Customer Care's Evolution From Cost Center to Profit Center Shep interviews Sowmyanarayan Sampath (known simply as Sampath), Chief Executive Officer of Verizon Consumer Group. He discusses why he publicly shares his email address and what Verizon is doing to become number one in customer satisfaction by truly putting the customer first. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How can you turn your call center from a cost center to a profit center? Why should companies invest in improving customer experience? How can organizations use customer feedback to enhance their products and services? Why is it important for leadership to be accessible to customers when addressing service issues? How can proactive customer service resolve complex issues more efficiently? Top Takeaways: Feedback is a gift. Every complaint is an opportunity to learn what went wrong and how to do better. Whether it's reading emails, analyzing phone calls, or collecting feedback, listening to the customer is a powerful way to enhance any service or product. Spending money on customer experience may sound expensive, but it can save money and create loyalty over time. By fixing problems quickly and making interactions easier, customers don't have to waste time with lengthy calls and repeating themselves. Happy and satisfied customers tend to stick around longer and often attract friends and family. First contact resolution is always the main goal. However, some problems need more time and coordination with different departments to resolve. That's why having a "customer champion" inside the customer support department who takes ownership and proactively follows through until an issue is resolved makes a difference to customers. Being "customer first" means making sure every channel, whether it's digital, in-person, or on the phone, works seamlessly. Not everyone wants to call, and not everyone wants to use a website or app, so giving customers a choice is essential. When people can choose what's easiest for them and have a great experience every time, it contributes to creating a flawless experience. AI, automation, and technology can make things easier and faster for both customers and employees. If used correctly, technology provides employees with the most accurate and complete information available, enabling them to answer customer questions quickly. Retail isn't dead. It's just become impersonal for many customers. However, if you create a store experience that's good, local, and personalized, people will come to your store. When you make your store about real, personal connections in the community, you give people a reason to want that face-to-face experience again. Plus, Sampath shares why Verizon is shifting its internal metrics from traditional contact center measurements (such as average handle time) to metrics that truly matter to customers and the business in the long term. Quote: "When a customer reaches out to us, they don't reach out to say how great we are doing. They reach out because someone or something along the process did not live up to their standards or ours, whichever is higher." About: Sowmyanarayan Sampath is the CEO of Verizon Consumer, overseeing a customer base that's the largest in the U.S., generating over $103 billion in annual revenue.

The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding core competencies, cost savings, and the need for competent consultants in the BPO space.

How Samsung Turns Customer Service Calls into Opportunities for Customer Delight Shep interviews Mark Williams, Head of Customer Care at Samsung Electronics America. He discusses enhancing customer service through smart technology, providing fast and simple support, and utilizing AI tools to create loyal customers and continually improve their experience. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How can a brand turn customer service interactions into opportunities for brand loyalty? What are the benefits of proactive customer service? How does smart technology enhance the overall customer experience? What role does customer feedback play in improving the overall service experience? How can artificial intelligence enhance the role of customer service agents? Top Takeaways: Every customer interaction is an opportunity to turn someone into a loyal fan, even a promoter of your brand. Customer service shouldn't just be about fixing problems. It should also be about preventing them. Customer care doesn't always have to be reactive. By using technology to anticipate problems, brands can identify and resolve issues even before customers becomes aware of them. For example, Samsung's smart appliances can alert you to issues like a fridge getting too warm and even schedule a repair before your food goes bad. Loyalty can be built through customer service, even when it comes after a problem or a negative experience. When customers have a great experience getting help, and their problems are solved quickly, they are more likely to buy again and recommend the brand to friends and family. Mark also shares his three core principles: Speed, Simplicity, and Service. Speed: Reduce the time it takes to fix a customer's issue. The sooner you solve the problem, the happier and more loyal your customers become. (In the U.S. Samsung's repair network now covers 99% of the U.S. for consumer electronics, and 81% of Americans are within just a 30-minute drive of same-day mobile service.) Simplicity: Remove confusing policies, eliminate unnecessary steps, and actively listen to employees and customers for ideas on how to simplify processes. Service: When you design experiences that put customers first, understand their needs, and effectively solve their issues, you will attract lifelong customers who will continue to buy from you because they know they can trust you, even when something goes wrong. Create easy ways for employees to share their thoughts and observations on what could be done better. Frontline workers know firsthand which policies and processes work and which ones frustrate customers. AI works best as a tool that helps people, not as a replacement for them. It empowers staff to focus on understanding customers and resolving their issues, while AI provides instant and relevant information that accelerates the process and enhances accuracy. Customer service is an income-generating department. Reliable products are important, but it's the extra mile in service that makes people choose to do business with a brand again and again. Plus, Mark shares why more than half of Samsung's customer care team in the U.S. has been with the company for over 10 years. Tune in! Quote: "Get to customers quicker and solve their problems before they even know they have a problem." About: Mark Williams is the Head of Customer Care at Samsung Electronics America. His work centers on proactive solutions that help customer service teams address issues quickly and efficiently.

