Internal Lazada report 2019) Linh: What alternative solutions can be applied to improve the current situation of Lazmall CS team? Ms Tu: Organizing teamwork activities or kind of competition to consolidate the relation in team Linh: Thank you so much Ms Tu for spending your valuable time with me to day for the interview Wish you a fruitful working day Ms Tu: You too, goodbye In-depth interview 4: Interviewer: Ho Hoang Viet Linh Interviewee: Ms Duong Thi Suong Title: Lazmall CS agent Age: 22 years old Working experience: More than years of experience in Lazada Customer service agent position Linh: Good morning First of all, I would like to thank you for spending time for the meeting with me today Could you please introduce about yourself (name, age, work experience) Ms Suong: Hello Ms Linh, my name is Duong Thi Suong and I‘m the Lazmall agent I have been working with Lazada for more than year Linh: What factors you think lead to the decrease in customer satisfaction of Lazmall CS team recently? Ms Suong: I think because customers have increase in demand When customers complain to us, they always compare that why Shopee and Tiki agents provide solution for them in this way but Lazada agents answer in other way They also compare the policy, the products and the price with other platforms They should be understood that different online platform has different policy and we just follow our policy Linh: What are your difficulties so far that lead to decrease in your performance and the whole Lazmall team's in recent month? 79 Ms Suong: I was forced to join Lazmall CS team I used to work in non-Lazmall team, and I was quite comfortable with that However, since I was picked to Lazmall, my performance tends to decrease We have to end up the call in hurry, and sometimes we avoid asking customers whether they still have and further issues, which is mandatory in the quality scorecard Hence, QA often minus our quality score when those call are audited Our team leader always urges us to idle all the time and we cannot let any customer waiting on queue for so long Linh: What you expect to be changed, in order to improve the current situation of Lazmall team? Ms Suong: I hope the process of Lazmall can be more supportive and faster for customers, otherwise, they will keep comparing and complaining In addition to that, I hope Lazmall team can co-operate with each other better, especially when there‘s someone new joining the team Linh: What solutions can you suggest to solve the above root cause, in order to increase customer satisfaction? Ms Suong: I suggest there should be some sharing session between the experienced agents to newbies like me Linh: What is your opinion about the impact of the above solution and what are the possible restrictions? Ms Suong: The benefit is newbies can improve the quality score and have chance to learn the way to deal with difficult customers from tenured agents The restriction is time, because we have to online with customers hours per day Linh: What alternative solutions can be applied to improve the current situation of Lazmall CS team? Ms Suong: I hope Lazmall team can co-operate with each other better, especially when there‘s someone new joining the team I remember months ago when I first join with Lazmall team, I find it difficult to get on with tenure agents We hardly talked to each other because they only communicate with some of their close colleagues Linh: Thank you so much Ms Suong for spending your valuable time with me to day for the interview Wish you a fruitful working day Ms Suong: Thank you, my pleasure for this sharing In-depth interview 5: Interviewer: Ho Hoang Viet Linh Interviewee: Ms Do Mai Quyen Title: Lazmall CS agent Age: 21 years old Working experience: Less than months of experience in Lazmall Customer service agent position Linh: Good morning First of all, I would like to thank you for spending time for the meeting with me today Could you please introduce about yourself (name, age, work experience) Ms Quyen: Hello Ms Linh, my name is Do Mai Quyen and I‘m a newbie of Lazmall agent I have been working with Lazada for just less than months Linh: What factors you think lead to the decrease in customer satisfaction of Lazmall CS team recently? Ms Quyen: The product quality, I think In Lazmall, more than 50% of the contact reason for complaint is about ―Problem with items received‖ and ―where is my order‖ The Lazmall products fulfilled by Lazada often miss freebies and this issue once happens, it will always happen systematically We also have a lot of issues with the logistic partner, which we have to handle more complaints from customers We really understand with customer that when they choose the Express service means they are willing to pay more for delivery with the demand of getting the goods for urgent purpose, otherwise, customer should have chosen Standard or Economy method Most customer complain with us about the ―Same day delivery‖, because it‘s already beyond they date that logistic partner commits It‘s not our fault and the irrational thing is we cannot push 3PL Linh: What are your difficulties so far that lead to decrease in your performance and the whole Lazmall team's in recent month? Ms Quyen: What makes me distracted the most is the noise we are hearing every day? Usually in the pick time of the day, when volume is high, the upper – level people, like team leader and Service level monitor are screaming loudly to urge us to more quickly We feel really stressed because of that noise, while we are very focusing in our task In addition to that, almost the trainings we can join related to the SOP of Lazmall training We hardly have 81 chance to join any soft-skill training of company Maybe because of the updates in knowledge is too much, so we have to prioritize the time for SOP training, to make sure we always deliver correct solution Otherwise, our quality score will be down seriously Linh: What you expect to be changed, in order to improve the current situation of Lazmall team? Ms Quyen: I expect Lazada can improve the product quality and the logistic partner in future In the meantime, I hope the noise issue can be solved soon, especially during campaign time Linh: What solutions can you suggest to solve the above root cause, in order to increase customer satisfaction? Ms Quyen: The standard operation process of Lazada is long, so it takes time for us to recall knowledge we were trained It would be great if we can have immediate support from our peer, as you know, although my Team leader does support to answer my question, but there are many times she is busy with her tasks, or maybe she joined meeting with the manager I hope everyone in the team can discuss more and share experience as well Linh: What is your opinion about the impact of the above solution and what are the possible restrictions? Ms Quyen: I believe Lazmall‘s quality score and CSAT score will increase, because we can give quick solution