Customer Support Experience today:
Katie Deighton reports Forrester research summarizing what we have experienced:
The average customer experience score, or CX score, in the 2022 survey was 71.3, down from 72.0 in 2021.
With a “very poor” CX score of 48.6, a decline from 2021’s 54.1, the Internal Revenue Service was found to have the worst customer experience of all brands and agencies surveyed.
No companies were rated excellent, which requires a score of 85 or higher, for the sixth year in a row.
Pet-care company Chewy Inc. claimed the top customer experience rating for the second consecutive year with a score of 83.0.
The worst part about the customer service job is - Too many windows and apps to learn and navigate
"It can take opening, referencing, copying, pasting from 9 different apps to just reply to one email or respond to one phone inquiry"
Employee Experience today:
Douglas Kim wrote in his research article "Why nobody wants to work in customer service".
Today forrester has released a study that summarized the pandemic experience that still continues:
👉 68% of respondents said the phone was a new “empathy channel for customers”.
👉 70% said their agents were dealing with more emotionally charged consumers.
👉 Agent turnover swelled to at least 80% -- and in extreme cases to as much as 300%
While both Customer and Employee Experience are ranked the lowest, it also presents us with an opportunity to improve from here.
