On the other hand you have those minor annoyances and company failures that really get under the skin of your customers. The little things happen every day, everywhere to many customers. And you probably don’t know about it. It’s little issues chipping away at your brand value, and by the time you’re aware of it, is already too late.
Hello Customer was built for this reason and the very reason we keep on growing.
One of our clients has a perfect example of this, they found out people kept on mentioning gossiping in their feedback. Over and over and over again it kept on coming up for a single store, so they did a little digging. It turned out that the staff at the tills were gossiping negatively about customers while they were serving people. I don’t know about you but hey, that kind of behaviour really winds me up, not just as a person but also as a retail exec.
Just to put this into context, imagine if the company didn’t know this was going on. At best these customers would complain, at worst they would tell their friends and not return to your store.
It gets even worse, because while this is happening in only one store, it is hurting your brand everywhere. Because people tell this story about your brand, in connection to your brand.
