A great product would make people buy it and use it but wouldn’t instill brand loyalty if the company offers poor customer service. Whenever someone deals with a company, it is not just to buy the product and use it but for the entire experience that is offered by the company. Customer service plays a key role in consumer satisfaction.
The following infographic outlines popular myths regarding customer service compared to what the facts and statistics say.
What Customers Want
Any customer would want to be treated as special and not just a mere statistic or number. The very moment a customer or a lead is treated as a potential sale and nothing more, the company wouldn’t be offering an experience but merely a transaction. People look for something more than just a financial transaction.

Personalizing Customer Service Experiences
Offering personalized customer service and reaching out to customers will make them feel special and important.
