Customer expectations when it comes to customer service are getting higher every year, in fact, Microsoft reports that 54% of consumers report expecting exceptional customer service. This means that companies must know their audience, where and how they communicate and what platforms they use.
For example, American Express reports that millennials will pay 21% more to do business with companies that excel at customer service.
