Your job description is a great place to start building professional capabilities. Consider that these baseline requirements form the structural underpinning of a career well-planned. Consequently, your career feels less accidental than intentional. Plus, you create a participatory career where you are an active player instead of a spectator. Whether you are a young or older newbie in a new role in a new company – or not – consider what else is required of you beyond what is described for you to

ClieOne of the most basic principles of customer success is using your products and services to create advocates for your company/product/brand. Having an army of happy customers can do much of this legwork for you. The fact of the matter is that customers are influenced by word-of-mouth two to 10 times more than they are by paid media. Up to 50% of consumers insist that the recommendations of people they know are the primary drivers of their buying decisions.

During my career in workforce management, call avoidance was always an issue — regardless of the location of the business, the nature of the business, or the location of the agent. Call avoidance , now known as interaction avoidance, denotes the steps an agent takes to avoid handling a customer interaction. It can take time and resources to determine whether actual interaction avoidance has taken place, but, ultimately, identifying instances of interaction avoidance can save your company money.

All you should worry about is giving them the experience they want, expect and deserve – regardless of what your customers call it. .
