He said the company has always prioritised customer experience as it is a key differentiator in a hyper-competitive market.
“We continue to record a high touch point net promoter score of +68, thanks to the loyalty of our customers and their satisfaction with our products and services,” he said in Maxis’s 2023 annual report.
Goh said Maxis has improved its Maxis and Hotlink Apps enabling features such as plan upgrades, device purchases, roaming passes, and credit top-ups to be completed with as few clicks as possible.
He said it will also focus on digitalising customer interactions to ensure faster, more accessible and reliable service and is confident that Maxis will strengthen its position as Malaysia’s leading integrated telco.
