“You Millennials are the laziest generation there is.” “You want to work for free and do the bare minimum.” “You have no respect for authority and are as entitled as they come.” Sound familiar? I’d bet a pretty penny that every Millennial has encountered – either directly or indirectly – such remarks on the generation’s sense of entitlement, poor work ethic, and respect for authority (more accurately, the lack thereof).

The word dramatic is a great word. When you use it to describe changes you make to improve customer service, it has a positive meaning. It sounds like you’re making big changes for the better. However, if you shorten the word to drama , it takes on an entirely different meaning—one that’s negative. Merriam-Webster’s definition for how the word is used in this context is that it is “a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces.”.

There’s a saying in business: if you can’t measure it, it never happened. But how do you measure satisfaction? Luckily, there’s a measure for that, too: customer satisfaction metrics. Customer satisfaction quantifies the degree to which a customer is pleased by a product, brand, or overall experience. If you don’t measure customer satisfaction, you may be blindsided by customers who churn or discourage others from working with you.
