Complaining
Shop Talk looks at what companies can learn from their customers' complaints.
If we're not satisfied with the way a company has treated us, we're now far more likely to complain.
A survey last year found that 16 per cent of us make a complaint every single time we're dissatisfied, with a further 36 per cent making a fuss on most occasions. The number is increasing year on year but as we complain more, companies are increasingly having to sit up and take notice and even learn from our complaints.
Customer relationship management is becoming big business and vital to a company's competitiveness. Keeping a customer is now often down to how good an experience he or she has with the company.
Shop Talk asks whether companies are now getting better at responding to complaints, and looks at how they are changing the way they deal with their customers.
