Customer service agents can have the single biggest impact on your business success or failure because they are often the first and sometimes the only contact with your customers. This means customer service and call center agents must have the proper skills to provide a positive experience. Otherwise, negative customer experiences could jeopardize your company’s reputation, customer retention, and overall revenue.

These research studies show the powerful negative impact of unsatisfactory customer experiences on business:

• A Gartner survey predicted that 89% of businesses are expected to compete primarily on customer experience.

• It’s 6 to 7 times more expensive to attract a new customer than to retain one.

• Nearly 70% of American Express customers believe that the key to great customer service is a polite representative.

• Forbes reports that poor customer service is costing businesses more than $75 billion a year.

In this customer-centric world, it is good to know that you can use talent acquisition strategies like eSkill’s Customer Service Assessment Tests to make the best hiring decisions.
