Collecting Customer Feedback: Too Difficult or Too Easy?

Lumoa

For some companies collecting feedback is easy. Maybe even too easy: I’ve come across a big corporation, which collects feedback, stores it somewhere and does nothing with it.

You are just wasting your customers’ time and fooling yourself at the same time.

Initially, customers wanted to be able to resolve their issues over email. Then they began to expect a response within 24 hours. Now, 39% of modern consumers expect a reply within four hours. 55% of Twitter and Facebook users expect to hear back even faster.

Making Customer Feedback Actionable - How Can AI Help?

Lumoa

In many companies, customer experience is measured, but the results are not actionable. The most widely used customer experience metric NPS (check what Net Promoter Score is about and how to use it for your company) actually gives all the necessary ingredients for the actionability.

And if it falters at any point, it could cost you a repeat purchase in the future—or your reputation.

3 Ways to Politely Reject Customer Requests

We all know that emotionally, people don’t respond well to “no.” As customers we hate it, so why would you straight up say “no” to a customer request? A by-product of saying “no” is that it often results in lengthy conversations, anger, and escalations. These conversations drag on for longer than they have to and get more people involved than needed.
