When it comes to creating a strong and reliable image in the minds of customers, one cannot simply overlook the important role that prompt customer support plays. Especially, cable TV and internet customers’ patience is always standing on such thin ice, that a single blowup can cause the entire reputation of your brand to collapse on itself.

Did you know 90% of Americans decide whether they want to do business with a company based on customer service? Plus, let’s not ignore all the bad reputations the internet service providers have gained lately.

How Can the Internet and Cable Service Providers Nail Their Customer Service?

Who do customers turn to while looking for help? Quick and reliable customer support with well-trained professionals. With customer service brands can provide clarity to their customers, all the while catering to issues that need to be resolved right away. The best way to do this is to be active on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media, so customers can instantly connect with you using any platform they are comfortable with.

Another very important factor in maintaining good customer support is the speed of response. Do you know that Americans tell approximately 9 people about their good customer support experience and if things go awry, they share their bad experience with as many as 16?

Let’s face it, no experience can ever be as bad as a slow response from customer service representatives. Therefore, to make sure that customers have a good experience, customer service representatives need to increase the speed of their responses.

Customer Service plays a huge role in giving a brand its own personality. Customers like to go for brands that seem a bit human. For example, you chose to do business with a brand and things at first seemed great. However, problems began surfacing and now you need someone to complain about things going bad. Would be a huge disappointment if there was no one at the other end ready to listen to your problems, wouldn’t it?

This gives the brand a bad name with all the negative publicity it causes.  Therefore, brands need a ‘human voice’ ready to answer customers’ problems and that can only happen with a strong customer support network.
