This week, we feature an article by Manpreet Chawla, senior digital marketing specialist at Knowmax, a knowledge base management solution for enterprises looking to provide exceptional customer experience to their customers via enhanced agent satisfaction. He shares how to create excellent customer experiences at every stage of the customer journey.
Every organization strives to create a customer experience strategy that provides it a competitive edge in the market and delivers maximum value and revenue for the business. Companies that take a people-centric approach to succeed in achieving greater profits and higher brand value in the long term.
Today, customers do not remember the prices they paid for a particular product as much as they remember the purchase experience. And given the endless options, they have today, creating valuable experiences is the only way businesses can truly succeed.
The idea behind building a great customer experience strategy is to achieve higher business growth through increased customer satisfaction. And customer satisfaction increases when they feel valued each time they interact with a brand and receive the same high-quality support at all times.
Thus, to maximize customer satisfaction, it is essential to have a holistic view of customer journeys and elevate experiences at every possible point of interaction.
As any business organization begins to expand its operations, serving every customer on a personal scale becomes difficult. And this is only natural, given the limits customer support representatives have with both time and energy. The key then is to go back to the starting point, which is your customers, take an extensive view of their needs, expectations, and grievances, and implement a solution that can fundamentally address these challenges.
Automating customer services is the way forward. It can ensure your customers get their answers at the right time and support teams function more effectively, building a truly people-centric organization. The idea is to not look at technology as a replacement for human potential but as a supplement to boost the efficiency of human resources.
Customer service automation increases customer satisfaction by enhancing the self-service capabilities of your organization. When customers have minor problems, they may feel more comfortable reading a short article instead of getting on a call with a support agent to find the answer. Knowledge base articles and FAQs should be drafted in a language that is easy for customers to grasp, along with the need to be updated timely to ensure customers receive the support they expect.
A big challenge faced by customer service teams is the inability to find the correct information at the right time. This is because much of the data is fragmented in different files and formats, and by the time an agent can collect the information, a lot of time is already gone by, resulting in a poor customer service experience. To deliver meaningful experiences to customers, you must ensure that all the information that people need in your organization is readily available and accessible at all times.
Implementing Knowledge management for customer experience can help you deal with your complex CX challenges by preventing data silos and organizing all information in one place. A centralized DIY knowledge base makes it easy for both your customer support teams and customers to find the information they need. Using semantic search, an AI-powered Knowledge base enhances the discovery of Knowledge even when the user query is misspelled as it understands the intent of the search.
As customer expectations rise, you should ensure that customer support teams are equipped with upgraded support tools to meet their targets effectively. Not all customer problems can be resolved with the information contained in long text documents. Moreover, it is impossible to remember how a particular customer query was fixed at a point in time since multiple steps are involved. The key then is to standardize the ways customer support representatives approach customer queries to avoid inconsistency in the resolution process.
Upgraded call center scripting with AI empowers agents to communicate effectively with customers. An AI-enabled customer support tool, Cognitive Decision Trees, guides agents with the next best action while troubleshooting customer problems.
Not only do Cognitive Decision Trees enable agents to solve more support tickets, but they also ensure that all the agents follow all the steps in the correct order, resulting in improved SOP adherence.
A great Customer experience strategy depends on how easy you could make it for your customers to complete their purchases, answer their questions and avail your customer support services. To delight customers, it is crucial to track their journey and ensure seamless experiences.
A customer may choose to switch between channels for a particular issue. Providing an integrated channel approach connects all the platforms and ensures customers experience a seamless transition across platforms. A customer switching from a chatbot to a phone call would not be required to repeat the problem from scratch as the agent receives all the information from where the customer left.
Providing omnichannel customer support ensures customers receive adequate and consistent quality support throughout their journey, irrespective of the platform they use.
It is essential to learn from the experiences of customer support agents and provide them with convenient ways to share their concerns. Agent feedback provides actionable insights, helping enhance the visibility of the most engaging content and adding new information timely. The quality of customer support services improves significantly when people are encouraged to become active participants in the decision-making process.
A great customer experience strategy depends on the ability to collect, organize, manage and share knowledge within and outside the organization. If employees are well aware and find it easy to access information, they feel more confident about their work and deliver adequate support to customers.
The availability of efficient and upgraded customer support tools improves the ways people engage with data in an organization, helping support teams to share meaningful experiences with customers.
