Then we&#8217;re surprised that some stores are closing. He lost his job and is still wondering why.<\/p>\n\n<p>The difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/challenge-action.com\/formations\/vente-en-magasin\/\">in-store<\/a> and online sales is customer service: you&#8217;re willing to pay a little more for advice, otherwise you might as well buy at the cheapest price on the Net.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The worst practices on websites<\/h2>\n\n<p>Many claim that technology makes things easier, but this is not the case in these examples.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Suppliers find it more convenient to stop sending you invoices by post, understandably, or even by e-mail. All they do is inform you by e-mail that you have received a message or an invoice in your customer area. The problem is that we can have up to dozens of suppliers, that for security reasons we need a different password for each platform, and that identifiers vary: sometimes it&#8217;s your name, sometimes your e-mail address, sometimes an assigned number. Everyone has their own system, their own procedures, their own validations, their own &#8220;security&#8221; blocks, so you hesitate to go and check, you forget, then you get urgent reminders, interest for the delay, penalties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>L\u2019assistante de mon comptable me rappelle d\u2019un ton imp\u00e9rieux que je dois payer mes factures. Eh oui, ils ne les envoient plus par courriel maintenant, il faut aller les chercher sur leur site dans lequel il est aussi facile de trouver une information qu\u2019une aiguille dans une botte de foin.<ul><li>Les cartes Desjardins que je payais toujours sur r\u00e9ception du courrier pour \u00e9viter les int\u00e9r\u00eats n\u2019envoient plus de factures, ni papier ni par courriel dans le mode virtuel, il faut aller les chercher apr\u00e8s force de validations dans un site compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9pass\u00e9 compar\u00e9 \u00e0 des banques internationales comme <a href=\"https:\/\/wise.com\/\">Wise<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Le pire, le site de Revenu Qu\u00e9bec est un exemple d\u2019anachronisme, on croirait se retrouver aux origines du web. Pour le service d\u2019immatriculation aux entreprises, par exemple, il faut passer des heures avec l\u2019assistance. Les conseill\u00e8res sont heureusement gentilles et donnent un service impeccable, mais elles-m\u00eames reconnaissent que le site n\u2019est pas des plus convivial, c\u2019est un euph\u00e9misme !&nbsp; On s\u2019y fait bloquer sans arr\u00eat pour des raisons multiples, il d\u00e9fie toute logique. On h\u00e9site donc \u00e0 aller tenter de s\u2019identifier \u00e0 la r\u00e9ception d\u2019un courrier vous informant d\u2019une communication, mais un jour on re\u00e7oit un courrier, papier cette fois, pour dire que l\u2019on a du retard pour l\u2019immatriculation et que l\u2019on \u00e9cope d\u2019une p\u00e9nalit\u00e9. On va sur le site payer la p\u00e9nalit\u00e9 pour ensuite se faire bloquer\u2026\u2026.., apr\u00e8s le paiement ! On vous indique qu\u2019il faut revenir 24h ou 48h plus tard pour r\u00e9essayer.<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Amazon is just the opposite: the site&#8217;s simplicity is what makes it so effective, but you end up with the Prime version without even knowing what you&#8217;ve ticked or not ticked, which generates substantial additional revenue for the company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Revenue Canada site, in addition to its many French mistakes, is sometimes unavailable in the evenings, as it is undergoing &#8220;maintenance&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I&#8217;m not talking about the SAAQ system that made the headlines, or even Phoenix, for which the Canadian government paid billions of dollars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some suppliers have two sites, like Videotron, one for telephony and another for Helix. Problem: it&#8217;s not the same ID, not the same password. Statistically, we&#8217;re wrong one time out of two, we get stuck, when there isn&#8217;t a breakdown. The question is whether it&#8217;s our mistake or their site that&#8217;s blocked, and if so it&#8217;s almost impossible to talk to anyone. The agents provide impeccable, smiling service, but their system is inconsistent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vimeo, a video hosting company, is a disaster. For example, I host my training videos there. I try to add a video, but due to technical problems with the site I try to download it several times, without success. I sent a message to customer service, who told me that I had exceeded my quotas. When I explain that the problem is theirs, they say the same thing. A few days later, they told me that as I hadn&#8217;t replied within three days, they were going to close my ticket, in their great hurry to do so. Later, one of their agents informed me that I was dealing with automated responses by bots. Too late, I quit, I found better and cheaper elsewhere.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Artificial intelligence is said to improve service, but it comes with its share of errors, and it&#8217;s a mistake to put too much faith in it, like that American lawyer in court who cited case law that didn&#8217;t exist because it had been created by ChatGPT!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n<p>Some will say that among the systems mentioned there are some very simple ones, but it&#8217;s possible, everything&#8217;s simple when you know. But when you&#8217;re dealing with dozens of sites, in Quebec, in France and internationally, it&#8217;s pretty frustrating, especially when you can compare with good systems.<\/p>\n\n<p>Each organization believes itself to be unique, indispensable, and that everything can be found on its website. The most anachronistic systems always justify their multiple validations on safety grounds. In fact, ridiculous questions like &#8220;what&#8217;s the name of your first mistress&#8221; are only there because the site is poorly designed and susceptible to fraud, so they compensate with dozens of questions to try and protect themselves from their site&#8217;s initial weakness.<\/p>\n\n<p>Those who have no competition like government services can afford to think like that. Companies need to get up to speed, and it&#8217;s by looking at international sites that we can see best practices.<\/p>\n\n<p>Avoid time-wasting, anachronistic sites if you can &#8211; there are some that are simple and pleasant to use.<\/p>\n\n<p>Jean-Pierre Mercier<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/challenge-action.com\/formations\/vente\/\">Our sales course<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/challenge-action.com\/formation-vente\/\">All our sales training courses<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s said that technology helps improve customer service &#8211; sometimes true, more often false.
