Providing support for customers is a tough job for any employee.
Not only are these employees on the frontline, representing the company, but they sometimes have to deal with awkward, difficult and challenging customers.
They need to have exceptional soft skills to be able to handle everything from positive reviews and glowing praise to tricky questions and negative feedback.
Due to the challenging nature of the role, customer service teams often have a large number of unhappy employees and a high turnover rate. This makes it one of the most difficult positions to manage.
This is why implementing a regular customer service performance review is essential.
The customer service performance review is a process designed to keep employees focused enough to stay in the job and develop their ability to handle customers in the way that you want.
It’s imperative that you keep tabs on how reviews are managed and track how your team is following up and responding to reviews. They are the face of the company so you need to ensure consistency and quality across all responses.
Not only does a customer service performance review ensure each member of the teams’ responses are consistent and high in quality, but it also gives the customer service representatives important feedback and identifies opportunities for growth, which keeps them motivated to perform better.
