Navigating Customer Service in the Financial Sector in the Wake of Covid-19
Our country is a much different place than it was five years ago due to the impacts of Covid-19. No one can deny that it will have lasting effects across every industry. However, the financial sector is facing even more challenges through the economic downturn. Despite all these challenges, TLC Associates is working with several partners in the financial sector to support their clients through these difficult times.
The Financial Impacts of Covid-19
The financial impacts of the worldwide pandemic are still not fully realized. Many companies ceased production due to outbreaks and public health standards. Then, there were the disruptions in the supply and transportation chains. Now, the entire country is seeing increased inflation and financial hardship.
From the service side of things, it also meant an increase in call volume and the number of problems needing to be addressed. Where many other companies are struggling to maintain the same levels of customer service, TLC has made it our mission to ensure the highest standards of service.
The Importance of Customer Service through the Pandemic
Everyone is on high-alert and dealing with more stress just to function in their daily lives. And with more instances of fraud and poor customer service, it creates even more tension and increased conflicts since emotions are running high.
Therefore, the need for well-trained agents and exceptional customer service is more important than ever before. Taking the time to show compassion and empathy is crucial to deliver quality customer service. Patience and communication make a huge impact toward improving each interaction and creating a positive experience.
An Evolving Customer Service Model
A changing world requires partnerships that can adapt and evolve. TLC strives to not only meet, but exceed client expectations, even in the most trying of times.
According to one of our partners in the financial sector, it seems we have seen a great amount of success so far:
“TLC Associates was recently added as a new vendor in 2022. TLC Associates has become one of our favorites. TLC Associates is quick to respond to our requests, questions, and challenges with thoughtful answers and solutions that make sense. We brought them on because they are industry experts, and we have not been disappointed. We appreciate the commitment they have to developing their teams to support our business and the nimbleness they show to adapt to each of our unique situations. As we came out of COVID, TLC Associates was one of the few providing services with all personnel in the office and we believe that helped increase speed of learning and support for our business.”
If your company has been hit hard by the effects of the pandemic, choosing the right partner can help you and your company navigate the changing complexities and landscape within the financial sector.
