In Celebration of Customer Service Week, Teckst Launches Thank You Generator - tellthemthx.com
NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) October 03, 2016 -- Teckst, a first-to-market service that enables two-way text messaging for customer service and eliminates millions of hours of hold time, has created a simple way to tell customer service professionals thank you. Teckst’s Thank You Generator tellthemthx.com was created for customers to easily share their great customer service experiences with the brands that helped them.
Customer Service Week, an international celebration of customer service personnel, kicks off today with an assortment of celebrations. In the U.S. alone, more than 2.5 million people work in the customer service field (source: Bureau of Labor). From small internal teams at startups to giant outsourced operations for larger enterprises, the customer service function has elevated to become a revenue generating department and essential to the operations of businesses.
“The customer service industry is undergoing a massive transformation powered by companies like ours,” said Matt Tumbleson, CEO & Founder of Teckst. “The move from in-store to online shopping has prompted a massive customer behavior shift. Instead of trying on clothes in a brick-and-mortar store, customers reach out to customer service teams to help them make a decision about whether to purchase or not. With the inefficiencies of phone calls, emails and web chats, texting is filling the gap for customers.”
This shift in customer behavior has transformed customer service teams from “stop the bleeding” post-purchase helpers to sales associates tasked with helping generate revenue and drive business growth. The invention and implementation of the Chief Customer Officer at companies like Salesforce and Jet.com is cementing the customer journey into one distinctive path across marketing, product and operations.
To celebrate the customer service industry and tell them thank you for helping solve a problem, or even choose a sweater and shoe combination, head to tellthemthx.com and share your thanks.
