Think about the following-what if customer satisfaction and loyalty were going down and it required staff members to change and approve their ability to converse and interact with customers with the same managers honestly recommend not coaching because they don't have time? Customer success and loyalty metrics are a great way not only to get managers to coach but provide them targeted goals that are guaranteed to drive the business going forward. Here are some statistics from an article found on customerthermometer.com:Just one poor customer experience is likely to push 89% of consumers to start doing business with a competitor, a study by Oracle famously claims.

Out of which 45% share negative reviews on social media.
