INTRODUCTION TO “RADICAL CUSTOMER SERVICE” THE MISERABLE STATE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IN 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017….. Each minute of every day, 24 hours a day, there are 32,343 Google searches for the phrase “customer service”. That’s JUST on Google, not any other search engines. Amazon lists 424,469 titles for books and documents related to the same phrase. That’s a whole lotof books.
Hardly a day goes by without the release of research and advice about what customers want, and how to improve customer service. Companies like Gallup, Forrester, The Temkin Group, and several hundred others churn out findings, and sell their advice to companies looking to gain a competitive advantage. Customer advocates deliver keynote addresses at conferences, write blogs, tweet their tweets and exhort companies to do this, that and the other thing to “up their service game”. Customers share their experiences, often bad ones, on social media. As … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Psychology of Customers,
Radical Customer Service RADICAL CUSTOMER SERVICE: ELEVEN PILLARS __ Posted on October 20, 2019__ by Robert Bacal

RADICAL CUSTOMER SERVICE: WINNING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WARS ELEVEN PILLARS OF RADICAL CUSTOMER SERVICE So long as you do what everyone is doing in customer service, you have no chance at using customer service as a competitive advantage. The basic principle behind radical customer service is simple, and applies to many other areas in business. When you see everyone moving in one direction, and saying the same things, in all likelihood, the common knowledge it appears everyone agress with is either wrong, or sufficiently wrong to lead you in thewrong direction.
Consistent with this principle, here are ten tenets or pillars to help you make more effective decisions about your customer servicestrategies.
1) QUESTION EVERYTHING Forsake the “common and accepted wisdom” about customer behavior, or at least look at that wisdom with a critical eye. The important question to ask: Does this apply to OUR customers? That’s because … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Psychology of Customers,

Research On Customer Service WHY COMPANIES DON’T AND WON’T IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE REASON IS PRETTY RATIONAL __ Posted on June 6, 2020__ by Robert Bacal

WHY COMPANIES DON’T AND WON’T IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE There’s a great cacophony of nonsense about a lot of things related to customer service particular by self-proclaimed experts with large followings on Twitter. While these folks are good at self-promotion one has to wonder what qualifies them to provide advice or insight about why companies do what they do, and why the don’t do better. Their comments are indeed perplexing. First up, two people who go very mad a me when, after they yelled that companies should be providing WOW level customer service, I asked: > HOW MUCH MORE WILL YOU PAY TO GET THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE? At first they couldn’t understand the question. Then they suggested “it should be “on the company”. Then they got real mad when I asked a few more challenging questions about whether customer service was cost free to businesses. Clear that these people have NO understanding … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in General Topics, Improving

Service & Business Strategy TECHNOLOGY FAILS TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE __ Posted on June 5, 2020__ by Robert Bacal

Human beings are wired for face-to-face and voice communication HAS TECHNOLOGY “HIT THE WALL” IN IMPROVING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE ANDCUSTOMER SERVICE?
In the last few months, conversation about chat bots (“intelligent machines that emulate human conversation) have entered the news. It’s amazing that computers can even approach conversational intelligence, so they can be mistaken as real humans online, but of course, there have been lots of errors – a Google chat box hateschildre

and the Microsoft bot, Tay, ended up being gamed to talk like a homicidal hate monger.
Situations like that are more a result of imperfect technology, rather than problems that are irresolvable, so it’s quite possible, bots will get to the point where they function like humans. At least intext.
Companies are already using rudimentary versions of such software to serve customers, but the whole thing begs the question: Will this technology, or … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Social Media & Customer Service,
Technology & Customer Service COMPLEX SYSTEMS THE SOURCE OF MAJORITY OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FAILURES – PART I BY ROBERT BACAL __ Posted on June 4, 2020__ by Robert Bacal

COMPLEX SYSTEMS THE SOURCE OF MAJORITY OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FAILURES – PART I BY ROBERT BACAL Why IS customer service so poor. Survey data, for what that’s worth, shows customers feel that it’s getting worse. Who should we blame? Here’s the customer service team for a well known electronics retailer, and WOW, they are all keen to help. Except for that guy in the back row who’s responsible for keeping the registers running properly. He’s a slacker. Guess what. There goes the system! If you tune into the mavens on the #custserv chat on Twitter, apparently, everyone and anyone is to blame. It’s the CEO. It’s the HR department for hiring the wrong people. It’s a “generational thing”. It’s attitude. It’s a lack of love(Urp).
When you see people blaming everyone, or suggesting a multitude of sources/causes for problems, it is a good bet that they are lookingfor

Rethinking Customer Service QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE, SUSTAINABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE- IT’S ABOUTBALANCE
Sustainability is an important concept for our current world, but it applies to things other than environmental concerns. Sustainability refers to an approach that considers the ability of a product or process to continue to “work” over the long haul, and that “respects” the stakeholders and resources involved in theendeavor.
HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE? We live in a time of lip service to the values of offering top quality service and improving the customer experience. Much talk. Little result. Data suggests that despite all the talk, customers perceive that the customer service they receive has gotten worse over time, despite the “commitments” companies have made, and despite the addition of technology in the mix. Sustainable customer service means identifying the CORE elements that customers require AND that are reasonable in terms … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Service & Business Strategy SEVEN REASONS WHY SOCIAL MEDIA NEGATIVELY AFFECTS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE __ Posted on June 2, 2020__ by Robert Bacal

