The 'Loop of Death': Trapping Customers
What is it?
We've all been there. You ask a bot a question, it gives a wrong answer, and asks 'Did that help?'. You say 'No'. It asks the same question again. This is the 'Loop of Death'.Why it destroys value
This is the fastest way to turn a neutral customer into a hostile one. It signals that you don't care about their time, only about deflecting costs.How to Avoid It:
- The Rule of Two: Configure your bot so that if it fails to understand or resolve the issue after two attempts, it automatically offers a 'Chat with Human' or 'Leave a Message' button.
- Always Offer an Exit: Never hide the contact form. A determined customer will find a way to contact you (usually by leaving a 1-star review on Google).
