Re:
Customer Satisfaction
Hello
team,
We
have
an
opportunity
to
increase
our
level
of
awareness,
specifically
regarding
customer
satisfaction.
We
have
recently
implemented
a
software
called
NVivo,
which
is
a
coding
mechanism
designed
to
help
us
filter
and
categorize
our
customer
complaints.
To
assist
us
in
identifying
our
primary
complaints
out
on
our
complaint
forum
site,
we
have
coded
them
into
three
main
categories:
Characterization:
specific
issues
with
the
product
itself
Referral:
complaints
that
should
be
referred
to
a
specific
dept
to
be
addressed
Messaging:
pertains
to
the
way
our
company
(product,
service,
etc.)
is
being
presented
Additionally,
we
have
created
sub-codes
within
the
categories
to
further
specify
exactly
what
the
concern
is.
For
example,
within
Messaging
we
have
a
sub-category
for
Communication.
We
believe
this
will
allow
our
team
to
drill
down
to
the
exact
concern
hidden
within
our
many
complaints.
In
reviewing
the
final
data,
there
are
of
course
minor
product
specific
issues
which
we
will
refer
to
the
respective
departments
in
order
to
address,
repair
and
replace
as
needed.
However
the
resounding
message
from
the
customer
complaint
forum,
as
soon
through
this
NVivo
coding
process,
is
that
our
customers
struggle
with
accessing
our
customer
service
teams.
We
have
failed
at
creating
a
clear
path
for
customers
to
access
us
when
they
need
help,
and
in
turn
have
created
an
even
larger
issue.
The
overall
message
which
is
negatively
affecting
us
is
that
we
have
lacking
customer
service.
We
believe
from
the
point
that
our
customers
reach
us,
the
service
provided
at
that
point
is
not
lacking.
By
doing
nothing,
we
have
allowed
a
message
to
be
created
about
the
Apple
brand
that
says
we
do
not
care
about
our
customers.
Each
time
a
customer
fails
to
reach
us
with
a
question,
concern
or
issue,
we
are
unintentionally
strengthening
this
message.
So
the
challenge
we
are
faced
with
is
identifying
how
we
can
be
more
accessible
to
our
customers.
We
are
tasking
the
Customer
Service
Department
leadership
with
this
and
have
called
for
a
resolution
proposal
to
be
submitted
by
Feb
27.
We
would
like
to
see
details
on
new
customer
service
channels
from
our
website
that
directly
feed
to
your
queue,
not
into
the
complaint
forum.
We
also
need
to
see
the
flow
chart
of
customer
service
phone
calls
and
online
submissions,
from
point
of
receipt
through
the
path
until
resolution.
Continue
using
NVivo
moving
forward
to
monitor
and
code
customer
complaints.
This
will
also
help
us
understand
if
the
measures
taken
this
month
are
working
to
resolve
this
larger
issue.
Thank
you,
