40 mins. Angry. Listening to this

Customer service can make or break your relationship with a business.rnrnThe other day, someone I know had to contact their bank about an issue with online banking.rnrnAfter navigating an automated menu that couldn’t understand his voice, he sat on hold for more than 40 minutes, listening to the same song on repeat. There was the occasional silence that gave him the hope somebody was picking up, but then the same music resumed seconds later.rnrnHe finally got through to a human. Hooray! Who established that the automated menu had sent him to the wrong department.rnrnBack to the call queue. And an additional 30 minutes on hold (I’m not kidding), with the same music that was punctuated with moments of silence and false hope.rnrnSomebody eventually picked up. And within two minutes told the guy that the only way to resolve his problem… would be to visit a local branch of the bank.rnrnI think his face had gone a funny purple color by this point…rnrnYou might be wondering why I’m telling you this?rnrnLike banks, IT support providers have different approaches to customer service.rnrn• How easy is it to get hold of your IT support provider?rn• How quickly do they help you when problems come up?rn• What are they doing proactively to stop things going wrong, so you don’t have to contact them in the first place?rnrnTime is money, especially if you’re staring down the barrel of an IT (or banking) problem.rnrnWe put our customers at the center of everything we do.
