Service Failures And Service Recovery Strategies

When the business relationship is damage it’s up to management to repair the damage relationship. Every organization can be good at any of these eleven factors, but I believe the organization must be excellent and excel in the recovery process. Recovery is the buffer that rebuilds the trust factor. The returning customer that has the worst experience usually returns to see if? First, the organization has done what it said it was going to do. Second, the customer is judging anything and everything about the organization just to see what can be found wrong. Third, they are watching to see how management approaches them. Finally, if the recovery process is successful the customer will let you

For many companies, customer service is summarised in the following activities: responding to customer questions, receives commands, resolve disagreements about billing and handle claims. The service can be made directly at the customer’s house, at the supplier or through the media (telephone, fax, email, Internet, etc.) The increasing number of call centres demonstrates the importance that companies attach to customer service.

As stated in this case, the customer services business has grown doubled in the past five years as the advancement of technology allowed employees to investigate most software and hardware system faults from the center through remote monitoring.

Another way of gathering information about the service processes is through corrective action, which has always been a very important part of customer relationship management. What corrective action means is that when a service failure happens, such failure is documented and the issue is resolved in a way that it never happens

Customers want to be treated in a friendly manner with honest, straightforward information and responses. They appreciate a customer service representative who is willing to admit mistakes and work to correct them. Customers who believe they have been misled stop doing business with the company. These ‘critical incidents’ are experiences that make the customer walk away and never return. They don’t complain, they just leave and share the negative service experience with others. The bad news spreads, leading the organisation to lose more customers and deterring prospective customers. Critical incidents can include broken promises that annoy and anger customers. Customers expect to be informed if a promise cannot be fulfilled. Finally, customers expect understanding and empathy from a customer service representative who is willing to see things from their point of view, especially when there is a problem.

Excellence in customer service is the objective of all organisations wishing to be successful. However, there is often a gap between customer expectations and management perceptions of customer expectations. Organisations often fail to get close to their customers and correctly read their expectations.
