Customer Service Maturity Model by next4biz

The customer support department is the clearing house for all customer concerns raised from multiple communication channels. Research has shown a positive correlation between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty as well as between customer loyalty and business profitability.

Customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction is the result of a confirmation, or lack thereof, of the expected service quality versus the perceived service quality. “The goal of customer care is to ensure that customers are satisfied with the process and the outcome of an interaction with the customer care center,” according to Woodruff and Cadotte (1983).

The customer care maturity model should be used as an internal management tool that supports the international customer care standards. Therefore, the maturity model must not only help in the assessment of customer care maturity, but also provide guidance for improvement. This is how next4biz measures and optimizes your customer service for maturity.
