Excellent Customer Experience
Consistently expediting experiences for your customers play a significant role in your customer’s overall satisfaction. Unfortunately for many retailers across the country, efforts to meet these expectations are coming up short. In fact, according to the ACSI Retail and Consumer Shopping Report, customer satisfaction rates have fallen to their lowest points since 2015. That same report revealed that as many as 86% of retailers reported a downturn in their customer satisfaction rates this past year. Supply chain issues across the globe have undoubtedly exacerbated this decrease in customer satisfaction, leaving buyers frustrated without access to their favorite items due to limited stock availability and delivery delays. And while some retailers will simply accept these challenges as a new painful reality, the most successful businesses will view this as an opportunity to separate their operation from the competition. Every obstacle is an opportunity for growth, and Excellent Customer Experience. So, in a world where there has become such a premium on building brand loyalty and customer satisfaction, how do you differentiate your business from others?
Starting Your Expedition to Service
It begins with setting up your frontline for success. Your frontline workforce is the outward face of your company; they are your direct link between you and the customer. Without the tools and technology needed to deliver a personalized, seamless, and memorable experience, your employees start each shift at a distinct disadvantage compared to the competition. Customers expect to receive the information they are searching for immediately. They do not have time or patience for lackluster customer service. In fact, after just one bad customer experience, 39% of customers will avoid a company for two years. According to the same survey, four out of ten consumers will advise their friends not to visit a store in which they have had a poor customer experience. Do you see the importance of a properly equipped frontline? The easier your frontline can do their jobs, the more prepared they will be to deliver a premier customer experience every time.
