Here’s a common scenario you know well.

A customer is upset about a delayed feature that you have almost no information about.

Or worse, they mention a quote from Sales that catches you completely off guard. Sounds familiar?

Recent studies show that miscommunication costs companies $37 billion annually in the US and UK alone.

And 86% of employees and executives attribute workplace failures to a lack of collaboration and ineffective communication.

We've all been there—who has never discovered a key customer conversation that happened without you being in the loop?

It's not just embarrassing.

It damages your credibility and ability to drive success for your customers.


The Hidden Cost of Staying Disconnected

When CS teams operate in the dark, the impact is not just on your team but on the entire organization.

Research shows that employees spend an average of 20% of their workweek searching for internal information or tracking down colleagues.

The costs include:

  • Customer trust erosion when CS appears uninformed

  • Strategic opportunities missed due to delayed information

  • Team morale down, with 68% of the workforce feeling disconnected due to communication failures

  • Productivity loss exceeding $500,000 annually for a company of 100 employees

Meanwhile, organizations with effective communication are 50% more likely to have lower employee turnover rates.

As Clare Muscutt, founder of Women in CX, says: "Building a good customer experience does not happen by accident. It happens by design".
