Have you asked if your customer service or support team is looking inside out vs. from the outside in? It's understandably easy to do.
The Perils of an "Inside Out" Mentality
How many times have you bee on the phone with a customer service or support representative and find yourself flabbergasted at the hoops they make you jump through in order to resolve an issue or answer a question? A lot? Sometimes? Never?
Service teams are, almost by design, reactive in their approach. And who can blame them? Most of those who have been in this business for a while find themselves reacting all day, every day, to whatever fire is presented for them to put out.
It's only natural that a reactive service model emerges, defined not by what customers need or want, but by what service teams need to get through the day. Sometimes these efforts align with customer needs rather well and are easily justified.
But surprisingly few organizations actually take the time to truly comprehend the customer service or support experience.

Now consider the last time you had one of those service experiences that seemed effortless from beginning to end. What were the essential components that made it so?
