Roughly 3 in 4 consumers surveyed across 9 countries have experienced their “worst CX failure” within the past 2 years, according to a report from SDL. Customers most often ascribed failures to the post-sale support of the customer journey stage, with long waits/poor response times (35%), poorly empowered (31%) and trained (30%) customer service the most commonly-cited reasons for CX failures. So can customers be re-engaged?
Apparently, the desire is there, as 82% of customers experiencing a “worst CX” said they are interested in fixing the problem. But while the desire to fix a problem might be there, the survey also finds that only about 1 in 5 customers experiencing a “worst CX” event will consider doing business with the company again. That’s in line with other research from Accenture, in which 73% of US customers who had switched providers in the previous year due to poor service said they would not consider switching back to their original provider or doing business with them again.
