Why Is There No Good Customer Service Anymore?
Implementing a multi-channel approach is the most effective way to conduct customer support systems. This philosophy means offering customers a range of ways to contact your company, such as phone, email, live chat, and social media. By offering different methods of communication, customers can choose the contact method that works best for them and resolve their issues quickly.
Many online companies are no longer investing in customer service phone systems because it can be costly and time-consuming. A live chat system is much more cost effective and efficient as it offers customers an instant response while browsing your website. Compared to a phone system where you need to hire people to answer the calls, a live chat system can be automated and even self-served.
Effective customer service is essential for any business to succeed, and customers want to feel valued and have their inquiries addressed quickly and efficiently. By investing in the right tools and technologies, companies can create a positive customer experience, improve customer satisfaction, and, ultimately, drive sales.
The customer service system is essential for businesses to remain competitive. Businesses must invest in the right tools and technologies, and companies can create a positive customer experience, improve customer satisfaction, monitor customer feedback to identify areas of improvement, and, ultimately, drive sales.
Overall, having a customer service system that caters to multiple channels is essential in providing customers with a positive experience. The effective use of a live chat system can go a long way toward reducing customer service costs while improving customer satisfaction.
Additionally, businesses should train their customer service staff to ensure they have the right tools and knowledge to provide customers with the best possible experience. Investing in the right technology, such as AI-powered chatbots or virtual agents, can help streamline customer service processes and enable customer service agents to focus on providing more personalized support.

I know what you mean about speaking with a live person. Sadly the same push for $15/hr combined with inflation and crazy taxes made it impossible to keep someone in that role - it was just too expensive. I still answer the phones at Awin because my boss, the President, asked me to do so; she said that I'm one of the few who can figure out what someone is calling about and actually help them. I do love doing that. But yesterday I had two really cranky callers who just wanted to complain, and honestly, I just stepped away from it all. So that's something to keep in mind as well. I understand the need to vent, and some is okay, but when I'm trying to help you and you keep screaming at me, I'm done.
I am glad to see someone is still putting a value on customer service; unfortunately, some people in this world would instead cause problems rather than think about how their bad attitude is affecting other people they come in contact with; good job stepping away from the situation.

Many companies have forgotten a very basic rule of business. Without customers you have no business. They cut back on customer service staff and ensure direct contact is nonexistent.
I use my biggest twitter account and call them out for poor service. Unfortunately, most people give up and do nothing after endless hours of trying.
If customers don't continually call them out, they will never improve. If you get poor service and cannot contact anyone, find that company's social media and shout long and loud on their accounts until they put the problem right.
I understand the frustration with the lack of support from some customer service in rather large companies that do not even have a call-in number to talk with a live human being. All we can do is grin and bear it and remind ourselves to smile at some things in life we cannot control.
That is the point though. The more people grin and bear it the less they bother to have customer service. They need to be called out on it over and over until they understand that they have to change.
