\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">When it comes to the crux of everything that a successful business has invested in and developed over years, it\u2019s hard to argue it would be anything other than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/improve-customer-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customer satisfaction<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Respecting the customer\u2019s views and meeting their demands should be the foundation any business is supposed to be based on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">In today\u2019s digital era, this is even more essential owing to the fierce competition between firms and lots of potential services for consumers to spend their time and money on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conversio.com\/blog\/75-ecommerce-facts-quotes-statistics-that-will-blow-your-mind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The following stats<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> will help you understand the critical importance of customer service:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Sure, you can value your marketing attempts and business strategies and hold them accountable for your company\u2019s success. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">But what\u2019s a market without the individuals who\u2019ve come through that front door and asked you for a particular product just because they heard good things about your services from one of their relatives or neighbours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Thus, when it comes to pleasing the customers, you need to account in several factors to ensure you maintain that community base over-time while bringing in new faces as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dosplash.com\/blog\/social-media-trends-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reputation of your business grows<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Below, we take a look at five such factors that can either favour or hinder your e-commerce platform\u2019s progress, and how you can correct them to good use. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">Over-promising or not meeting expectations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes companies will take up their marketing strategy up a notch, and unrealistically so, talk about hyperboles and ambitions rather than actual goals or existing strengths of their service with the customers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">It is hugely disappointing for the customers when they don\u2019t get delivered a product that they may have expected rightfully so as promised by the business itself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">This could be anything in terms of urgency like having a product available by a particular time, or cleverly lying about certain features via misleading trailers for e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/ubisoft-graphics-downgrade-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s4\">downgrades for the final versions of the products<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Your business could risk losing credibility and trust with the consumers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">If a similar situation arises, intentionally or otherwise, an apology is a must and not in just its traditional sense. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">If you don\u2019t want to risk losing your costumer forever, make sure to make up for your shortcoming by providing valuable discounts or anything which gives them a reason to remain a proud consumer. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">Automation and inaccessibility <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1480\"

class=\"s1\">Customers need real humans to convince them to buy a certain service. They need someone who will listen and not just redirect them to the FAQ page of your e-commerce site. This is where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/rethinking-automated-customer-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s4\">automation system is limited<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">You can still proceed with tasks like sending receipts, or verifying credentials but anything else requires a human touch. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">That is why your business should always promote live-chat or phone-conversations more than scrolling down a page of hundred questions to come across your query and the respective solution. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">For accessibility purposes, have a phone contact number front-and-centre on your website, signature, logo, or any other promotional material you can. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">For even better results, choose a click-to-call button which will add interaction and urgency to this strategy preventing second-thoughts or the old-fashioned \u2018will do it later\u2019 notion of the potential costumer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Most businesses will not respond or follow up an initial phone or email conversation with a customer, and this is really not ideal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">In fact, the user data concerning date of last contact should be reviewed for all potential consumers and efforts should be made to reach out to them to serve as a sort of a reminder. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">Underutilising or undervaluing your customer service staff<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Remember how we talked about human responses trumping automated responses above? For that sole purpose, your company should have an efficient, supportive and always all-ears staff in the customer service department. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Customers aren\u2019t looking for a confused, rude or frustrated individual at the other end of the telephone line, as that is one of the major <\/span><span class=\"s5\">things that can lead to a horrible e-commerce experience<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Nor do they want someone who is more concerned with proving himself right than solving the actual issue or question the consumer might have. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">It is thus important to listen to the customers\u2019 needs attentively and respond in a manner that gives that some degree of assurance on getting their issue resolved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Even when the particular issue may not come under one of your organization\u2019s member\u2019s authority, he should give customers a time frame within which a more experienced person will get back to them without causing any unnecessary delays. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Good training programmes and informative seminars would only add to the talent and knowledge of the individuals responsible for handling the customers\u2019 queries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">All agents and technical support members should collaborate to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible disregarding any tiers of customer service members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"> So a swarming technical support approach is better than a tiered one with hierarchies.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Remember the rule of the thumb:<\/strong>\u00a0Your customer is to be served, quickly and properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">Not utilising the user data properly<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Almost all businesses nowadays have a department dedicated to collecting user data and statistics, and using analytical software to deduce relevant results for the company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">The challenge isn\u2019t to develop such software, it is to utilize and understand the results. That is why every email or chat should end with a short feedback chart where customers may select the performance of the support team from a scale of 1-5 or even better just three options to narrow it down: Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, Needs Improvement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Thanks to everything being kept up as records including phone call recordings, chat and message history and previous experience details with the company, you can devise future plans accordingly and avoid ones which haven\u2019t seem to be popular among the masses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">This also applies to short-scale data like personal names and addresses because the last thing you can do is call someone by their parent\u2019s name or by a totally unrelated one. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Thus with a simple understanding of the results of the data, you can carry on to improve both your technical support department and help build better business relationships with the customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">Failing to reward long-term customers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.invespcro.com\/blog\/great-customer-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s4\">Invesp<\/span><\/a>, it is\u00a0<b>7x more expensive<\/b>\u00a0to get a new customer than to retain an existing one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">A loyal customer is a great thing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">An individual who\u2019s willing to try most of your new ideas, who\u2019ll stick through the thick-and-thin of your business ventures and has already spent enough time and money on your products, deserves to be kept for stability of your e-commerce. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Thus, it\u2019s no surprise many businesses are doing right by their long-term consumers by providing them additional incentives, rewards and discounts to keep them interested in new services and existing ones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">They will also be likely to opt for newer financial plans and offers thanks to the years of trust and reasons your business will have given them to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Businesses, throughout their cycles, are bound to make a mistake because they\u2019re not being run by machines. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes, these mistakes could be big enough to pose a serious threat to the company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">However, it\u2019s never too late for correction. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Everything can be retrieved with a few simple plans that are directed towards healing the business-customer relationship and the above points tell a similar story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Sohail Rupani is a Senior SEO Strategist for an agency known for best SEO Services in Florida <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pncdigital.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s6\">&#8216;PNC Digital<\/span><\/a>&#8216;.
