What customers expect
When things aren’t working as they should customers expect their CSP to help them find out why and fix it quickly. But technical customer support hasn’t kept pace with customer expectations and too-often is an unpredictable lottery that depends on the knowledge of individual agents. Digitally savvy and self-sufficient customers expect more and yet are faced with having to call customer service with a frustrating wait for assistance without an accurate answer or, worse still, no answer at all.
Meet John
John is a digitally-savvy customer whose internet speed is too slow for him to videoconference his colleagues or watch the latest Netflix movie with his kids. John wants to fix the problem himself but is frustrated.

1.
John can’t resolve his slow data speed via self-service so is forced out of his preferred digital channels and has to call customer service.
2.
The new agent discovers that fixing the fault is taking longer than expected. But John has lost confidence in his service provider. ‘Why have they wasted his time?’ he thinks. Was it so hard to text him to tell him there was a delay?
After a frustrating 10-minute wait accompanied by bad music he finally gets to explain to an agent what’s wrong. He then has to wait again while she investigates his problem.
The agent can’t find what’s wrong, so she transfers John to 2nd line support. John has to repeat information and wait while the new agent investigates.
John starts looking for new broadband deals and a service provider that will take his needs seriously.

Unfortunately, John’s data speed continues to disrupt his enjoyment of the movie. Increasingly frustrated, John calls customer service again, queues for another 15 minutes and angrily asks the new agent why the problem still hasn’t been fixed.

The 2nd line support agent tells John there’s a problem in his area that’ll be resolved soon. She closes the case. Can John finally enjoy his Netflix movie?
What customers really need – personalized and proactive support
John’s experience is all too common. But customers need and demand more. It’s no longer good enough to efficiently sort out reported issues, because only 1-3% of your customers contact their CSP when they experience problems. Instead, customers expect CSPs to provide personalized proactive support around-the-clock and in channels that suit them..
Personalized support
Subtonomy’s research shows that 90% of customers now expect personalized advanced notification about planned network performance issues and virtually all customers (99%) expect CSPs to follow through with timely updates.
Instant information
Customers don’t want to have to queue for answers. Long wait times and even longer support calls put customers off contacting their CSP. Which is why only 1-3% of customers currently report faults. This is bad news for CSPs because it doesn’t give them chance to put things right before their customers silently churn.
More autonomy
Customers want to find out information for themselves and provide feedback to their CSP. They only want to call a CSR if they’ve tried and failed to resolve their problem or find the information they need.
Transparent information
Enterprise customers, in particular, value having access to more information. Proactively informing them about planned maintenance allows them to take mitigation measures. Being more transparent about current network performance helps them figure out if the problems they are experiencing are on their side or yours – speeding resolution.
More channels for support
As customers become more digitally savvy their habits change. 43% say their phone is no longer one of their top 3 preferred channels. Instead, they prefer to use digital channels to solve their problem or find the information they need. Almost 9 out of 10 would also prefer to file their complaints online.
Round-the-clock support
The always-on digital world means customers need extended support times. 6 out of 10 customers expect the exact same contact center availability over the weekend as during the week, and 3 out of 10 expect 24x7 support.
