Abstract
This research examines the evolution of customer service metrics in the digital era, highlighting the transition from traditional metrics like response times to more advanced, holistic measures. Acknowledging the shift in consumer expectations due to digitalization, the study explores both traditional and emerging metrics, such as customer satisfaction scores and Net Promoter Score (NPS), to understand their impact on customer service strategies. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data from consumer surveys with qualitative insights from interviews with industry experts. Key findings indicate a significant move towards metrics that emphasize quality and personalization in customer interactions, beyond mere operational efficiency. This study contributes to digital marketing and consumer behavior literature by advocating for a balanced integration of traditional and advanced metrics. It underscores the necessity for businesses to adapt to the evolving digital landscape to enhance customer experiences and sustain growth.
