Inside Customer Service

JULY 14, 2022

The data was shocking. Even hurtful. An employee who worked for another department was sometimes loaned to my team. A monthly payroll report showed a lot more hours were charged to my team than she had actually worked. This was a great employee. Someone who did good work and was well-liked. She was recently recognized as the employee of the month. I wanted to believe this was a simple error, so I shared the report with the employee's boss.

When running an online business, you have to be very aware of the wide variety of threats you face, where your vulnerabilities lie, and how to protect yourself from those risks. Essentially, this is your “threat model”. What assets do you have and who wants them? If you’re online, so is your data and your customers’ data, which must be protected. Going further than that, your customers have to trust you with that data.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
