Behind the Seams: How Affinity’s Customer Service Team Champions Consistency and Care
Customer service today often feels automated and impersonal, focused on quick fixes instead of real relationships. At Affinity, it’s different. Led by Brittanie Stacy, Director of Implementation and Service, the team redefines what customer service excellence looks like in the uniform industry. With empathy, experience, and proactive communication, they turn every client interaction into a genuine partnership built on consistency and care.
Service That Makes You Feel Heard
According to Brittanie, “customer service means making every phone call, chat, or email feel resolved—and leaving the customer genuinely happy.” Affinity’s approach goes beyond quick fixes. Every client is supported with empathy and clear communication so they feel confident in both the process and the product. Each interaction becomes an opportunity to listen, respond, and strengthen trust. This human-first mindset transforms potential frustrations into positive, reassuring experiences that make customers feel truly valued.
Depth in Experience
One aspect that sets Affinity’s service apart is the incredible experience of the team itself. The support staff at Affinity has an average tenure of 12 years with the company (and 18 years in customer-facing roles) – a level of stability almost unheard of in the industry. (For context, typical call center agents average barely a year in their jobs.) This depth of experience means that when you reach out, you’re speaking with someone who has likely encountered your issue before and can address it immediately. They carry institutional wisdom that allows them to handle everything from nuanced uniform fit advice to urgent order adjustments on the spot, without needing to transfer you elsewhere. This continuity builds trust; clients often find they’re talking to a familiar representative who knows their account history, leading to faster resolutions and a personal touch that only a long-tenured team can provide.
What truly sets Affinity apart is the experience of its support team. The average tenure is 12 years at Affinity, and nearly 18 years in customer-facing roles. That kind of expertise is rare in any industry. It means clients connect with people who’ve likely solved similar challenges before and can address them immediately. Whether it’s uniform fit guidance or an urgent order update, the team’s deep knowledge enables quick, accurate solutions without transfers or delays. Clients also appreciate the continuity, often speaking with familiar representatives who already understand their account, creating a faster, more personal experience every time.
Flexible, Consistent Support
Some clients with large or complex programs prefer dedicated representatives, but most benefit from Affinity’s unified support model. Every team member is cross-trained across all aspects of the service, ensuring that any representative can confidently handle any inquiry.
Key advantages of this approach include:
• No hand-offs: One person can resolve your issue end-to-end—no transfers or multiple calls.
• Consistent experience: Each representative follows the same high standards, ensuring quality and continuity across every touchpoint.
• Faster resolutions: Cross-training allows for more first-contact resolution, reducing wait times and eliminating unnecessary escalations.
The result is a seamless, reliable experience. No matter who answers your call, you’ll receive expert, consistent support from start to finish.
Proactive Problem Solvers
Affinity’s customer service team doesn’t just solve problems—they prevent them. As Brittanie explains, “Our team doesn’t just take calls; they help make us better.” Each interaction is viewed as an opportunity to learn and improve.
When recurring questions or issues arise—like confusion around sizing charts or online ordering—the team flags them for leadership and suggests practical improvements. These insights often lead to product updates, better guides, or smoother ordering experiences. This proactive approach ensures customer feedback drives real change, making Affinity more responsive and effective over time. Clients know their voices matter, and that’s what builds lasting trust.
Why It Matters
At Affinity, customer service is a strategic advantage, not an afterthought. In today’s market, customer experience defines brand loyalty. Research shows that customer-centric companies are up to 60% more profitable, while nearly half of consumers switch brands after a single bad experience.
Brittanie and her team transform service into a true differentiator. With a foundation of consistency, empathy, and expertise, they ensure every client interaction builds trust and partnership. It’s more than resolving issues; it’s about reinforcing confidence and care at every step. In a world where support often feels rushed or scripted, Affinity proves that doing it differently truly makes a difference.
