We know that customer service has always existed and has evolved over time; what used to be considered good service would probably be seen today as obsolete, incomplete or lacking a good service focus.
How many times have we heard the term “user-centricity”?
In the field of customer service, user-centricity is no exception; it's a top priority. In fact, it's an approach that helps us prioritize our customers' needs, preferences and experiences: the famous “customer orientation.”
This approach requires companies to focus on creating a positive and complete experience for the customer, taking care of them at every step, from initial contact to post-purchase follow-up; every detail counts.
