Share Your Customer Service Horror Stories

Bad customer service experiences are so common they’re cliché. They’re like bad breath in the morning. We all have them and they stink. But they are a fact of life. I believe most of us have far more bad customer service experiences than good.

My mission is to change that. Which is why I talk and write about how to improve customer service.

And one of the best ways to improve customer service is to look at example of where and why and how it’s gone wrong. So here’s your opportunity to help. Plus it’s a great way to vent. Very therapeutic!

By the way, they can be good or bad stories. It’s always nice to have a balance. I will use many of these stories in my articles, books and presentations.

Please be as factual and as accurate as possible. And remember, the purpose here is not to “blast” a person or company. It’s to help us all find ways to improve the customer service we offer.

Peachtree knows that customer service is cool

Customer service is the new marketing because now companies can no longer control what people are saying about them. Everyday, customers and prospects are ranting and raving about your company on social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Companies that don’t get customer service and don’t react to what customers are talking about are doomed to fail.
