Optimising your Customer Experience has never been so critical. In our new pandemic world, customer connections and genuine brand attachment is of paramount strategic importance.
Firstly, there is the embedding of CX as a culture, a philosophy, and a way of working. Gone are the days where CX was a point along a customer journey or something reserved for those solely in customer service roles. Today those sculpting competitive advantage are those leveraging CX in predictive, proactive ways.
Then there are the shifting values and expectations of the consumer. Prior to the pandemic, we had global behavioural changes relating to Instant, Personalisation, Authenticity and Digital Convenience. In our post-pandemic reality, some of these values have been further reinforced, while others like Attachment, Community and Autonomy have emerged. It is critical that contact centre experience reflects modern consumer values to stay relevant.
Lastly there is the future, the AI enabled solutions and the shift to voice as the main consumer-to-machine interface. CX delivery is facing exciting and opportunistic challenges where the human touch and technical excellence merge. This is where the silicon meets soul.
Good CX drives consumer peer-to-peer conversation. Give them a story to tell.