to customer with our peers‘ support Linh: What alternative solutions can be applied to improve the current situation of Lazmall CS team? Ms Quyen: At first, I was working as a non-Lazmall agent, and it was the time when there was lack of headcount among Lazmall, I was interviewed and forced to transfer to this channel The management team told me that it is promising over there, but in fact, I see more difficulties doing Lazmall channel This is the reason I‘m not happy working in this task Therefore, I suggest that the process of recruiting Lazmall agents should be changed, basing on both interest and performance of employees Linh: Thank you so much Ms Quyen for spending your valuable time with me to day for the interview Wish you a fruitful working day Ms Quyen: You are very welcome In-depth interview 6: Interviewer: Ho Hoang Viet Linh Interviewee: Ms Hoang Minh Anh Title: Lazmall customer Age: 25 years old Purchasing experience: More than years of experience buying products online Linh: Good morning First of all, I would like to thank you for spending time for the meeting with me today Could you please introduce about yourself (name, age, work experience) Ms Minh Anh: Good morning, my name is Hoang Minh Anh and I have more than years shopping online on various website, including Lazada Linh: Do you buy Lazmall products and what you expect when buying those products? Ms Minh Anh: Yes of course! Lazada advertises a lot of benefit for customers buying Lazmall products I expect an outstanding service quality However, when I have problem with the item received, the way that a Lazmall CS handle my issue is similar to the time I bought a normal product and contacted to non-Lazmall agents I did not see any special priority regarding the post-purchase support here‘ Linh: What you expect when contacting customer service staff of Lazmall? Ms Minh Anh: Faster resolution, less waiting time and nicer behavior Linh: What is your level of satisfaction when purchasing Lazmall product? And please give the reasons for your choice Ms Minh Anh: Well, maybe medium low! I chose Lazmall product because Lazada guarantee genuine quality and an express delivery Last time, I bought a Lazmall purse for my friend‘s birthday, but they did not deliver on time and it ruined my plan, such a terrible experience Linh: What is your feedback toward Lazmall customer service? Ms Minh Anh: Quite lack of responsibility in terms of solving customer‘s issue I feel like talking with a robot with no understanding and no empathy to customer The answer they provide is not in time, which makes me feel irritated 83 Linh: What is your suggestion to Lazmall customer service team to make customer happier? Ms Minh Anh: They staff should be more caring and spending more time to understand customers better, like agents in Tiki Apparently the Lazmall frontline staff is answering me like a robot, all of them answer similar to each other For example, when showing empathy to customer, every time I contact, they always say: ―We are so sorry for the inconvenience you are facing‖ I feel like they not really empathize with me Linh: Thank you so much Ms Minh Anh for spending your valuable time with me to day for the interview Wish you a fruitful working day Ms Minh Anh: Ok Thank you and have a good day too In-depth interview 7: Interviewer: Ho Hoang Viet Linh Interviewee: Ms Nguyen Thuc Hien Title: Lazmall customer Age: 27 years old Purchasing experience: More than years of experience buying products online Linh: Good morning First of all, I would like to thank you for spending time for the meeting with me today Could you please introduce about yourself (name, age, work experience) Ms Thuc Hien: Good morning, my name is Nguyen Thuc Hien and I have more than years shopping online on Lazada Linh: Do you buy Lazmall products and what you expect when buying those products? Ms Thuc Hien: Yes sometime I expect good quality However, when I purchased on Lazmall, the item still got problems like wrong delivered, broken or missing freebies This really got me lose hope about Lazmall products in general, because I know that I had to pay more, but the quality still not too outstanding and worthy Linh: What you expect when contacting customer service staff of Lazmall? Ms Thuc Hien: Well, I just hope they can understand my situation and resolve it at first place I not want to contact many time I not want to wait in long time for the resolution Linh: What is your level of satisfaction when purchasing Lazmall product? And please give the reasons for your choice Ms Thuc Hien: I‘m not satisfied when the products have problem because the return process is long and complicated for customer Linh: What is your feedback toward Lazmall customer service? Ms Thuc Hien: Bad customer service They promise me again and again and ask me to wait for 48 hours more than two times I am loosing trust to Lazmall service The CS staff was talking to me so robotic and unfriendly, like they are in rush Linh: What is your suggestion to Lazmall customer service team to make customer happier? Ms Thuc Hien: They staff should improve their softs-kill and should be friendlier to customers In addition to that, we expect an appropriate solution to Lazmall customers, provided by the staff in a professional manner Linh: Thank you so much Ms Thuc Hien for spending your valuable time with me to day for the interview Wish you a fruitful working day Ms Thuc Hien: Goodbye and have a happy day In-depth interview 8: Interviewer: Ho Hoang Viet Linh Interviewee: Mr Nguyen Duc Hung Title: Lazmall and non-Lazmall customer Age: 28 years old Purchasing experience: More than years of experience buying products online Linh: Good morning First of all, I would like to thank you for spending time for the meeting with me today Could you please introduce about yourself (name, age, work experience) Mr Hung: Good morning, my name is Nguyen Duc Hung and I have more than years shopping online on Lazada Linh: Do you buy Lazmall products and what you expect when buying those products? Mr Hung: Yes, of course Because I expect better product quality with more guarantee policy from Lazada Sometime I also buy non-Lazmall products as well 81 Linh: What you expect when contacting customer service staff of Lazmall? Mr Hung: I not understand why sometime I call Lazada, the staff asks for my issues and stated that they understood my issue, but they asked me to wait for them to transfer to Lazmall customer service staff It really takes my time and sometime, I decided to hang up the phone because of that I not care who will solve my problem, I just want to have the solution in time Linh: What is your level of satisfaction when purchasing Lazmall product? And please give the reasons for your choice Mr Hung: Not as good as my expectation Sometimes problems with item received still happened, and the delivery time is not always as promised Linh: What is your feedback toward Lazmall customer service?
