Growing business required to retain existing customers and add new customers. How customer treats service provider depends on how company treats or engage customers. Brand may loos their customers if they fail to maintain healthy customer relationship. Sometimes you fails to satisfy customer because you overestimate the customer service quality you provide, and sometimes you fails because of lack of timely communication with customer.

According to Pegasystems research survey – poor customer service and communication gap are main cause of customer frustration and business failing. The Pegasystems research identifies, many companies do not know their customers well, don’t understand requirements, interest, profile- how company can deliver services without understanding customers requirement.

Following are the points form Pegasystems study report and the reason why company fails to retain their customers.

  1. Business decision makers are out of touch: Many companies think they are servicing well their customers, 71% business leaders think they provide better customer service than their competitors – a number that is mathematically impossible to achieve! Four times the number of business leaders (40%) as customers (10%) rate the current standard of customer service provided as ‘excellent’, while only 23% of customer-facing staff rate their organization’s services in the same way.  An overwhelming 89% of decision makers feel that their organization provides an overall positive level of customer service, compared to 73% of employees. Only 54% of customers feel the same way.
  2. Are businesses really committed to providing good customer service? : While 81% of business decision makers consider customer service as either their main or key competitive differentiator, 33% of customer facing employees say they face no consequences for providing bad customer service. Meanwhile, 48% of customer-facing employees say they experience barriers to providing good service.
  3. Poor service is driving customers potty: 88% of customer-facing employees say that customer service is a priority within their business, but the customers themselves are telling a different story. Only 11% of consumers say that they find contacting customer services to be an enjoyable experience. Of those who expressed dissatisfaction, 63% say that they would rather clean the toilet than have to contact a customer service team. Only 10% say that their typical customer service experience is ‘excellent’.
  4. Customers feel like organizations don’t know them well enough: Despite the fact that 87% of business decision makers believe they know their customers well, the vast majority of consumers feel differently. Just 23% of consumers say businesses understand them as a person and their customer service preferences ‘extremely well’, while 63% say that organizations should make getting to know them better their top priority.
  5. Poor customer service can lose you customers: 77% of customers agree that the standard of customer service they receive is a major determining factor in their loyalty, with 89% saying that receiving poor customer service from a business damages their impression of the brand. Significantly, 75% also say they have previously stopped doing business with an organization because of poor customer service, with 44% reporting that if they receive a negative customer service experience, they immediately stop the purchase and move to another vendor. Despite this, only 35% of business decision makers say they lose customers ‘all the time’ or ‘fairly regularly’ as a result of providing poor customer service.
  6. There are a number of areas for improvement: Customers highlighted a number of specific areas of frustration within customer service for businesses to improve on. Their top three frustrations include taking too long to receive service (82%), having to repeat themselves when switching between channels or agents (76%), and not knowing the status of the query (64%). When asked what made for a positive customer service experience, 59% agreed that a quick resolution of their issue or question mattered most, followed by a need for knowledgeable service agents (48%).

“Good customer service can be the difference between success and failure, and what this study tells us is that organizations still have a long way to go before they are able to meet the expectations of their customers, The good news is that help is at hand, and there are a number of solutions available that can help them understand and proactively address customer issues, while also arming customer-facing staff with the tools they need to provide more contextual, relevant, and knowledgeable service.  Customers win, employees win, and positive business outcomes are delivered as a result” said Suman Reddy, Managing Director, Pegasystems India
