How to Grow Your Business With Conversation

Improve the quality of your leads by simply listening to customers.

Conversation? Listening to customers? Your scepticism senses must be tingling. Think of the last time you made a customer service call — how long did it take to get a hold of someone?

Or, when you needed to speak to someone outside of business hours ASAP and all you had was some admin email, which took at least 24 – 48 hours for a response?

It’s frustrating isn’t it? It’s almost as if you expect someone to respond to you at any given time. Well, you’re not the only one.

But how does investing in customer experience bring in more sales?

3 Reasons Why Businesses Invest in Customer Experience

Why Listening to Your Customers Is the Key to Growing Revenue

Think about your own experiences for a second. Let’s say you had a problem with a product or service. When you needed to speak to someone this happens:

• No way of getting in direct contact with a representative
• Took too long to get a response
• Had to repeat yourself every time you got through to someone
• No clear resolution provided

It’s safe to say you’re never doing business with that company again, and you’ll probably tell friends and family not to do so either.

That’s the power of customer experience. It’s just one reasons why of business leaders listed customer experience as a top strategic priority, among others, with 75% using customer experience to get a competitive edge.
