What we learned about customer service, according to Forbes, is that, of almost 1,000 consumers polled, 92% say they would stop purchasing from a company after three or fewer poor customer service experiences. According to the 2018 Customer Service Expectations Survey, 26% of those would stop after just one bad experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owing to the low average E-commerce conversion rates, the above statistics are something that store owners need to ponder and act fast.
