Studies show that…

• Within seconds, a customer will make a conclusion on the credibility and integrity of a company based on how speech, accent, grammar and tone of voice were used by the company’s representative.
• Customers make quick judgments, not on content but on the sound characteristics of an individual’s speech and voice quality such as sounding nasal, too high or mumbling.
• Fast judgments are made on how customers feel they were treated such as immediately being placed on hold or listening to fast or monotone speech patterns.

For a business to be successful, it is essential that customers feel respected, valued and understood as they choose to spend or not to spend money on products or services. The right interaction can influence a customer’s mood, emotion and opinion about a company. Both positive and negative interactions ultimately influences sales, profits, reputation an outcome.
