"With an aim to build a long term relationship with customers, Hong Kong Boardband Networks Ltd (HKBN) adopts "Account Servicing" concept in call centre operation for a mass market - residential customers. By adopting this concept, HKBN is able to enhance customer experience in every interaction and build a long term relationship with customers. The result can be reflected by higher spending per customer, low complaint rate, and higher customer satisfaction. The Account Servicing Team is named as SDU (Special Duty Unit), which implies team members are multi-skilled, have a tracked record of good performance, and are able to build a stronger relationship with customers at all contacts. Team members of SDU team come from Telesales team and Customer Service team. Through a series of intensive training on mindset, product, and skills training, the two teams are integrated successfully and achieve outstanding business results."
