Heard the new realities in customer service?  Delighting customers doesn’t pay, the “dazzle factor” is wildly overrated, and customer service won’t make your customers more loyal.  Crazy, hey?  Well, maybe not.

A recent study by Corporate Executive Board (CEB), a leading member-based advisory committee for tens of thousands of organizations around the world, showed that what customers value in service situations more than anything else is for companies to make customer service effortless for them.  CEB also found that companies that provide low-effort customer service experiences are 31% more likely to win repeat business, and 88% of them were able to increase their share of wallet.  While the numbers are certainly appealing, it still begs the question:  How does one begin to achieve this service nirvana?
