"Anytime a customer comes into
contact with any aspect of a business,
however remote, is an opportunity to
form an impression."
‘Moments of Truth’, Jan Carlzon

Asking the right
questions, to the right
people in the right way
Tactical
• Focused on a specific ‘event’ – i.e. a
complaint
• Freshness of recall
• Focusing on the experience
• Higher frequency of data collection
• Consider the method – self
completion vs. interview
Strategic
• Not all dissatisfied customers
complain / most complaints do not
reach management
• Complaints question set as part of
overall perception set.
• Typically as part of an annual survey
• Cost effective and efficient
• Granular?

• What was the nature of the problem?
• Did you make them aware? Yes / No

• How satisfied or dissatisfied were you with: -
– The way the problem was handled? Scale of score / Probe low scores (Why?)
– The speed of the resolution? Scale of score / Probe low scores (Why?)
Questions you can ask (Tactical survey)
• Have you recently made a complaint? Yes / No
• Is the complaint closed or still ongoing?
• What was the nature of the complaint?

2018 2016
16.7% of customers have had
a problem (26.5% in 2016)
Relatively low compared to 26% on TLF database.
“There has been a catalogue of
errors on one job. The final straw
was long lead times, deliveries
going wrong and wrong items.”
“They used to be quite exclusive to
members but now they are passing out work to others which is pushing
me to use other suppliers who give
better customer service and lower
prices.”
“Problems with the latest product. It’s not
their traditional product – I think they
bought it in from Czech Republic or
somewhere. It’s in the low end range
and there were delays and issues with
the overall quality.”
What was the nature of your problem?
“The quoted lead time
wasn’t achieved and they
didn’t answer the question I
asked in my e-mail.”
Problem Handling – Scores have increased for
handling but have dropped for speed of resolution

Summary
• Complaints – ‘Opportunity’ or ‘Threat’
• We’d love to eliminate complaints but we can’t
• Tip of the iceberg – many who have a problem don’t complain
• Heavy financial implication for poor complaint handling
• Measurement of complaint handling is an essential tactic
• Measurement alone is not enough – action needs to be taken