EIGHT REASONS WHY SOCIAL MEDIA NEGATIVELY AFFECTS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE There’s been so much buzz about how social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) are improving customer service and the customer experience,but is that true?
While there is anecdotal evidence that social media can be used effectively for customer service, ON AVERAGE it’s not going tohappen.
Customer service is judged as getting worse, and one reason — in fact a main intermediate cause is that adding social media to the mix ADDS costs to business. A company that offers poor customer service on their websites, in email, on forums, via telephone, etc, will NEVER improve their service by using social media, because they aren’t addressing the rootcauses.
In fact there’s ample empirical and logical evidence to suggest the opposite. One of the reasons why the true effects of technology are lost is that very few of … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Social Media & Customer Service 9 REASONS WHY LARGE COMPANIES SHOULD NOT RELY ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS A CUSTOMER SERVICE TOOL – RETHINKING CUSTOMER SERVICE __ Posted on June 1, 2020__ by Robert Bacal

RETHINKING CUSTOMER SERVICE 9 REASONS WHY LARGE COMPANIES SHOULD NOT RELY ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS A CUSTOMER SERVICE TOOL Customer service continues to go in the wrong direction, and the degradation of customer service is moving at incredible speed. Fueled by a number of myths and bad thinking about both customer service and social media, companies, large and small, are actually delivering worse customer service than before. 1. YOU DON’T NEED TO BE “WHERE THE CUSTOMER IS” TO PROVIDECUSTOMER SERVICE.
It’s a myth that you need to be “where the customer is”. You need to be “found” when people need help. They bought the product, or they want info about the service. THEY WILL FIND YOU. Customers simply don’t care what channel they use compared to getting fast, thorough help with their needs. Period. They’ll email. They’ll phone. They will find you. 2) SPREADING CUSTOMER SERVICE RESOURCES TOO … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Service & Business Strategy,
Social Media & Customer Service TOUGHEST CUSTOMER SERVICE JOBS? GOVERNMENT. HERE’S WHY __ Posted on May 31, 2020__ by Robert Bacal

TOUGHEST CUSTOMER SERVICE JOBS? GOVERNMENT. HERE’S WHY Where do you find the most taxing jobs in customer service? While call center work in any sector is challenging and often frustrating, jobs in government that involve working with the public are, by far, the most difficult customer service jobs on the planet. Having worked with thousands of government staff to help them deal effectively with citizens, there’s no question in my mind that the demands made upon government in general, and employees who “serve” are often unreasonable, and impossible to meet. That’s not the fault of anyone, but a product of how government works, and basic humanpsychology.
Why? Why is it that we in the West, particularly in the USA, pride ourselves on a democratic government system, yet revile and look down upon the “overpaid, arrogant, lazy, stupid and slow” employees who work in that very government system?

SOLVING THE GOVERNMENT CUSTOMER ISSUE BY ROBERT BACAL In our work in training government staff to deal with abusive or hostile members of the public, we often refer to those members of the public as “customers”. Occasionally, we will be asked to do seminars on this topic but to eliminate the word “customer” from the title because many government staff reject the idea that government customers are the same as, let’s say customers of Wal-Mart of any other retail or service establishment. The difficulty with this resistance is that if we don’t consider the public our “customers” that we run the risk of acting in bureaucratic, non-responsive ways, fulfilling exactly the negative expectations of taxpayers and users of government services. Resistance to the use of the word “customer” is generally based on an inaccurate notion of what the word customer means, in retail, service or public sectors. Let’s clarify this. … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Government & Customer Service WHEN AND WHEN NOT TO WORK ON CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT __ Posted on May 29, 2020__ by Robert Bacal

Customer Engagement File GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSING WHETHER CUSTOMER SERVICE IS “GOOD” FORYOUR COMPANY
BY ROBERT BACAL
If you’ve read PARTS ONE,
TWO
And THREE
of this series, you should now realize that trying to increase customer engagement is just as likely to damage your income as increase sales. That’s because engagement needs to be the “right” kind, and it needs to fit your particular business, and the needs of your customers Below are some principles and guidelines to take into account * THE MORE YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS WANT A FUN EXPERIENCE, the more important customer engagement becomes. That’s why engagement at certain entertainment venues (theme parks) is critical, but not at others (movie theatres). * The more your CUSTOMERS WANT A FAST IN AND OUT, GET IT DONE PROCESS and value speed and convenience the less useful trying to increase engagement will be. * BUSINESSES THAT REQUIRE CUSTOMERS TO WAIT … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Customer Experience & Engagement, For

Customer Experience File WHEN CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT ACTUALLY COSTS A COMPANY MONEYBY ROBERT BACAL
In PART ONE OF THESE SERIES, we
mentioned that if you increase customer engagement (whatever that means, and there’s no universal definition), the result “may be that you see positive results (e.g. more sales), OR, it may have no effect, and finally, you may end up with a negative return (lesssales).
In Part 2 of this series, we’ll look at actual examples where increased customer engagement actually harms businesses. In fact, what’s startling is that for many, perhaps most companies, customer engagement is a really bad thing to strive for. EXAMPLE 1: RESTAURANTS AND COST OF CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT In part 1 we mentioned that because high end restaurants operate on fairly low profit margins, they need to turn over tables, each and every night to stay in business. This also applies to other lower … Read the rest of this post __ Posted in Customer Experience & EngagementPOSTS NAVIGATION
