Article : Is Customer Service Evolving, Or Just Getting Worse?

In your opinion, do you believe the customer service you get today from other companies is better or worse than it was, say 5 years ago? We asked this very question to some of our members, and here are the answers...

Greg Beaver
Vice President Customer Services
United States

"I believe some companies are better and some are now worse. Those companies that have taken the time to understand their customers needs have the ability to flourish. Today's customer is more sopisticated and has more choices than ever before."

 
Ciara Coghlan
Customer Care Manager
eir
Ireland

"Generally I think it is better. Companies seems to have more desire to provide a good customer experience and keep customers. Wait times to call centres are generally not as a long as they used to be and there are more ways to contact companies like email and chat which help"

Graham Kingma
Vice President Customer Experience
The Shopping Channel
Canada

"Although I believe there has been more focus in the area of improved Customer Service, the offerings have become much more complicated from organizations. The knowledge expected of an individual providing the Customer Service has greatly increased, but the tools provided to that agent have not necessarily kept up with these expectations. Therefore, overall, Customers may have seen a decrease in Customer Service directly from the agent.

Customers have seen an increase in self service to assist with their Customer Service needs. Whether this be an automated check out at a retailer, or online access to bills and payments, Customers are more equipped than ever to help themselves. If organizations make these services easily accessible and easy to use, the Customer wins with a noticeable improvement in the service provided."

Jeffrey Folkins
Sales Agent
Bell Aliant
Canada

"Personally, I find that it is worse than before because I find that some companies are not properly training their agents and when you speak with them, they are not well informed on the products/procedures or they have not been trained on proper etiquette and customer service."

About Bell Aliant

Bell Aliant is one of North America’s regional telecommunications providers, serving a population of 5.3 million Canadians. Bell Aliant was created by joining Bell Canada’s regional wireline busines... (read more)

Jerry Farrell
Customer Service Operations Manager
Fresenius Medical Care
United States

"I believe the service has declined in recent years. The human touch in contact centers has been limited through automated menues and strict scripting, and agents are less empowered to take action to do the right thing."

Steven McKenzie
Head of Customer Care
Siemens Australia Ltd
Australia

"I believe that it is significantly better, even with an exponential rise in the expectations of the customer.Most, if not all, companies are now paying more attention to the voice of the customer and realise that this generation of customers consider themselves to be more transitory. Customers are now more aware of their options and are considerably better educated about their choices."

Ajay Nambiar
Head - Customer Relations
Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Ltd.

"I think it is worse for 2 reasons

1) automation has replaced the human/personal touch

2) human responses are too mechanical and not alive and refreshing specially in the hospitality sector"

Making Training and Development Part of Your Corporate Landscape

Organizations are always on the look out to save money and make more profit. Usually when it comes to crunch time some leaders will scrap training in order to tighten the belt. The downside of this is the cycle it creates.

Because some employers see training as a flexible benefit, employee development is often taken off the table. When employees don’t feel valued it becomes easy to see a revolving door. The constant need to hire goes up which ultimately means costs go up; we know that hiring costs more than retaining the right people.
