Stella Connect by Medallia’s Integration with Snappy Gifts Makes Rewarding Agents a Snap

New partnership makes it easy to recognize, motivate, and engage customer service agents — expanding the functionality of Medallia Contact Center Suite

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., – Dec. 22, 2021 – Medallia, Inc., the global leader in customer and employee experience, announced today a new integration with its Contact Center Suite that makes it easy for companies to reward customer service agents. Stella Connect by Medallia, the company’s engagement and performance management solution for contact center agents, now offers a seamless integration with Snappy Gifts, an incentive rewards platform for sending employee gifts to celebrate holidays, work anniversaries, performance milestones, and birthdays. 

Expanding upon the Medallia Contact Center Suite and Stella Connect’s range of agent engagement tools, the integration allows brands to launch a rewards program for their customer service agents directly within Stella Connect.

The combined offering makes it easy for customers who have a great experience with a customer service agent to provide feedback and vote for agents to receive a reward from their employer in recognition of their amazing performance immediately following a service interaction. Once an agent receives enough votes, their manager can enable the perk, allowing the agents to pick their preferred gift while Snappy takes care of the fulfillment and logistics. With just a few clicks, companies can show agents how much they appreciate their hard work, while increasing employee motivation and engagement.

“Times have changed, and agent recognition has too. Repetitive rewards and e-gift cards don’t make your customer service agents feel recognized. Instead we create gifting delight by combining a digital unwrapping experience with a highly curated catalog of gifts for agents to choose from,” said Jake Shinder, Head of Technology Partnerships, at Snappy Gifts. “Best of all, managers can spend less time managing manual fulfillment of rewards and more time celebrating their teams’ successes.”

“When customers provide brands feedback about their exceptional experience, rewarding your employee with a recognition is a great way to boost your company’s culture and motivate agents to deliver exceptional customer experiences,” said Sarika Khanna, Medallia’s Chief Product Officer. “Partnerships with out-of-the-box integrations like Snappy Gifts provide our customers a robust ecosystem of pre-built solutions to choose from.”

Bringing together two great resources for motivating and incentivizing team members, this Stella Connect-Snappy Gifts integration will allow brands to:

  • Let customers take an active role in rewarding and encouraging great customer service
  • Let agents choose their reward without operational hassles
  • Managers can fulfill gifts on demand from their Stella Connect account

The Snappy Gifts for Stella Connect by Medallia integration is available now. For more information, visit the Snappy Gifts and Stella Connect partner page: https://info.stellaconnect.com/request-product-demonstration-snappy

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
