In this way, it\u2019s also a form of your customer service. It often takes 2-4 site visits before a user considers moving forward with a quote or purchase, and during each of these visits your website needs to be valuable and user-friendly throughout a customer\u2019s journey. This includes having thorough content, quick load times, accessible forms and contact information, images and a responsive design.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvalidate.com\/product-research\/topspot-internet-marketing\/facts\/829-67E-E3E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Customer Service Stat\" src=\"\/assets\/images\/blog\/2017\/february\/website-visits-stat.png\" alt=\"Customer Service Stat\" width=\"460\" height=\"261\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s say your website is almost perfect. Your digital marketing efforts, including Paid Search and SEO programs, bring in many qualified potential customers. Your content is useful, complete and addresses users\u2019 needs. Your contact information is easy to locate and use on any device, and your page speed is fast. There are many factors that cause a user to abandon a site and a vendor, but your site\u2019s experience meets all of Google\u2019s guidelines and is optimized to bring in qualified leads. This is all great-<strong> but what experience are you giving once a user picks up the phone or submits a form?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A qualified lead doesn\u2019t mean much if there\u2019s no one on the other end to answer the call and close the sale. Once your website has done its job and a lead is received, how are you optimizing that customer\u2019s experience? Of our clients surveyed, over 49% of companies\u00a0<em>never\u00a0<\/em>hold internal customer service training sessions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvalidate.com\/product-research\/topspot-internet-marketing\/charts\/789-2AB-A2A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Closing the sales loop with customer service\" src=\"\/assets\/images\/blog\/2017\/february\/training-session-graph.png\" alt=\"Closing the sales loop with customer service\" width=\"460\" height=\"393\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Competition is tough &#8211; 59% of our clients surveyed said that they typically request a quote from 3-5 different vendors for one purchase. The RFQ submission takes you just one step closer to the sale; it\u2019s by no means the end of the process. After a user has vetted your company as a potential vendor, it\u2019s imperative to set that experience apart from your competition, just as you did with your website. In competitive markets, there are often few differentiators among brands, so fantastic customer service can become your company\u2019s most valuable asset.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvalidate.com\/product-research\/topspot-internet-marketing\/charts\/A9D-AF2-D21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Customer Service as a Differentiator\" src=\"\/assets\/images\/blog\/2017\/february\/differentiator-graph.png\" alt=\"Customer Service as a Differentiator\" width=\"463\" height=\"275\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Think of a time when you have been frustrated by a vendor. Maybe they didn\u2019t answer your email in a timely manner. Maybe they put you on hold for over 10 minutes. Maybe the representative came across as rude. Whatever the reason, that negative experience tarnished your view of that company. That first impression lasts. Reports say it takes more than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpscout.com\/75-customer-service-facts-quotes-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 positive experiences<\/a>\u00a0to make up for one bad experience, and it\u2019s likely that customer won\u2019t give your company a second chance.<\/p>\n<p>One of the simplest adjustments a company can make to its customer service is to respond quickly. 85% of customers surveyed expect a response from vendors within the same day of their inquiry. 19% expect a response within less than 2 hours! One day is all it takes to lose a potential customer if a competitor beats you to the response.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvalidate.com\/product-research\/topspot-internet-marketing\/charts\/434-695-DF9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Customer Service Response Times\" src=\"\/assets\/images\/blog\/2017\/february\/response-time-graph.png\" alt=\"Customer Service Response Times\" width=\"460\" height=\"420\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Simply answering the phone can be the difference between a sale and a lost opportunity. When directed to a vendor\u2019s voicemail, 43% of customers hang up and abandon the call. Is this the first impression you want of your company\u2019s customer service \u2013 inaccessible and too busy to answer a call?<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvalidate.com\/product-research\/topspot-internet-marketing\/charts\/AD9-8BF-502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Voicemail Stats\" src=\"\/assets\/images\/blog\/2017\/february\/voicemail-stat.png\" alt=\"Voicemail Stats\" width=\"460\" height=\"395\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What else can you do to improve your customer service? Start by holding regular internal customer service training. If you have call tracking on your sales calls, listen to those recordings and use them as tools to improve the sales process. Analyzing real-life examples as a team is a simple way to identify areas of improvement and strengths for everyone to emulate.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvalidate.com\/product-research\/topspot-internet-marketing\/facts\/1FE-2FE-F40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Importance of customer service\" src=\"\/assets\/images\/blog\/2017\/february\/customer-service-stat.png\" alt=\"Importance of Customer Service\" width=\"460\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the same way that you want your website to be useful, fast and informative, your customer service representatives should provide that kind of experience.
