How to support your customer service staff during the cost-of-living crisis

The pressure on customers is well-documented, but service staff need the full support of their business and guidance from their leaders during these difficult times too.

In the 1970s, big players in the burgeoning computer industry coined the phrase FUD. It stands for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, and it’s what behemoths like IBM tried to sow in the minds of customers in relation to plucky young upstarts like Microsoft and Apple.

Stop it, we’re sick of the ‘Covid’ excuse

Since March 2020, how many times have you heard ‘due to Covid, we can’t do x, y and z’ or ‘there’s a delay due to Covid’?
