Customer Reviews
How often have you seen customers yelling at support representatives and posting negative reviews online? Quite frequently, you would agree.
As the customer vents out his anger on social media platforms, the business involved needs to respond with alacrity. A single such instance can easily escalate into one that can down big names. At the very least, a lapse in customer service can cost a bomb, as happened in the case of Air Canada.
Earlier this year (July 2024), the airline incurred heavy losses in straightening things out when a flight attendant lashed out at a passenger who only asked for a blanket! Things snowballed , and ultimately, the flight had to be canceled, with all passengers walking out of the flight. What was a seemingly small issue ended up costing the company a fortune in remedial measures—not to mention a tainted brand image!
It was a classic case of bad customer service.
Though most companies invest in customer service, they do not take it as seriously and risk their reputation.
