Have you ever put a dollar amount to a good customer experience? It turns out good customer service is worth a lot.
Studies show that organizations that focus on customer experience receive a 4-6% revenue increase as compared to competitors. Additionally, if your employees are engaged and offer excellent customer interactions, studies show that these organizations outperform their competitors by 147% annually.
Let’s illustrate this with an example.
Let’s say that an organization has an annual revenue of $100,000. By just offering a better customer experience and organization earns an additional $4-6K on top of $100K. Next, employees are engaged, that’s another $47K. By focusing on customer experience and employee engagement, a $151-154K annually finds its way to the bottom line.
Still not convinced?
Finally, if customers have a positive experience with your organization, then they’re likely to share this experience with at least 9 friends. Good word of mouth is priceless!
On the other hand, when customers have a bad experience, studies show that customers share it with at least 16 friends. You simply cannot ignore the negative impact on your organization’s revenue if news spreads about a bad customer experience.
