Article : Who Is the Best in Customer Service

With so many companies providing different services, the range in quality customer service must be just as diverse. We wanted to know which industry sectors provided great service and which ones were poor, so we asked industry professionals for their opinions.

- a survey by Joss Jalbert, ContactCenterWorld.com

Sarah-Jane Heber-Hall
Operations Director
Computertel Ltd.
United Kingdom

"Whilst there will be certain industries that stand out, I think you have ambassadors in every industry sector and others that will fail miserably. The ambassadors however, will all share a common ethos, which will be the desire and passion to deliver exceptional and tailored customer service, which is shared by all within the company. The industry which best realises these objectives, in my opinion, is in the hotel and restaurant industry. The industry that under-delivers, in my opinion, is in the public transport industry."

"In my experience as a customer I do not recall the last time a company gave me a positive memerable service. Wait - I take that back and I will name them as excellent at service delivery Molton Brown."

Aminudin Zainodin
Assistant General Manager
Hong Leong Bank
Malaysia

"The Telco I guess. Reason being in Malaysia, people can't simple live without handphones. It has becoming the most important tools in our daily life & we do expect it to work 100% all the time. The telcos has been the 1st to realize the important of customer service & had been actively investing in Customer Service Technologies & people development to keep up with the momentum."

About Hong Leong Bank

Hong Leong Bank is a bank in Malaysia. Hong Leong Bank was founded by Lam Ji Chiew and began its operations in 1905 in Kuching, Sarawak under the name of Kwong Lee Mortgage & Remittance Company.
 
Silvio Stroescu
Head of National Channels, Analytics and Support
Tangerine
Canada

"The banking sector has been heavily scrutinized on a global scale over the last couple of years. Majority of the banks are responding well, some even making their customer service strategy a key value driver for clients. Extended hours of operation and the introduction of new channels of interaction with clients (i.e. online chat) are prime examples of a constantly improving customer experience in the banking sector. On the other hand, government offices seem to lag most industries in terms of customer service. It appears to be more difficult to establish a service oriented culture in these areas."

Phil Taylor
Chief Member Experience Officer
DUCA Financial Services Credit Union Ltd.
Canada

"Telecommunications has been the sector I personally have had the most negative client experiences with in recent times. This is typically in relation to their size and the amount of people you need to speak with to have an issue resolved.

On the opposite side I found that the banking sector has truly come a long way in the past couple of years in improving and focusing on their customer service."

"Spas and resorts still are the ones providing great service, this is the customer promise and an experience we pay for. No frills products and convenience shops are still the ones which provide poorer service."

"Utilities and banks are usually highly variable. Telecoms companies usually very poor on technical and customer error issues where the chance to destroy brand is very high."

 
Jonathan Grant

Vonage
United Kingdom

"I have had some excellent service experiences from the financial sector as it understands the importance of having customer details to hand when it is required. It is essential that when a customer calls the contact centre operative knows what has been discussed in the past and also has the right expertise to deal with any enquiry. As soon as a consumer starts being transferred to different departments and has to provide their details more than once their experience begins to decline.

One of the worst offenders for service is web based businesses. Often these companies will deliberately hide contact details to keep all interaction online and ensure that contact centre communication is kept to a minimum. This can provide bad feeling, especially when a customer needs something resolved straight away."

"- I think banks provide great service, the challenges they get 100 things right and it takes only one to spoil it. Most customers don't even see what they get right anymore, they just take it for granted. - Smaller one on one companies still provide a great interaction because they have to and its personal"

Niels Kjellerup

"Good to excellent service is provided by companies who understand how service adds value to their business model.
Bad service is provided by companies who have failed to see how service adds value to the companies future growth and profitability.
Worst service is provided by 1) Mobile Phone companies, 2) Credit Card companies, 3) Internetservice Providers and 3) IT Software companies."
