Driving Revenue, Customer Loyalty, and Retention via a Modern Contact Center

Many organizations simply are not getting the most out of their contact centers. Under-supported and under-motivated agents, outdated processes and procedures, and under-powered and inflexible technology can be significant impediments to delivering a great experience, negatively affecting customer satisfaction and loyalty along with revenue generation. Notably, Microsoft research found that on a global basis, 96% of consumers say customer service is an important factor in their choice of loyalty to a brand.

Furthermore, today’s customers, equipped with smartphones and tablets with reliable, always-on internet connections, often prefer to connect with organizations not solely through voice, but also via SMS (texting), mobile apps, social media, and websites, among other ways. These customers are far less willing to engage with companies that are unwilling to meet them on their terms or schedules, and they will seek out other options that are more flexible and responsive to their needs.

To truly delivery an excellent and consistent CX, an organization must assess its current policies and procedures, listen to and integrate feedback from customers, identify the level of service it wants to provide, and then implement specific operational and behavioral changes, supported by investment into a modern cloud-based contact center platform that can adapt to ever-changing conditions.
