Why Businesses Should Avoid Poor Phone Service At All Costs

First impressions last. When clients phone an establishment, it’s best to assume that they want clear, appropriate, and speedy answers to their queries. That said, it’s imperative that businesses should have superb phone service as these become an initial gauge by customers of the quality of their services. When there are uncertainties about how a particular question should be answered or when clients are put on hold for unnecessary amounts of time, clients will be very quick to move to other establishments. In our hyper-connected society, clients want their questions answered as quickly and as clear as possible. A bad or even a poor phone conversation can literally break the deal. Worse, this creates a negative halo around the business, sending a bad impression that the entirety of the business’ services are not good enough. The phone service should, thus, be treated as if it were a face-to-face transaction.
