What Makes Customers Mad? How Speech Analytics Helps

|

According to a recent study, conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of ClickSoftware, which polled 2,051 U.S. adults, they’re mad!Take a look at these stats.

Due to their frustrations around poor customer service:

  • 35% of those surveyed said they have cancelled their service or stopped using that brand altogether.
  • 72% said that their frustrations have prompted them to ask for a supervisor
  • 10% have yelled at customer reps
  • 13% have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction
  • 6% of customers have lied to get better or faster service
  • 3% have begged
  • 3% have shed real or fake tears in dealing with a service rep

Those are some very unhappy insights.

What frustrates customers the most?

  • 44% put waiting for a service rep at the top of their list
  • 43% said being put on hold with the rep their number-one frustration
  • 38% said their frustration stemmed from feeling that service representatives didn’t know how to fix problems
