It can, at times, also help you understand their perceptions and habits regarding their participation with you. Finally, you can get a real handle on how well your people interact with your customers.
Do your employees add or subtract value when they talk to customers? Is your phone answered by a live person or by auto-attendant in three rings or less? Call your office, find out what is said when the phone is answered OR Have someone call your office and ask a question to see what the response might be. How do your sellers on the floor in B2C or in B2B situations approach a customer? When is the last time your rewarded someone for outstanding customer service? When is the last time you gave your staff some customer service notes or training?
