and web sites.
Many Customers Hate Dealing with Customer Service Centers or Call Centers
The last thing most customers want to do is to call, e-mail or use a web site to request customer service. Customers hate to wait on hold on the phone, or to wait hours or days for a response by e-mail. Customers have little patience for customer service representatives that are rude, lack knowledge, have no authority to make decisions for customers, or are hard to understand and communicate with.
Customers often call or e-mail a customer call center or customer contact center because they are having a problem with a product or service. They may already be annoyed before they call, anticipating a lengthy and frustrating experience with a customer service representative.
That's where customer service surveys come in. Customer service center surveys tell you if customers are satisfied or not, and why they are either satisfied or unsatisfied. Survey results identify what has to be done to achieve consistently high levels of customer service and customer satisfaction, leading to increased customer loyalty and sales. Taking action based on customer service survey results enables companies to turn call center sales and service transactions into positive memorable experiences.
Learn from survey results to create a top-notch call center providing consistently outstanding levels of sales and service experience for customers. Customers often tell people when they have an excellent customer service or sales experience. They are even more likely to tell people about bad sales and customer service experiences.
