Booming Business, Exploding Complaints: What’s Going On?
April 2023 marked a historic moment for the Canadian telecom industry. Rogers Communications successfully acquired Shaw Communications for CAD 26 billion, one of the largest mergers in the nation's history. The CEO optimistically projected significant added value from the Shaw assets, even achieving CAD 1 billion in synergy savings a year ahead of schedule. Revenue soared by 28% in the first quarter of 2024. A success story, right? However, behind these impressive figures lurked a significant challenge: a 118% surge in customer complaints. Imagine, 26% of the 10,663 complaints received by the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (CCTS) were directed at this company. A bitter irony. Sales increased, but reputation suffered. What went wrong?
The Root of the Problem: More Than Just Systems Integration
Integrating two giants like Rogers and Shaw is no simple feat. Beyond merging systems and infrastructure, it involves aligning company cultures, business processes, and most importantly, maintaining customer service quality. The sales team, on the front lines, had to adapt to new systems, procedures, and potentially altered sales targets. Meanwhile, customers faced service changes, new procedures, and perhaps different communication styles. The pressure to achieve post-merger financial targets, such as the billion-dollar data center asset sale to pay off debt, further complicated the situation. In this high-pressure scenario, conventional training often falls short. A smarter, more personalized, and adaptive solution is needed.
