You're losing customers. How can you use feedback from customer service reps to stop the bleeding?

An effective way to use the feedback received by the reps & manage churn is to prepare a Reactive & Proactive Retention setup. Main steps: 1. Implement in your CRM a call reasons structure with a dedicated layer for dissatisfaction reasons - you can frame the feedback and analyse macro. 2. Segment results based on customer & product characteristics. 3. Start implementing in two directions: A) Proactive Retention - translate dissatisfaction reasons to potential customer behaviour before churn (predictive models); B) Reactive Retention - implement a process that allows your reps to respond on the spot with an action/offer if a customer is dissatisfied. 4. Build a dedicated Customer Service Retention team to manage churning customers.

I'll be collecting feedback or surveys from customer service reps. Then, I'll divide them into pain, fear, dreams, wants, barriers, problems, questions, results, etc. That will help me to know about the most common issues and causes.

Finding the crip of the feedbacks, based on the feedbacks, deciding the economical yet effective executable actions that can help in bringing enhancement of the processes and ideologies. Any changes must bring the tangible results within timeframe.

Make it a priority to dig deep into the root cause. If calls are monitored take the time to listen to them and hear how customers are being handled. Sometimes doing your own forensic research is necessary because the the truth doesn't always bubble to the surface. Also people have a tendency to want to keep their jobs so having them tell you what they think you want to hear is not going to reveal deep truths about self inflicted customer issues. If customers are leaving due to a faulty product then it may be necessary to get ahead of the problem by tackling it head on and letting customers know directly that the company is aware and is taking strides to correct the issue along with offering an incentive towards for the improved product.

From my own experience, main reason why customers are leaving is lack of attention to contact and detail. If you keep your customer constantly in good contact and care with full service provided he/her has no reason to leave. So as soon we recognize why are we bleeding in terms of customer lost we are able to bring immediate changes and improvements. Last but not least is to know how exactly are our customers satisfied with our service, don’t wait for survey, asking through personal contact showing our real aim, that we do really care

In prioritizing and addressing issues, adopt a proactive stance rather than a reactive one. Anticipate customer needs and pain points before they escalate by actively listening to feedback and observing trends. Instead of waiting for problems to arise, take preemptive measures to address potential pain points and enhance the customer experience. By being proactive, you not only prevent issues from occurring but also demonstrate a commitment to continuously improving the customer journey. This proactive approach fosters trust, loyalty, and long-term satisfaction, setting the stage for sustainable growth and success.

By involving your reps in the decision-making process, they can take ownership of customer retention initiatives and feel inspired to work together towards a shared goal.

This collaborative approach boosts team morale and performance and shows your customers that you care about their voices and opinions. Ultimately, this helps to strengthen trust and loyalty among your customers.

Ever witnessed a company dealing with delivery hiccups? Picture this: after sorting out the issues, they gather the support team for a chat. They spill the beans on what went wrong, seek the team's input, and even throw in some well-deserved recognition. It's akin to turning a problem into a team project. Involving the support reps not only boosts morale but also turns them into enthusiastic promoters of customer happiness.

After getting this data, prepared a plan and also share with your customers those give you their valuable time for giving feedback, that what will you do in the favor of customer service. It will also build a loyal relationship between you and your customer because customer feels there importance in your eyes and realized how much you care about there openion and customer service improvement.

Involving your customer service reps in the process is so important. They possess unique key insights from daily interactions with customers, making them invaluable sources of real-time feedback and firsthand observations. Their frontline perspective enables them to identify recurring pain points, emerging trends, and nuanced customer sentiments that might not be evident from raw data alone.

Customer feedback is a way of getting into the customers mind a get a picture of how they view the company and the persons serving them. Address the feedback by quantifying the issues reported. Discuss these issues in a meeting setting and encourage employees to provide suggestions to solve these issues. Review processes and procedures and identify ways to improve the customer experience. Provide customer service training to staff. Provide coaching both observational and one on one.

Customer satisfaction is the most important in customer loyalty & retention rate. So, we must measure the outcome of the efforts. It might happen that one problem has two solutions, so we need to measure the impact or let customer satisfaction for both, and then we can improve the outcome.

Let’s say a company identifies a recurring problem – slow responses to customer issues. Post the fix, they keep tabs on things. It's like checking the pulse after a medical procedure – you want to see improvement. By tracking metrics like customer satisfaction and response times, they figure out what works and what doesn’t. It's a continuous loop of improvement, ensuring their strategies evolve with changing customer needs.
