Customer Service
Customer Service can make or break your renewal rate. Customer service, at its core, is ensuring that your subscribers and members are so they will continue doing business with you. Seems simple, right? Yet it’s becoming increasingly complex as the responsibilities of customer service change, the number of customer service channels expand, and customer expectations increase. When you consider that 82% of consumers have stopped doing business with a company because of bad customer service, you begin to understand the scope of the issue. The good news? Customer service still comes down to prompt, honest, empathetic communication with your customers, and even small companies can do it well.
