I can remember it well. I was in charge of a contact center a few jobs ago and we were having our second outage in as many days. After service had been restored, I got a call from a customer. It just so happened to be from a customer to whom I had issued a service credit just a day earlier in hopes of restoring his confidence in our company.

QUI QUOTE: Nobody raves about a company that meets customer expectations. When you are working in customer service, you have been happy that your customers leave satisfied. You have sold them a product or service that meets their wants or needs. Or you solved their problem for them. You were happy because, in the end, you met their expectations and they were satisfied.

What exactly does this mean for businesses? The short answer is: you can no longer filter customers before asking them for a review. You can’t choose who you’re going to ask (“selectively solicit”) reviews from.
