Our Local Government Clients:

Build a Customer Culture

Enable better Customer Interactions

Improve your ongoing Customer Service

77% of consumers say inefficient customer experiences detract from their quality of life. (Source www.prnewswire.com)

Do your Customers...

  • Feel like they have to follow up multiple times to find out what is happening with requests?
  • Perceive Council Staff as not being easy to deal with or inconsistent in their response?
  • See the end-to-end journey as disjointed rather than a seamless experience across Council?

Do your Staff...

  • Experience poor or non-existent communication between business units?
  • Lack clearly defined customer performance standards as they are not visible or don't exist?
  • Lack the tools to use complaints and satisfaction data and improve service issues?

Moving from customer service to customer experience isn't easy.

Transitioning from customer service to customer experience focus is complex.

It entails shifting from resolving individual interactions to holistically enhancing the entire journey. This demands reshaping processes, technology, and culture.

Achieving consistency, predicting needs, and embedding a customer-centric ethos poses challenges in both mindset and operations, making it more complex when you already have a day job.

You don't have to dothis alone.

We help the whole organisation understand the importance of Customer Experience and help you transform to seeing customer experience as a philosophy, not a department. And then understand what are the moments of truth in your customer experience and how to handle them.

By better understanding your customer's needs, we serve as your guide to deliver the most comprehensive customer strategy you've ever had.

And in the end, you'll know exactly what your customers want and what prioritised steps you need to take within your Council to achieve your goals.

Our Local Government Clients:

Over the past 13 years and over 200 projects we've built the expertise to help Local Governments understand precisely what their customers want, and we give them the confidence to deliver it.

Proto were really great at engaging with all different stakeholders throughout this process – from getting our operational staff on board to educating executives on why we were going through this process and how it would look.

I expected a long drawn out process working with you and the turnaround time was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. My expectations were exceeded in terms of how quickly we got through the process, without sacrificing anything.

I would highly recommend Proto Partners as they have an in-depth knowledge on how to improve customer experience and work very closely with internal teams to deliver a really positive result not only for customers but also for the teams.
