The sign said, "Every Second Counts." It’s a phrase you may have heard countless times. It speaks to the pressure of the ticking clock and the need to make every moment count in the race to the finish line. It’s become a bit of a cliché – the rallying cry from the sports coach, the pep talk for employees. But it got me thinking in customer experience terms: Every Interaction Counts. In many businesses, it's the contact centre where the focus on interactions happens. Every call a customer makes isn't just a contact—it's an opportunity. An opportunity to show the kind of people they are dealing with. It tells them if you care, if they will be valued, and probably most importantly, if they can trust you. The average 100-seat contact centre agent will handle anything upward of 1 million contacts per year. That's 1 million conversations that shape the memory of your business in the customer's mind. Those customers go on to share their stories of interactions with friends, family, or even on review sites and social platforms, spreading the word like a ripple effect in the universe. When you sit in a board meeting and read reports that tell you call volumes, abandon rates, and the number of complaints, it's easy to lose context. It's easy to undervalue these interactions and see them as a pure cost. If you're responsible for Marketing, Branding, or PR in your organisation, how much attention are you paying to not just what is being said in those conversations, but also how it is being said? You spend your time and energy telling the story, selling the sizzle as they say, but how close are you to the reality? Contacts are not just contacts—they are part of the marketing mix and what happens in these calls is an extension of your brand promise. These conversations are prime opportunities to really tell the brand story and build trust—you'd kill for that kind of exchange in an ad campaign! If you asked customers who interact with you to describe your brand values, how confident are you that they could tell you? Every Interaction Counts. What if you start to view contacts as mini adverts for the business? Would you take a different approach? #Customerexperience #Customerservice #brandloyalty #marketing

Did you know... That around 70% of companies ignore customer complaints on X ? 🐦 This isn’t just bad practice; it’s missed potential. Addressing concerns publicly shows accountability and commitment to improvement. It's a chance to convert a dissatisfied customer into a satisfied ambassador. Because on the other hand, 80% of the time, users will love the fact that you listen and reply to their complaints. 💌 So why do brands ignore online complaints so often ? - First, because most companies are afraid to foster negative exposure by adressing and answering complaints. 😨 When silence is actually the best trigger to generate a bad buzz 😅 - Second, they don't have the time, people, tools to keep track of mentions of their brand on all the social platforms and forums. 🧰 That's why we built an accessible tool for effective online reputation management, making it easier for brands to respond promptly. 😁 👉 Are you among the 30% that engages or the 70% that ignores their audience? #OnlineReputationManagement #SocialListening #BrandManagement
