In 2020, CoinFlip experienced a significant increase in customer service calls due to rapid expansion into new markets and changes in the economy due to the coronavirus pandemic. To meet this demand, the company focused on expanding its department and implementing new systems to handle the volume. Between March 2020 and December 2020, the number of customer service calls increased by 334%, while the average hold time decreased by 56% and the average handle time decreased by 15%.
“We define success by how happy our customers are with their service and our product,” said Weiss. “Because of the financial uncertainty at the onset of the pandemic, our team made a conscious effort to keep hold times down while spending extra time with each caller to ensure they were satisfied. A careful balancing act that our team pulled off flawlessly. I’m so proud of our team for going the extra mile to deliver customer service that’s recognized to be one of the best.”
CoinFlip’s efforts earned praise from the Stevie Awards judging panel:
- “Congratulations on your explosive growth and maintaining your service levels.”
- “Good company with good customer care relations. Well focused on customer based.”
- “Impressive growth! Great to detail the contact channels offered to customers, as well as the opening hours. Being able to absorb the volume increase in such a short time is a really great achievement.”
More than 2,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry, in 51 nations, were considered in this year’s competition. Winners were determined by the average scores of more than 160 professionals worldwide on nine specialized judging committees. Entries were considered in more than 90 categories for customer service and contact center achievements, including Contact Center of the Year, Award for Innovation in Customer Service, and Customer Service Department of the Year.
“In the toughest working environment in memory for most organizations, 2021 Stevie Award winners still found ways to innovate, grow sales, please their customers, and secure new business,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Gallagher. “The judges have recognized and rewarded this, and we join them in applauding this year’s winners for their continued success.”
