Anyone who has worked in the service industry will know how irritating it can be to treat customers like they're always right, even when it is clear that they aren't always -- which is were this outsourced on-demand customer service platform comes in. The aptly named Service is a startup that deals with customer complaints for free. Service helps people resolve their issues with any company at no extra cost. This also addresses the hesitation many consumers will have, on the other hand, about contacting the customer service department of the business they are unsatisfied with.
Interested parties can lodge their grievances online through Service's website, by inputting a detailed description of the problem plus supporting documents. The on-demand customer service will then communicate with the offending company for you.
