The telephone is still the most utilized channel for customer care. However, today’s tech-savvy customers expect personalized service whether interacting with an IVR or live agent, or using a mobile phone or web channel. Forward-thinking companies are implementing multi-channel contact center strategies. However, this approach requires a more delicate balance of live agent service and self-service applications to suit a variety of customers’ need and preferences.
During this webinar, we will discuss:
- Metrics centered around the cost reduction - and customer satisfaction
-- aspects of balancing live service and self-service
- Incorporating outbound notification services, such as voice or SMS, as a key element
of the self-service component
- Best practices in the following areas:
- Customer Analytics: Understand customer preferences across service channels
and optimizing accordingly
- Speech vs. DTMF: What are common applications to speechify versus ones
that don’t really
require speech
- What types of applications to automate and when does it not make sense to do so
- The key benefits that your enterprise could gain by being first-to-market with multimodal applications
and services
After the presentation, the Webinar will be open for a live Q&A. Be sure to have your questions ready!
All attendees will get a complimentary copy of Ken Landoline’s white paper on the subject. Register today! |
