What Does Good Customer Service Look Like?
19 July 2018
We’ve all had a bad experience with Customer Service at one point in time. Whether it was a request denied, a problem that could not be resolved, or a less-than-friendly interaction, the result was one unhappy customer. While one unhappy customer may not seem significant, that person is more likely to share the bad experience with friends, and with social media platforms it can quickly spread to millions of people.
