information) and prepare a report containing:
Task details
Background
Coffeeville, initially established in 2009 by Emma and Rufus Belcastran as Melbourne's sole café,
has experienced rapid expansion over the years. The company now boasts numerous coffee
shops and also offers coffee-related merchandise and supplies to wholesale clients. To enhance
cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency, Coffeeville recently launched a new website
dedicated to serving their wholesale customers. In order to gather essential details for this
report, we engaged in consultations with the CoffeeVille team and its owners, seeking valuable
insights and information.
Findings
The CoffeeVille customer service survey was conducted at the end of fiscal 2019, with a sample
size of 500 customers. The overall findings of the survey indicated a mostly satisfactory
customer experience. However, there are areas of concern that CoffeeVille needs to address in
order to enhance their customer service. According to the survey results, 35% of the sample
base did not believe that CoffeeVille meets their satisfaction requirements. This is worrisome, as
it is dangerously close to the halfway mark, which signifies a stable and loyal customer base. It
is crucial for CoffeeVille to minimize customer dissatisfaction in order to retain their customers.
Furthermore, the survey revealed that a larger number of respondents (75) expressed
dissatisfaction with the customer service provided, compared to those who reported positive
Recommendations
Upon analyzing the customer service survey, it has become evident that the primary challenge in
CoffeeVille's customer service efforts lies in their inadequate handling of internal service errors. To
address this issue, there are several strategies that CoffeeVille should promptly implement:
Utilize positive language: Effective communication with customers involves using positive
language, which can alleviate stress and foster trust. The words we choose have significant
impact, and they can help build a strong rapport with customers. For instance, instead of
instructing customers not to press the red button, frame it positively by highlighting the green
button as the preferred option. Additionally, phrases like "Good question, I'll find it for you!" and
"I would love to understand more about..." demonstrate a willingness to assist and engage with
customers on a deeper level.
By implementing these strategies, CoffeeVille can improve their internal customer service
processes and enhance overall customer satisfaction.
Organizations can gain valuable insights from their customer interactions through
comprehensive quality checks across various channels. This enables them to make informed
decisions and enhance their services and processes. While it remains crucial to measure and
While not all personal customer experiences are fully documented and analyzed, valuable
information can be gathered from sources such as call recordings, customer emails, social media
interactions, and customer satisfaction surveys. By leveraging these insights, organizations can
gain a deeper understanding of the customer experience. This knowledge empowers companies
to refine their services and tailor their products to meet precise customer needs, leading to
increased satisfaction and loyalty.
Maintain a centralized master list of current sellers offering rebate checks or credit notes.
Implement a formal system to diligently track past correspondences and pricing requirements in
a centralized location.
Ensure that material handling and purchasing departments take responsibility for follow-ups on
items listed for refunds, including calculating the refund amount and issuing the reimbursement
(credit or credit note).
Regularly reconcile the reimbursement notes with the seller account statements to maintain
consistency and accuracy in the refund process.

Budget allocation
Based on the budget variance analysis for Q2 of fiscal 2019, it is evident that the allocated budget
for training purposes has not been fully utilized. The original training budget was set at $5,000, but
the actual expenditure on training activities was significantly lower, amounting to less than $1,000.
As a result, approximately 80% of the allocated funds remain unused.
In order to enhance customer service, it is recommended that the remaining $4,000 be reallocated
and added back into the budget for the next quarter's training initiatives. This will increase the total
budget for training in the upcoming quarter to $9,000, providing a substantial boost to the available
resources. The primary focus of this additional training investment will be on equipping customer
service staff with the necessary knowledge and skills pertaining to new procedures and customer
satisfaction standards. By prioritizing these training efforts, the organization aims to improve overall
customer service quality and meet evolving customer expectations.
In conclusion, this report has uncovered significant issues within Coffeeville's customer service
operations, primarily stemming from the careless behavior of the existing customer service staff.
It is imperative for Coffeeville to thoroughly investigate these deficiencies and promptly address
the situation. To rectify these issues and ensure future success, the business can consider
implementing the following solutions:
Recognize the significance of customer loyalty: Retaining existing customers is often more cost-
effective and efficient than acquiring new ones. Understanding the importance of customer
loyalty highlights the value of building strong relationships with customers. Loyal customers are
Leadership plays a pivotal role: Establishing effective customer service within an organization
and continuously improving it requires commitment from top-level management. Leaders must
recognize the importance of customer service, believe in the strategy, lead by example, and
take active steps to support those responsible for the operation. Their involvement and support
are crucial for creating a customer-centric culture throughout the organization.
By implementing these strategies, Coffeeville can address the underlying customer service issues,
foster customer loyalty, and demonstrate leadership commitment to delivering exceptional customer
experiences.
