Focused to helping companies WOW their customers, the purpose of this study was to assess how WOW the utility industry is. After randomly selecting a sample of investor owned, cooperatives, and municipalities, King attempted 5 calls into each utility call center to assess the level of customer service and efficiency. All calls were recorded and then evaluated against 23 behavioral criteria to identify how these utilities stacked up. “I was surprised by the results,” states King. “On a scale of 0 – 100%, the highest score was 60% with an average of only 46.1%.” This means that fewer than 11 of the standards were achieved on the average call. According to King’s research, 51.8% of the calls were answered with the company name, 9.2% of the representatives used a warm and friendly tone and 10.1% thanked her for calling. (PRWeb Aug 1, 2008)
