Customer Service Matters

According to the Institute of Customer Service’s (ICS) most recent UK Customer Satisfaction Index, more companies have declined in service than improved. In 2021 and 2022, customer satisfaction with complaint handling showed a steady improvement but this has now stalled and other areas of customer satisfaction that are predictive of business performance have also declined. 

In today’s economy, keeping customers happy and getting them to remain loyal is essential. Happy and successful customers are the lifeblood of any business. They are what transforms your growth from a funnel into a flywheel. 

The first article below provides some of the key areas to focus on.

While we know there are some brilliant examples of above and beyond customer care from our clients, there is always room for improvement. If you would like to discuss any service issues, please contact tinac@peplows.co.uk.

Below is our round-up of the latest tax and business news. Please contact us if you want to talk about how these updates affect you or your business. We are here to support you!
