Only 2 in 10 are fully satisfied with customer service’s waiting time: report

Qualtrics research showed that 57% of consumers said their issues were fully resolved.

Just 20% of Singaporean consumers said they were fully satisfied with the waiting time when accessing customer service teams, research from the Qualtrics XM Institute revealed.

The study also showed that 57% of consumers said their issues were fully resolved.

Qualtrics said, “having personable and helpful service agents is among the most impactful drivers of customer satisfaction, and findings show how for many customers these capabilities make a bigger positive difference than wait times.”

“Across Asia, customers who have their issues fully resolved during the interaction are 3.5 times more likely to be satisfied with their overall experience, and those happy with the wait time are 2.4 times more likely to be satisfied,” it added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers.

The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
