In this season of New Year’s Resolutions, I’m sure you also have your own—plans for improving the business, pleasing your customers more, and becoming a better customer yourself.
I stumbled upon some useful information which will tell us how customers prefer to reach out to the business they do business with. The survey was conducted by the Yankee Group. Check out the figure below.

Hmmm - but how many of them would truly prefer to speak to someone if there was no difference in the resolution rate? Most automated and asynchronous self-service approaches are so much less likely to get something done than calling I think many people who would prefer them end up calling. I would also like to see how it is trending and how it breaks down by age as I bet the percentage preferring to speak is declining and that younger consumers like some of the electronic methods.
Interesting though…
