(Episode 312: 11 minutes 30) A survey commissioned by Genesys has shown that Australian businesses are losing more than $2.6 billion each year as a result of poor customer service. 72% of consumers said they had ended a relationship due to poor customer service, and 56% had an experience that made them more likely to do so in the past year.
