“Being on par in terms of price and quality only gets you into the game. Service wins the game” – Tony Alessandra

This quote clearly shows you the power of customer service. Whenever a customer finds some difficulty or fault in your product, the people whom he or she contacts belong to customer service department. If customer service fails to respond to the queries of a client, what impact you think they would get from it? The answer is very simple they will stop doing business with you, they will not recommend you to their friends and associates. Moreover, it will cause a negative word of mouth regarding your product. Do you think in the current business environment you can take this much risk? When the competition is skyrocketing? Obviously not.

What is SLA

SLA is a term with which even most of the people using a CRM are not well familiar. It stands for Service Level Agreement, it is a tool which enhances the outcome of customer service department. Do all the client queries are of the same nature and can be solved in the same amount of time? Well, yes in fairy tales. But this is not the case in the real-time business environment. The magnitude and priority of every customer complaint and query vary from case to case, thus the amount of time required to answer and resolve them is also different from one another. SLA sets the time duration in which a query should be responded and resolved according to the scenario, resources, and intensity of the problem. It is estimated that the importance of customer service will outrun product aspect of the marketing mix by 2020.
