The Need for Speed

As humans, we always seek to improve the ways in which we communicate. The first records of human communication can be traced back to cave drawings from about 40,000 years ago, and we’ve certainly come a long way since then. From written communications to the invention of the telegraph, telephone, pagers, fax machines, mobile phones, and the internet, we have been finding exponentially more efficient ways to share information for centuries. When the internet was born in 1983, it brought an entirely new world of opportunity for businesses and consumers alike. Since then, our access to communication and information has absolutely exploded. We can easily send information across the world and find answers to our questions in a matter of seconds. Everything we need is at our fingertips.

The Age of Convenience

In today’s age of convenience, speed is everything. According to a recent study, 82% of consumers rate an immediate response to a sales question as important. In addition, 90% of consumers consider an immediate response to be important when they have a customer service question. Of these consumers surveyed, more than half defined “immediate” as 10 minutes or less. That means, if you don’t respond to a question in less than 10 minutes, you could be losing half of your opportunities.

These statistics are staggering, but not surprising. We live in a world with nearly endless resources, where everything is personalized and instantly available to us. As a result, we have come to expect more from the world around us, and that includes the businesses with whom we choose to work.

So, what do these statistics tell us about our customers? They tell us that customers want to connect with businesses in a way that is convenient for them, and when the time is right. They want to be able to find honest, reliable information that is easy to navigate and exciting to read. But most importantly, they want their problems to be solved quickly and efficiently. And that includes the back end, as well. If something doesn’t go entirely according to plan during the order fulfillment process, how quickly is the problem resolved? The answer determines whether that customer will choose to return with future opportunities.
