The Growing Role of Call Centers In Reducing Customer Churn

9/4/2020

According to a UK CallMiner study, customers’ preference for phone customer support has increased by 14%, only second to text message-based support which grew by 38%. However, their preference for social media-based support and website-based support declined by 27% and 34% respectively.

This means that contact centres are becoming increasingly important in reducing customer churn and attracting new consumers. CallMiner also found that 84.1% of consumers were likely to stay loyal after a positive experience with the call centre while 78.4% were likely to switch providers after a bad experience.
