Poor customer experience (CX) among Australian retailers is costing them AU$82 billion per year. As a result, retailers risk losing 7% of their potential revenue, according to data in the Qualtrics 2023 Global Consumer Trends report. Approximately 19% of interactions in the Australian retail sector are reported to be ‘’very poor’’ – an increase of 7% compared to last year. Almost 40% of consumers reported that they will stop giving a brand their business after having just one bad customer service experience. At the 2022 International Customer Management Institute (ICMI) Global Contact Center Awards, held in Orlando, US, Peak Support was named Best Outsourcing Provider of the Year. This award is given to teams that consistently elevate the experience for both customers and team members. So far this year, Peak Support has achieved notable growth and say their biggest differentiator is their capacity to serve clients experiencing high levels of growth. For the 11th consecutive year, TELUS leads the Canadian telecoms industry with the fewest complaints amongst national carriers as confirmed by this year’s Commission for Complaints about Telecom-Television Services (CCTS) report. This achievement is reflected by the company’s Q3 2022 customer growth, including the addition of 347 000 total mobile and fixed customers, as well as 73 000 net additions of robust wireline customers.
