How well does your business aid customers before, during, and after their purchase? Your business\u2019s response to product questions, order delivery inquiries, troubleshooting, and returns\/exchanges are all part of the customer service experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Unlike antiquated examples of customer service, these <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/messaging\/\">interactions<\/a> can happen across a variety of channels. Phone calls, emails, online chats, face-to-face interactions, response times, and employee attitude all fall under the umbrella of customer service experience.&nbsp;<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-customer-service-experience-important\">Why is customer service experience important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of a business\u2019s customer service experience cannot be overstated. Investing in customer service experience will help your business:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stand out from the pack<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep customers coming back<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn happy customers into your best advertisers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Define your brand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stand-out-from-the-pack\">Stand out from the pack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many companies and products awaiting discovery just on the other side of a Google search, it is more important than ever for your business to stand out from the competition. A fantastic customer service experience is one way to do that. In fact, 55% of customers cite a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groovehq.com\/blog\/customer-service-experience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">business\u2019s customer service reputation<\/a> as the determining factor in their purchasing decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-customers-coming-back-nbsp\">Keep customers coming back&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps a customer has chosen your product because it has more features than your competitor\u2019s or your price point is lower. Those factors can help make the sale, but what brings your customers back for more? Fantastic customer service. The way your business assists customers after a purchase is critical. After one negative experience, 51% of customers will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpscout.com\/75-customer-service-facts-quotes-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">never do business<\/a> with that company again. For maximum customer retention, up-selling, and cross-selling opportunities, it\u2019s imperative that your business invests in great customer service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turn-happy-customers-into-your-best-advertisers\">Turn happy customers into your best advertisers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right customer service, your customers will be eager to share their stories about your company. Sharing customer success stories on your website is a tried and true method of communicating your customers\u2019 support. Yet not every business has the resources to create long videos or write in-depth customer stories. Another method is to share customer testimonials. A great way to hear from your customers is by being active on social media and encouraging their engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-define-your-brand-nbsp\">Define your brand&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many businesses are defined by their customer service. The way that your business responds to customer questions, especially on social media, can shape the way the public sees your business as a whole. Take a look at how Wendy\u2019s utilizes customer service to grow their brand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wendy-s-nbsp\">Wendy\u2019s&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While this popular fast food restaurant is typically known for its hilarious Twitter roasts, they are also especially responsive to customer concerns. In addition to being entertaining, customers also know that Wendy\u2019s is accommodating.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"976\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wendys-1024x976.jpg\" alt=\"Wendy's\" class=\"wp-image-29144\" style=\"width:399px;height:380px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wendys-1024x976.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wendys-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wendys-768x732.jpg 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wendys-810x772.jpg 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wendys-1140x1087.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wendys-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wendys.jpg 1204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Utilizing the power of social media for customer service is a great way to capitalize on positive customer experiences and grow your brand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-improve-customer-service-experience\">How to improve customer service experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know why customer service experience is important, here are some ways you can improve it. The best place to start? Evaluate what you\u2019re already doing well. Establish metrics to understand how your company is doing and where you need to improve. Here are some popular tools to evaluate your customer service experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-net-promoter-score\">Net Promoter Score<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/net-promoter-score-explained\/\">Net Promoter Score (NPS)<\/a> is based around one simple question: \u201cHow likely are you to recommend this business to a friend or colleague?\u201d Customers just have to answer this one single question and rate their likelihood to recommend a company from 0-10. Then, customers are categorized as detractors, passives, and promoters. Detractors left a rating of 6 or lower. These customers were not satisfied with their experience. Passives rated a company 7 or 8, which means they were satisfied but could switch to a competitor with a better offering. Promoters are the customers who left a 9 or 10 rating. These customers are enthusiastic about the business and their experience, meaning they are likely to spread great <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/referral-marketing\/\">word of mouth<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-surveys\">Surveys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of customer <a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/surveys\/\" href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/surveys\/\">surveys<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/relationship-surveys\/\">transactional and relationship<\/a>, and it\u2019s important for your business to utilize both to properly understand your customer service. <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/birdeye-launches-next-generation-customer-surveys\/\">Customer surveys provide a deeper insight<\/a> into the successes and shortfalls of your business than a Net Promoter Score, which just measures overall customer experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-average-online-review-rating-nbsp\">Average online review rating&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What are your reviews saying? Do you have a method for analyzing all of your reviews? Having the right review management system helps you sort through all of your customer feedback to get a sense of customer satisfaction overall. It can also identify trends to show you if you have consistent strengths or weaknesses in your customer service. Let\u2019s say that you are an electronics company, and there are multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/review-management\/\">online reviews<\/a> with low scores, all mentioning the word \u201ccamera.\u201d Upon further review, you realize that the camera department is not always at the desk, frustrating your customers. With this insight, you could address this concern directly and improve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-social-media-engagement\">Social media engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All those posts, comments, likes, and shares on sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn can tell you more than just how engaged your customers are with your brand. <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/social-listening-tools-techniques\/\">Social listening tools<\/a> are available that can dig deep into this feedback to reveal positive and negative themes emerging within your market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customer-churn-rate\">Customer churn rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the percentage of customers who don\u2019t repeat business or who cancel their subscription. Are there any commonalities among your customers who have left? How can you improve based on that feedback? Getting a hold of your customer churn rate as early as possible will be a great gauge of progress when tracked alongside your other metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-simple-best-practices-to-improve-customer-service-experience\">Simple best practices to improve customer service experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Better customer service experience starts with employees who are all on the same page. Train your employees to practice these tools so that your customer service experience can improve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Communicate clearly.<\/strong> Speaking in a conversational tone, asking questions, and careful listening will help your employees communicate more clearly with customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep a level head in the face of negative feedback.<\/strong> If you are speaking with an upset customer, take a deep breath and remain calm. The calmer you are, the more likely the customer is to listen. Once both parties are composed, you can move on to solving the issue at hand.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Patience and a good attitude go a long way.<\/strong> Not all customer service experiences will be positive. In these situations, practice patience and a good attitude. Let the customer know you are there to assist them and listen. Oftentimes a customer\u2019s initial frustrations will wear off, and they will be more receptive to your employee\u2019s assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With these best practices and the right metrics, your business can improve its overall customer service experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improve-customer-service-experience-with-birdeye\">Improve customer service experience with Birdeye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Birdeye, your multi-location business can easily send out <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/customer-satisfaction-survey\/\">customer satisfaction surveys<\/a> to gauge how happy your customers are with their customer experience.
