Lets face it. Wholesale SMS is an increasingly commoditized industry. One of the powerful sustainable differentiator in such an industry is customer service. Especially when price is low already. That is why at Nexmo, we take customer support seriously. We don’t call it customer support but customer satisfaction and loyalty. It is easy to support, it is much more complex to create loyalty.
Thanks to Zendesk and Gooddata, we can now have a better visibility on how we are performing. And to my surprise, I found out this morning these figures:
Some feedback:
“I like the fact that I always thought I have to wait longer to get a response Support rocks” “Really nice getting helpful information and in such a timely fashion. Much appreciated!” “Thanks for your quick answer. I sent all my message with the help of your list. Regards.” “Quick answer and relevant solution. Thanks again” “Very nice feature with the chat function, in a very short time it got my answers.” “Your customer service is quick and honest” “Answers were fast and to the point” “I liked your service and support .Its Fantastic . Keep going” “Yay! Go Nexmo!”
