Let’s Talk About the Decline of Customer Support

Customer support (especially for SaaS companies) is not just a nice-to-have, but necessary for getting over the product adoption hump and demonstrating value. You may have heard the saying, “Your success is our success,” but that’s not the way organizations have been acting of late.

There’s a shift towards de-prioritizing strong customer support, charging premiums for access – treating it as a separate product. This approach undermines customer retention and company reputation and outweighs any short-term financial gains from the additional fees.

Recent research from Cavell highlights this troubling trend: Almost Half of Consumers Feel Customer Service Has Worsened Over Past 3 Years. An Asheville consumer watchdog group also reports a noticeable decline in customer service levels across every industry in the USA.

But as a business, investing in customer service makes financial sense.

Did you know that…

  • It costs 5x more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. Exceptional support plays a crucial role in retaining customers by resolving issues promptly and fostering positive experiences.
  • 96% of customers say that customer service is an important factor in their choice of loyalty to a brand.
  • Companies that excel in customer experience grow revenues 4-8% above their market average.

It’s a true differentiator

While some providers treat support as a cost to minimize, taking the opposite approach ingratiates customers to you, creates loyalty, boosts customer satisfaction, and increases referrals.
