Enhancing Customer Experience: Key Insights from the Ghana Customer Service Index

Enhancing Customer Experience

Yvonne Ohui MacCarthy, Founder of the Institute of Customer Service Professionals (ICSP), has emphasized the need for businesses to adopt a holistic approach to customer service to drive growth and satisfaction.

Speaking at the launch of the Ghana Customer Service Index report, she highlighted concerns about the transportation sector’s declining performance.

“This year, we saw that the transportation index was at the bottom. Transportation usually performs above 7.6, so it’s surprising to see such a drop,” she noted.

She stressed the importance of improving infrastructure and service delivery to enhance customer experience. MacCarthy also pointed out the role of technology in customer service, stating that success is not just about having advanced tools but ensuring that the right people effectively utilize them.

“It’s not just about technology; it’s about how well people who use the technology can maximize its benefits,” she said.

She further explained that customer engagement plays a critical role in business success. “Frequent customers may tolerate minor inconveniences if they are offered a great experience. However, failing to provide engaging services will leave them disinterested,” she added.

MacCarthy urged businesses to focus on hiring the right people, implementing effective processes, and consistently addressing customer needs. She emphasized that organizations must ensure their policies are well-executed to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.

The Ghana Customer Service Index report serves as a benchmark for evaluating service delivery across industries, providing insights into areas that require improvement to boost customer satisfaction nationwide.
