Editor's Notes
- The shift in mindset and technology is evolving to the 2020 customer experienceCustomers expect more, want to pay less, and have a voice that can reach millionsScary times for those who are not keeping an eye on the ballExciting times for those who have or are starting to embrace the challenges with technology and processes that are built around the “total” customer experience
- We’re all familiar with the customer life cycle, but I have added what the customers of today are expecting from you
- Talk through the statsThe 89% is up from 50% just 4 years ago
- What does it take for them to love you?
- Going back to the 80% and 8% stats, what does this tell us about the disconnect between where we think we are, and what the customers think,Let’s say you are doing well in your service, which I’m sure most of you are, in most cases the level of service we provide has not kept pace with the expectation of the consumer.
- These are a few of the top priorities in our business today, and as you can see I have taken the liberty of inserting a few new ones in gold.It is goal today to discuss why these should be a priority for you if they are not already, but also give you ideas as to how to get started
- By 2020 if your behind on this, things like Artificial Intelligence will use this information contained in knowledge bases to help customersWithout raising hands, how many of you would be ok with having information in your KB read to a customer today?If your answer is none of it, now’s the time to act.
- What’s one of easiest ways to start knowledge from customer interactions, use systems that help feed the monster
- Story of personal experience of building KB at Uniden, customer calls and emails had common thread, does anyone know what that thread was about?Owners manualsWithin a week I had personally loaded 300 articles with Owner Manual PDF attachedI saw reduction in calls and emails within days, customers want to serve themselves if they canOur contact center was not 24/7 but the articles with the manuals wereSo what are some secrets to success in building a knowledge base, or in some cases re-building it3 areas will give you the best results Customer Experience Materials you already have Subject Matter Experts- Hold contests- I gave away t-shirts with “Got Knowledge?” on them, like the Milk ads
- Just a show of hands, How many people live under the KPI dome?
- if you only measure within channels, you won’t even be aware that a customer problem with email, was different than a voice interaction. Design customer engagements across all channels using the same quality measurements
- measuring your existing experience is essential to building upon it. In addition, there are many other measures that need to be defined as part of any customer experience program.
- Here’s a quote for the day about Social media “Social media doesn’t create negativity, it puts a magnifying glass to it. “Now if these stats are not eye opening, not sure what wouldAccording the recent surveys, only 29% of you are even responding to tweetsI really love the 57% stats
- So we know the expectation level is high, but on the flip side, if social is done right, the customer turns into your best commercial and advocates your product to others
- The worst horror story of the social age is of course davecarrol who you all know had a problem with United not paying
- The most extreme example involved Bank of America's @BofA_Help account, which last month repeatedly responded to a vitriolic cycle of foreclosure criticism with robotic-sounding, "Please let us know if you need assistance," Chipotle faking that its account had been hacked to gain more followers.Be smart about your social responses
- The super agent is not the average rep, they must possess skills that you may not have in the center today, which is not to say you can’t create this super rep from current staffMarketing skillsUnderstand legal side of conversation, it’s in writingGen Y speak- tell story of LOL,Cassandra McSparin, who’s 23, knew a woman whose friend’s mother had died. The woman texted her friend: “I’m so sorry to hear about your mother passing away. LOL. Let me know if there’s anything I can do.” The woman thought LOL meant “Lots of Love”
- In case you need more proof that social is here to stay, take a look at some of these new executive titles
- Be proactive, you may not run out and create a social Lab like Delta Airlines, but if Social is not square in your radar, it should beAvoid auto replies or messages that sound impersonalRespond quicklyWhen you are successful in turning a situation around, ask the customer to share with othersThe biggest gap I see in Contact Centers today is a disconnect in channels and who owns them, more specifically, if a customer interacts using social, but then calls a few days later, does the agent know everything about the social interaction?
- They don’t understand how the technology works, they just know they can’t live without itMost Gen Y, recv about 88 texts per day and 70% check their phones every hourThese are the customers of 2020, these are your agents today
- Mobile customer service is equally if not more important than web. I don’t know about you, but when standing between my iMac and iPad, I gravitate to the pad. I don’t think this unique to just me, tablets have begun to out sell PC’s just this year. I think the 2020 estimate will lean heavily upon your organization to ability provide a feature rich user experience
- I like the visual of this, creative yes, how you want to appear to your customers, no
- Steps you can take today to make sure you have success tomorrow, or by 2020.
- Uncover processes that are highly manual, repetitive, that span multiple departments, and are based on defined steps. These are great targets for process automation Start Small – don’t turn this into an ERP implementation. Pick off the low hanging fruit, make mistakes, and improve quickly. You’ll be amazed how much progress you make. You’ll never be done – process improvement never ends. Keep on innovating
