Want better customer service? Treat your employees better
Briefly

Poor customer service can severely impact a business's financial health. The example of United Airlines illustrates this, as the viral song 'United Breaks Guitars,' detailing a customer's negative experience, led to a 10% loss in their stock value. In an era of digital connectivity, customers can easily share their experiences online, influencing potential consumers and harming a company's reputation. Research indicates that negative experiences are shared more frequently than positive ones. However, companies known for exceptional customer service, like Zappos and Ritz-Carlton, emphasize the importance of fostering remarkable customer experiences to ensure business success.
United Airlines lost 10% of its stock value within a week of the viral video 'United Breaks Guitars,' amounting to a $180 million loss.
Customers in today's digital age can share negative experiences widely, impacting brands significantly through reviews and social media.
Research indicates that 49% of consumers are more inclined to share negative experiences via social media, highlighting the urgent need for businesses to focus on customer service.
Companies like Zappos and Southwest Airlines excel in customer service, showcasing how remarkable experiences can lead to success in a competitive market.
