Business Leaders Overestimate Customer Satisfaction, New Amdocs Study Reveals

A recent study by Amdocs highlights a significant disconnect between business leaders and consumers regarding customer experience (CX). The research found that while 92% of business leaders consider CX a strategic priority, only 28% believe it is crucial to invest in. Despite this, 80% of leaders feel they meet customer expectations, whereas only 24% of consumers agree.

The consequences of poor customer service are profound, with 54% of consumers ceasing support after just four negative experiences. This could put $3.8 trillion in global sales at risk by 2025. Despite ample customer feedback, organizations often overlook or misuse these insights due to staffing or training deficiencies.

Amdocs urges companies to reassess their CX approach, emphasizing the need for genuine investment and transformation to bridge the gap between perception and reality.
