Are your customer service issues a mystery? Ever wish you could go undercover and secretly listen in on each and every interaction a customer has with your business? Well, you’re in luck. Introducing Mystery Caller, a new way to anonymously identify and fix any customer service issues at your business. 

The Hidden Cost of Poor Customer Service

What customer service issues, you may ask? You might have more than you think, as things like not answering your phone, placing customers on hold or having a bad attitude can hurt your bottom line without you even being aware of it. Consider the following statistics:

• 62% of consumers have stopped doing business with a company due to a poor customer service experience (2015 Global State of Multichannel Customer Service Report)
• Small and medium sized companies lose roughly $135 million each year due to missed calls (BT Business Report)
• 68% of customers take their services elsewhere because they’re turned off by receptionists’ bad attitudes (American Society for Quality study)

Are you confident in your ability to maintain a positive attitude and deliver an exceptional customer service experience? Are you able to answer each of your incoming phone calls? If not, you may as well be throwing money away. With Mystery Caller, on the other hand, you’ll be able to patch any holes in your customer service and maximize your profitability.
