Omni-channel customer service is not an option. More than two-thirds of shoppers are considered omni-channel consumers, according to PwC's holiday shopping forecast. Your customers want to access your brand wherever they are—whether it’s researching products and services on your website, downloading deals via a mobile app, flipping through a catalog, engaging on social media, or visiting your brick-and-mortar store. While it can be challenging to implement omni-channel customer service, the rewards are worth it, such as ROI, consumer insights, and increased sales.
As we head into the holiday season and a new year, join our panel of experts and us to learn how to provide a consistent, complementary journey for consumers. By 2017, 50 percent of all U.S. retail sales will be omni-channel, according to Forrester Research. Are you ready to capture these customers and leave your competitors behind? This live, one-hour webinar will help prepare your brand as we discuss:
· All the benefits of omni-channel customer service
· Obstacles to keeping up with the consumer’s shopping journey
· Technology hurdles that can hinder your omni-channel customer service
· Real-life success stories of brands providing seamless customer service

16. What have I learned?
• Social media is unfamiliar and scary … OR end to end customer support is archaic and scary
• Its scary at the top because of the consequences of failure - Up here, you get fired.
• The support budgets are fixed - so investment that benefits the Social puppy hurts the big dogs
• The fear of Social Media is irrational & often fueled by Social Media’s tangential objectives

18. Understand your line manager’s KPIs
Align your strategy to deliver against them
Remove ALL ambiguity from business cases
Start with the quickest win
Deliver ROI
Negotiate reinvestment of ROI into Social
Pick off remaining activities in order of value
