10 truths about social customer service

Vonage

Social media has changed the rules of customer service. There was a time when if a customer wanted to complain, they’d have to dial the customer service number and then wait in a queue for 10, 20 or 30 minutes. If they were a bit irritated when they picked up the phone, they were likely to be fuming by the time they got through to an agent. This was partly due to the long wait, but also due to the fact that this set-up led to customers not feeling in control or valued in any way.

Why You Need To Measure Journeys—Not Just Touchpoints

Kerry Bodine

The concept of customer journeys isn’t new to the customer experience world. Yet it’s taken some time for organizations to evolve from simply creating journey maps to actively using the journey as a framework for how they do business. One of the most exciting developments of the past few years is the recognition, in the words of McKinsey , that “end-to-end customer journeys, not individual touchpoints, are the unit to measure when setting priorities for your customer-experience investments.”.

Where Customer Support and Customer Success Goals Overlap

It should never be customer success vs customer service. Yet, somehow these departments have been separated.
