Support has changed in innumerable ways, from the emergence of call centers ( yes, phones were novel once ) to the shift to social media. But one thing has not: what customers want. As consumers ourselves, we’re all too familiar with what our customers want – a convenient and personalized support experience. There’s little more frustrating than finding out you’re ticket #372876 or being subjected to Cisco’s “Opus No. 1,” the anthem of waiting on hold.

What A Face Mask Can Do for Customer Segmentation. Everyone has an opinion about face masks. Some think they help stop the spread of COVID-19; some think they are unnecessary and a nuisance; others fall somewhere in between. However, what you probably didn’t know about face masks is they can help you customize moments of your Customer Experience so that no matter what opinion your customer has, they feel like you understand them.

Question: How does speech analytics perform trend analysis? Isn’t it just counting how often words are used? Answer: Trend analysis in interaction (speech and text) analytics solutions provides deeper insights than word count frequency. At its most basic, trend analysis is designed to allow users to define “things” they know to look for in voice and text-based interactions, which are then surfaced by the application.

At first, customer success doesn’t seem like a role that would be data heavy. After all, isn’t customer sentiment and feeling a better indicator of success? While customer sentiment is, of course, important, it’s amazing how many metrics CSMs, customer success leaders, and executives rely on to measure and gauge the health of customer accounts. In many cases, the same SaaS usage metrics that sales and product teams use also apply in customer situations.

They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels.

Should you reward success? Rewarding success is the obvious thing to do. Slaps on the back, public praise, bonuses and honours come easily to us. People expect to be rewarded for good performance. If you reward success then people will strive to give you more of it. Or so the logic goes. It isn’t quite that straightforward. If you play a high stakes game with big bonuses then beware of the downsides : People won’t try anything new, for fear it will go wrong.
