Today, companies are increasingly adopting new strategies to improve the customer experience and profitability while lowering operational costs. Desktop automation is one such strategy, as it removes the barrier that the myriad of existing applications can present to a call center agent trying to deliver exceptional customer service, and thus empowers agents to provide faster, more personalized service to every customer, all while increasing operational efficiency.

The IVR experience (“press 1 for this… press 2 for that…”) has long been part of the contact center. Although it serves an important purpose, it is universally detested. Many people see chatbots as a natural replacement for the core functions of the IVR. Sorry, but I’m afraid this is going to be one of those “rain on the parade” posts. First, it’s not clear when or to what extent that will happen.

We all have habits, good and bad. Few of us remember how they formed. Few of us know how to change them—especially those bad ones. However, understanding how habits develop and their influence on our behavior can be a powerful tool for tuning up our Customer Experience. The scientific definition of a habit is anytime your mind prepares you to respond in a certain way based on some environmental cues or stimuli.

B2B Voice-of-the-Customer: Integrating Decision Influencers’ Views Lynn Hunsaker. Picture this: in deciding whether to rebuy from your company, the customer’s general manager and purchasing agent are neutral, the end-users are supportive, the safety department gives their approval, but the facilities manager rejects it. Your company loses the sale. Because your team was focused on the end-users and general manager, everything looked like it was on-track for renewal, yet one influencer of the buy

In many companies, customer experience is measured, but the results are not actionable. The most widely used customer experience metric NPS (check what Net Promoter Score is about and how to use it for your company) actually gives all the necessary ingredients for the actionability. When customers are asked not only the score but also why they gave that score, they provide very useful information about the drivers of satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

Brands used to look for a commerce platform that could do everything. But over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, so they added, and added, and added— and now it's essential that these vendors work well together. That’s composable, and it’s important to get it right. Customers and your board expect you to be in new channels and to adapt quickly to market change.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

On any given day, contact centers run the risk of experiencing a surge in call volume. That risk is amplified when unexpected events like poor weather, high agent absenteeism, or technical issues occur. When these things happen, call centers must be prepared to address customer needs in a timely and courteous way, despite the challenging situation. News of poor customer service reaches more than twice as many ears as praise for good service, so reducing the number of negative interactions is i

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Reflecting on that decision one year later, Ray says he left because there was “too much focus on text-based teaching.” The high cost of college was also a factor, he said.
