Reverse Customer Experience: Retain Calm Customers! by Kate Nasser
(Kate Nasser) When customer experience is going sour, do your calm customers have to raise their voice to get action? Do they think they must show anger to reverse customer experience from bad to good?
My Comment: Just because a customer doesn’t complain, doesn’t mean he or she is happy. If they are unhappy, and they are silent about it, they may just disappear. (And, we thought they were happy – they didn’t complain!) And, when a customer nicely and calmly states some form of dissatisfaction, don’t make the mistake of thinking that person, “doesn’t appear to be upset.” This is a great article that reminds us that even if the wheel isn’t squeaky, it still may need a little oil.
