Deep dives
The Value of Customer Service in the Digital Age
Customer service plays a crucial role in business success yet is often undervalued, as seen in the way it is rarely the primary component on invoices. This parallels how bedside manner influences a doctor’s effectiveness; compassionate communication is essential even when the technical skills are comparable. As online businesses grew due to the efficiencies of the internet, consumer expectations around service lowered, leading to typical wait times of up to 12 hours for responses, often far longer. The introduction of AI aims to radically enhance customer service by enabling faster, more efficient, and higher-quality interactions, meeting consumer demands for immediacy.
