Balancing Service Levels to Enhance Customer Satisfaction


This PPT slide, part of the 78-slide Guide to Delivering Best-in-Class Customer Care PowerPoint presentation, presents a clear correlation between service levels, customer satisfaction (CSAT), and abandonment rates. It highlights that poor service levels can negatively impact CSAT while also increasing abandonment rates. The data shows average service levels at 78% compared to a top quartile of 91%. This discrepancy suggests that there is significant room for improvement in service delivery.

The slide references a Purdue report indicating that the average time before a customer abandons a call is 77 seconds. This statistic underscores the importance of managing average speed of answer (ASA), which is shown to be 19 seconds on average, compared to a more favorable 14 seconds in the top quartile. The graphical representation illustrates a downward trend, indicating that as service levels improve, abandonment rates decrease.

Key takeaways include the need to optimize service levels across various customer segments and call types. This optimization is crucial for achieving strategic targets. The slide also emphasizes the importance of reducing call handle times and creating flexible staffing models to address capacity constraints. Additionally, it suggests incorporating service levels into team scorecards and incentivizing agents accordingly.

Overall, the content provides actionable insights for organizations looking to enhance their customer service operations. By focusing on service level improvements, companies can expect not only to boost CSAT, but also to reduce abandonment rates, ultimately leading to better customer retention and satisfaction.
