Customer & Client Services
A customer-centric approach to business is central to business succeeding in today’s highly competitive landscape and the concept of a “Customer 360” is essential.
A 360-degree view onto customers should be the cornerstone of a comprehensive approach to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and a priority for your Customer Experience (CX) strategy. This involves constructing a view onto data which shows all the ways that a business has interacted with their prospects, customers or clients by aggregating data from all available touchpoints into a Single View of the Customer.
With a Customer 360 approach, organisations get a better understanding of their customers’ needs, preferences, behaviours and can combine this with any relevant influences on the business relationship. With data available for decision making, you are empowered to drive customer satisfaction and business growth by better understanding how to be the business your customers want you to be.
Rich Data for Increasing Share of Customer Wallet: In the modern customer service landscape, access to rich data is invaluable.
By improvising internal understandings of customers – whether in terms of purchase history or the personal preferences they express – you’ll be able to gain insights that allow you to create tailored offers and campaigns as well as define tactics and strategies for account management and sales planning. A customer centric and data-driven approach allows you to better anticipate needs, identify cross-sell and upsell opportunities, boost revenue and drive customer satisfaction.
A CRM that’s been implemented with a Customer 360 mindset ensures that an agent’s interface is optimised to provide a holistic view of each contact and a clear view onto the tasks that they need to prioritise. A data rich customer focussed interface allows agents to work on tasks efficiently and effectively while allowing them to conduct each interaction in a way that is empathetic to the situation of the person that they are working with.
Business Process Automation is the game-changer in modern CRM. Accelerated response times mean better experiences, and less ‘busy-work’ for customer facing teams so they can spend more time with customers. Business Process Automation also provides an opportunity to eliminate human errors, eradicate unnecessary or repetitive tasks and allow human agents to add value that enrich a customer’s experience.
- Save time and resources with faster, more efficient customer service
- Minimises the risk of errors and reduce time-consuming administration
- Address customer issues with a high degree of precision
For a business to be agile and responsive it needs to ensure that it is coordinated. Seamless integration which facilitates mission-critical information sharing is therefore an essential consideration for effective CRM.
Connecting CX platforms with ERP provides limitless opportunities to strike balances between available stock and sales promotions. Consider how real-time inventory and manufacturing information could help to inform complex sales cycles that rely on sophisticated configure, price and quote (CPQ) functionality.
The ability to connect CRM with these backend systems is also instrumental in delivering efficient and effective customer service. Real-time accuracy also fosters a sense of reliability and trust – disconnected systems can by contrast result in confusion and churn.
Making a customer portal or self-service website a fundamental component of your customer service strategies is now table stakes for convenient business. Self-service empowers your customers to find answers and resolve issues when and where they want.
Offering self-service options like FAQs, knowledge bases, chatbots, and interactive tutorials not only enhances the customer experience but also reduces the strain on support teams by providing a convenient, 24/7 support option. Your customers will appreciate the flexibility they get from instant access to information while your business benefits from reduced support ticket volumes.
- Streamline your support operations and save costs
- Focus human resources on more complex and high-value interactions
- Elevating overall service quality and customer satisfaction
