AS The customer service quality of 500+ companies (small and big

based on total employees) across the world was analyzed by sending an email with below two questions:

1. Do you have a phone number, I can call you on?2. Where can I find pricing information on your website?

This report was created to identify how companies handle customer support. Before the study, it was assumed that:

1. Customer service is a priority for most, if not all, companies2. Smaller companies would manage customer service better than bigger ones3. All companies would respond quickly to customer service requests

But I do not watch that channel

You can call and cancel Industry: Telco

Finding 1: When the customer share that they do not watch the promotional channel, AND agent says that they can call and cancel after the promo period of three monthsFinding 2: 85% of customers would churn within 3 months

Industry: TelcoReduce Churn: We were able to determine Churn Signals BEFORE the customers left our clientInstall Cost: We were able to reduce the returned installation by ensuring we are setting expectations on time taken for install, and requirement of someone who is 18 years old at the address.
