2011-05-11 1:07 am RichardNatoli @MarshaCollier Absolutely. But, I’m going for a diff point on this.

The answer will be much diff if you asked about SM. #custserv

2011-05-11 1:07 am JeffreyJKingman @carolyn_ray I’ve missed getting in late night chat with you

#custserv

2011-05-11 1:07 am LovelyLu A1 I’d say about 10% They go through email or our ticket systems first

#custserv

2011-05-11 1:07 am rjamestaylor @action_jay on the company side, it’s imperative that the service

process be clearly defined #custserv

2011-05-11 1:07 am action_jay @MarshaCollier in Cable land it was a high percentage by phone. In

web service world, skews much more to email support. #custserv

2011-05-11 1:09 am Marcio_Saito I think customers go more and more towards e-mail (and SM in

future). Phone is for resolution #custserv

2011-05-11 1:09 am jodyrogers @action_jay agreed, but when passion/anger kicks in – you’ve got to

have agents trained how to convince them they’re on your side

#custserv

2011-05-11 1:09 am Exal_online @action_jay Phone #custserv will never die to a lot of customers, but

I wish it would. Email/Social Media support will be the norm soon.

2011-05-11 1:09 am SamsungJessica @marshacollier Roughly 50% is phone for us. Other is online

2011-05-11 1:10 am action_jay @JodyRogers right. Add in the idea that customers aren’t trained for

managing stress like agents, and it can get messy. #custserv

2011-05-11 1:10 am robertheadley Mankind will never stop talking to each other, so the phone or some

variation there of will always exist. #custserv

2011-05-11 1:10 am Exal_online @JeffreyJKingman Do you think phone lines all together will die?

Does anyone have a landline to call #custserv with?

2011-05-11 1:11 am gregortbach @MarshaCollier @JodyRogers Interestingly I wonder if resolution

tends to be quicker as opposed to email & ticket systems #custserv
