VoIP Developer Feature: TeleFaction Taps Aculab to Deliver Customer Measurement Tools
Measuring customer satisfaction is no easy task. TeleFaction, a Danish-based provider of customer behavior management solutions, knows that firsthand. While many businesses rely on technology for automated features, too much emphasis on it can harm a relationship between a company and its clients.
With this in mind, TeleFaction, a company that helps large organizations drive growth and increase profitability through improved customer loyalty, uses advanced technology that gathers and measures information from multiple customer contact points. The data helps businesses improve sales by gauging customer satisfaction, brand loyalty, sales efficiency, and brand image, among other factors. |
