Missed call use case

Missed call customer feedback

Two numbers on the bill: one for satisfied, one for not satisfied. Customers rate you in a second, and unhappy ones get a call before they post a review.

How does missed call feedback work?

Missed call feedback gives customers a separate number for each rating, such as satisfied and not satisfied, printed on bills, receipts, delivery slips or service tags. The customer calls the number that matches their experience; the call is free, a thank-you message goes out, and not-satisfied calls alert a manager to call back.

Questions about Missed call customer feedback

How do I collect customer feedback with a missed call?

Print two or three numbers on bills or job cards, one per rating. Customers call the number that matches their experience. The number called records the rating, an SMS thanks them, and your team gets an alert for negative ratings so a manager can call back.

Can we link feedback to a specific bill or job?

Yes, through your system. When the call.missed webhook arrives, match the caller's mobile to their most recent bill or job card in your POS or service software. The rating is then stored against that transaction, branch and staff member.

Should we ask happy customers for an online review?

You can, once they have told you they are happy, by including a review link in the thank-you SMS. Do not ask only happy customers in a way that misrepresents your service, and never offer rewards for positive reviews, which platforms prohibit.

How is this better than an SMS or WhatsApp survey?

It needs no link, no typing and no data, and the customer acts while they still have the bill in hand, so response is usually higher. The trade-off is less detail. A WhatsApp follow-up with three tap options can collect the reason from unhappy customers.

Can we track feedback for each branch?

Yes. Either print different numbers for each branch, which needs no integration, or use one pair of numbers and match callers to the branch through your billing system. Weekly reports by branch show where to focus training.

What should happen after a not-satisfied call?

An immediate apology SMS with a named person and time, then a call from the manager the same day. Record what went wrong and how it was resolved in your CRM. Customers who get a quick, genuine call often return, which is the main point of the exercise.
