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.

Service Recovery

Are Your Customer Service Recoveries Really Recoveries?

Recently my wife picked up dinner for 4 on the way home from work. We had ordered online from Swiss Chalet (Canadian Rotisserie chicken franchise). Swiss Chalet is known for their dipping sauce, which is included with every signature meal.

When she arrived home, we discovered that the “special sauce” was not included in the order.

I called the order desk to report this lapse and the conversation went something like this.

Technology

Customer service and Twitter

The popular notion stating that if a customer receives poor service, he/she will tell nine other people, has been grossly out of date since the advent of the Internet. In reality, customers can electronically tell millions of people about their experiences. And now, with Twitter, people can tell others about their experiences as they happen.

Feedback

How to get amazing online reviews from your customers

More and more customers are going online before AND after they do business with a company. They’re getting smart about using online tools to make the best decision about who they do business with.

To thrive in this new world of connected customers you need to do more than ever to make sure your customers get the experience they want. If you do this well you can leverage the power of online feedback and reviews to grow your business. If you fail at this, the online chatter about your business can tarnish your reputation both online and off.
