In today’s fast-paced world, where our thoughts, opinions, and ideas can be shared with the click of a mouse or with a few taps on a keyboard, there seems to be a constant yearning to have our voices heard, to offer advice, and to give our opinions in as short amount of time as possible. This may work on social media; however, when you have a business to run and clients to serve, this can cause problems.

In an article for Bloomberg Technology, Fred Reichheld (whose work at Bain and Company has resulted in widespread use of Net Promoter Score® surveying methodology) notes he is also survey fatigued. As such, it is important to remember that the art of customer listening emulates a lesson from the children’s story Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Soliciting customer feedback can be too much, too little, or just right.

As customers and consumers, you and I now have many ways to tell suppliers what we want, when, how and to give them feedback on their performance as suppliers. Clues from our website navigation patterns, social “likes”, trolley abandons, and even instant chats, together with in-person conversations make up the rich spectrum of omnichannel experiences. But not all suppliers seem able to use this information effectively. My colleagues and I advise marketing leaders on analytics that can sort through all this useful information, but the frequent surprise is how some teams lose themselves in the detail. Often, teams seem to find it challenging to stay true to be the basic job at hand - using information from customers in the best way to drive growth, customer satisfaction and profits.

In customer service, if you hear the word “optimal,” it’s most likely modifying “Support Experience.” As in, how can we deliver the optimal support experience? It’s an ambitious goal but a worthwhile one. To get there, focus not only on making (and keeping) your customers happy, but your agents as well.
In other words, support is the result of a successful connection between the customer and the agent. You simply can’t offer optimal, or even decent, support without that.
So, if you want optimal support, you need to focus on your agents and what they need. The best place to start is with a little knowledge and understanding.
