For brand-conscious organizations who have never outsourced before, there’s a common fear that putting your customer care in the hands of an outsourced partner effectively builds a wall between you and your customer. We get the reasoning – after all, your customers are your most important asset and anything that adds a layer between you and your customers must be a barrier.

and donuts! I pulled into the Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru and asked the man on the intercom if he had any glazed donuts. He said, “Sorry, we don’t have any more donuts”. WHAT? I know this was at 11 pm on a Saturday night but how can you not have any donuts? Isn’t that what you do? Isn’t that what you’re known for? Isn’t the word “donut” in your company name, on your napkins, and on all your signs?

“How was your day today?”—that question is about as ordinary as they come. . It’s a basic and seemingly benign thing to say, right? But by asking that question, we get a quick sense of how someone’s day went, and we have an idea of where to take the conversation next. If someone’s day was “OK,” maybe we try to understand if it was really OK or if it was actually not OK.

Ever heard the expression “don’t be sorry, just change?” Sure, you have. Nowhere is this more applicable than in social customer service. It’s easy for brands to say or type “sorry,” and that’s exactly what makes the phrase less-than-helpful for customers. Everyone on social media – which is just about everyone – knows how little effort it takes to type a reply, so customers require more personalized attention when things go wrong.
