Swift and Friendly Service Across the Globe

Meet YourSurprise, originally rooted in the charming town of Zierikzee, but now making waves worldwide. As they've grown, they've recognized the importance of delivering prompt and friendly customer service. Thanks to the advanced engagement platform from CM.com, YourSurprise has a central hub to connect with customers through every channel imaginable – whether it's over the phone, social media, chat, or WhatsApp. Their mission? Ensuring your interaction is personal and seamless, from the very beginning till the end.

"Almost three-quarters of customer interactions occur during the pre-sale phase. The customer service team sometimes even assists in selecting the perfect gift. This interaction is highly personal. That's why we aim to be easily accessible," says Kirsten Bravenboer, Customer Service Team Lead at YourSurprise. "Our contact information isn't hidden away on our website; it's 'in your face' and readily available." Whenever possible, customers are contacted proactively and personally. The agents position themselves as personal 'gift helpers'. Even in the web widget, there's a photo of the agent, fostering an immediate connection. Additionally, they pay close attention to current cues to enhance the customer experience. "For instance, if a customer orders a gift for a specific birthday, we tailor the conversation accordingly. Personalization isn't just about our products; it's definitely ingrained in our customer service."

Staying Involved Throughout the Entire Customer Journey

Transparency is paramount. Customer service goes beyond assisting with gift choices or handling post-purchase concerns. Throughout the entire customer journey, YourSurprise's team of 35 agents remains actively engaged. "This means that, for instance, we reach out to customers ourselves if we identify that an order has encountered delays in our production process or during transportation due to external factors. Transparency and honesty are the foundations of our customer interactions," explains Kirsten.

Customers truly value this level of engagement and transparency. Agents frequently receive praise for their exceptional service. Moreover, a global customer survey yielded an NPS score of 70. While YourSurprise is content with this, they continuously seek opportunities for improvement. Maintaining customer service involvement throughout the entire customer journey also yields significant benefits for YourSurprise. "We see the role of agents gradually shifting towards sales support. Our agents guide customers better in their journey. In cases where products can't be delivered, we notice that agents focus on replacement rather than cancellation. This prevents order loss, revenue loss, and the customer still receives effective assistance."
