CASE STUDY DRIVING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, SAVING MILLIONS The proliferation of networked devices in the home has resulted in complexity that could hardly have been anticipated a decade ago. Consumers frequently turn to trusted service providers for quick, low hassle resolutions to technically challenging questions. As one service provider found, Customer Support Representatives (CSRs) don t always have the expertise to troubleshoot device problems, resulting in unnecessary and costly returns. When investigating the problem, ARRIS found that many of the returned devices were without defect yet were automatically replaced with a new device driving up costs and technician time. Having identified the root cause, ARRIS revised faulty protocols and delivered enhanced CSR training that reduced returns and No Trouble Found (NTF) rates. The service provider realized almost $2 million in annual savings, reduced churn, and noted a marked uptick in customer satisfaction that left them better able to compete for today s demanding consumers.
