Call centers commonly treat the majority of their customers in a similar way. Every caller is subjected to the same IVR prompts, the same queuing and call routing rules, and the same process of assigning available agents.
But the fact is: Every customer is not the same. Some have been loyal for 20 years; others are brand new. Some are frustrated because their expectations are not being met; others are extremely satisfied. Some just need a little information; others have complex questions.
Your KPI's may show you're answering calls more quickly than before, or that you have fewer abandons than last year. But what are they telling you about how well you treated your most valuable customers this week or how satisfied your callers really are because of the personalized service they received?
