New Survey Finds People Have Less Tolerance For Slow Customer Service
A new survey examining consumer attitudes on customer service, at a time when e-commerce traffic has significantly increased due to the coronavirus pandemic, has found people to be more intolerant and skeptical of the recorded "unusually high call volume" messages. The survey, conducted by ArenaCX, the world's first outsourcing marketplace delivering responsive customer service to businesses, finds that nearly 50% of respondents are not entirely convinced the automated voice recordings are truthful.

Further results revealed that more than 50% of Millennials and Gen Zers would rather get their teeth cleaned over dealing with customer service, suggesting that, among multiple generations, digital natives have the strongest aversion to customer service interactions. When faced with poor customer service, consumer frustration generally results in lost sales as another finding showed that nearly 70% of people of all ages have abandoned a brand after a negative customer experience.
