Wireless Purchase Experience Customer Satisfaction Increases Across the Board, J.D. Power Finds

COSTA MESA, Calif., Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Customer satisfaction has increased among all sales channels since last year, according to the J.D. Power 2019 U.S. Wireless Purchase Experience Full-Service Performance Study^SM—Volume 1 and the J.D. Power 2019 U.S. Wireless Purchase Experience Non-Contract Performance Study^SM—Volume 1, released today. Specifically, the largest customer satisfaction improvement is with phone sales representatives.

"Wireless customers calling carriers' sales representatives have purchase intent; having knowledgeable reps and decreased hold times has a real measurable effect on both satisfaction and sales made," said Ian Greenblatt, Managing Director at J.D. Power. "If these companies can maintain a focus on customer care, satisfaction can only continue to improve."
