Their research found that consumers are submitting less complaints even for serious problems – NOT because they feel they are getting better service, but because of what they call “trained helplessness.” Customers feel their complaints do little good – nobody listens or acts. Where does your company stand on customer complaints? Do you have a way to record them? Do you have a system to assure each complaint receives a quick and fair response? How do you know it is working?
