A direct to Consumer (DTC) organization was overwhelmed with product returns and cancellations – unable to handle the volumes and unable to understand the reasons for the returns.
We were retained to assist the organization to complete a ‘root cause analysis‘ to understand the reasoning for the mass amounts of returns and cancellations. We reviewed recorded calls, the existing call scripts and made on-site visits to the Contact Center.
Through observation we identified a number of opportunities to improve the description and positioning of the product, the program and the return policies. We recommended script changes to improve clarity around the product, its use and the return process.
The client implemented the recommended script changes and realized a significant reduction in cancellations and returns, reducing costs and increasing revenues. We were then engaged to complete further projects for this client.
