EXPERT RESPONSE
When it comes to customer service, customers are seeking several things. Customers who are calling a call center with a problem have six basic needs:
Agents who can make decisions – Customers want to talk to an empowered call center agent who has the authority to help solve their problems.
Knowledgable agents – Customers want call center agents to be prepared with information so the customer doesn't need to provide it repeatedly.
First call resolution – Customers want their problems resolved as quickly as possible.
Respect – Customers want to be treated with respect and do not want to be taken for granted.
Empathy – Customers want to talk to a kind and understanding human being.
Fair resolution – Customers want the resolution to be fair; not arbitrary or one-sided.
Anything beyond this is great, but these are the main principles.