What happens when the software platform running your entire business suddenly crashes and stays down for weeks? For cleaning business owners using Booking Koala, this nightmare scenario became reality in what can only be described as a customer service catastrophe.We pull back the curtain on this ongoing crisis that has left service-based businesses unable to book clients, process payments, or maintain their websites for over two weeks. The true failure, however, isn't just technical – it's the stunning lack of communication, empathy, and accountability from the company during a critical moment.The conversation goes beyond just critiquing one platform's mistakes. We explore essential business survival skills including having contingency plans, knowing how to "pivot" when systems fail, and maintaining old-school backup methods that don't rely on technology. Many businesses found themselves completely paralyzed because they had no alternative systems in place – a dangerous vulnerability in our technology-dependent world.Customer service emerges as the real differentiator between businesses that thrive and those that collapse under pressure. We discuss practical approaches to handling customer complaints, the importance of taking ownership even when problems aren't directly your fault, and why accessibility (yes, having an actual phone number people can call!) still matters tremendously.This episode serves as both a cautionary tale and a masterclass in crisis management. Whether you're running a cleaning business, a software company, or any service-oriented enterprise, these lessons in transparent communication and customer-first problem solving can mean the difference between weathering a storm or becoming another business failure statistic.Listen now to ensure your business never falls into these devastating customer service traps!Join my email list and get a free mini course: https://klean-freaks-university.newzenler.com/f/welcome-to-klean-freaks-university-1Send us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.

Am fost bucuroasă să-l am din nou alături pe Lorand Soares Szasz, unul dintre oamenii care mi-au marcat profund cariera și pe care îl consider un mentor, într-un nou episod despre #GândireFăcutăVizibilă. Am vorbit cu el despre Antreprenoriat, Marketing și Vânzări, pasiuni comune, și am disecat subiecte de care ne ciocnim zi de zi, de la cine este clientul nostru ideal, cum ne poziționăm corect pe piață și cum ne diferențiem, cum vindem eficient sau cum ne păstrăm clienții fericiți. Dar, dincolo de sfaturile practice, mi-am dorit să vă convingeți de faptul că și antreprenorii despre care credem că le știu pe toate, cum e Lorand, trec prin momente de vulnerabilitate, prin suișuri, dar și prin coborâșuri. Fac greșeli, trag concluzii, se repoziționează, merg mai departe.Este o discuție autentică și profundă, fără filtre, plină de lecții de viață și de business, pe care merită să o asculți până la final, unde vei afla detalii despre unul dintre cele mai noi programe create de Lorand și echipa Upriserz, pe care îl găsești și accesând

Rediffusion d'un des épisodes les plus écoutés du Podcast du Marketing.Est-ce que vous savez où se trouve votre meilleure force de vente ? Est-ce que vous savez qu'il y a des commerciaux hors pairs, prêts à convaincre vos futurs clients, et en plus gratuitement. Et qu'ils sont juste là, tout prêt de vous. J'en suis convaincue, votre meilleure force de vente, ce sont vos clients. Parce comme vos futurs clients, ils ont peut-être hésité à passer à l'achat, parce qu'ils vous ont choisi et qu'ils ont fait l'expérience de votre service, parce qu'au final ils sont satisfaits de ce que vous proposez, et surtout parce qu'ils n'ont rien à gagner à dire du bien de vous. Ce que disent vos clients de vous, a une valeur inestimable pour votre activité. Et c'est eux qui mèneront à vous vos futurs clients, qui feront basculer les hésitants, et qui convaincront ceux qui doutent. Une fois qu'on a ça en tête, on comprends facilement l'importance de proposer une service client au top. Mais alors comment fait-on pour s'assurer d'avoir le meilleur service client possible. J'ai demandé à Doriane Baker, du podcast Entrepreneure Care de venir nous expliquer ce qu'est vraiment le customer care, comment ça se passe concrètement au quotidien et quand est-ce qu'on le met en place.
