Customer Service Techniques: Convenience Has Trained Us to Expect Too Little

2012-11-02

Sadly, in today's e-commerce climate, we have come to expect very little as consumers. While the amount of effort we put into that "hard-earned dollar" is the same, the amount of appreciation of where we spend it has been greatly devalued. It is easy to understand how this happened: the ability and convenience to shop a million stores--all at a mouse click, combined with our attention being grabbed and thrown from paid advertisements to pop-ups. We get that. What is not easy to understand is how, as a society, we have come to accept it. The term 'customer ...
