I was fortunate to be invited to this year's Retail Symposium, hosted by Customer Experience Foundation. It was one of the most informative events I've attended. The most striking success stories were shared by retail brands who've blended machine learning with human ingenuity to craft faster, more accurate, more personalised and smoother customer experiences across channels. I left, increasingly convinced, that digital assistants, co-pilots and bots are as valuable an asset to a high-calibre CX Agent as ears, a voice and empathy. HGS - Hinduja Global Solutions was recently applauded by Gartner (ranking us a #BPO Magic Quadrant Leader), for our "capability to deploy AI-enabled self-service". If an AI-accelerated CX is part of your vision for excellence, let's talk about real use cases delivered through AI for HGS clients. #CX, #intelligentautomation @grahamswain, @matthewhanley, @khevirjettoo, @anilnair

With all the focus on CX, don't forget the importance of good ole customer SERVICE. To deliver it, many of you are using contact centres (remember when we called them "Call Centres"??). There, good service is characterized by - the ease of resolving issues - the accessibility of information - the integration of communication channels so that every interaction contributes to a cohesive resolution process. Expectations have elevated. Customers don't just want solutions. They want personalized understanding and engagement. We've all heard, "Your call is being recorded for quality purposes" but what the hell happens with those recordings?? How are they used? Well, AI has just joined the chat: "Conversational intelligence enables organizations to understand the multiple reasons behind a customer’s call, which in turn helps in resolving issues more effectively and proactively sharing information across the organization to prevent future frustrations." Lotta good stuff here. And if you need help, just reach out to @Wilma Chan and her colleagues at IntouchCX. They're revolutionizing the global customer experience across all industries, delivering value-driven CX management, digital engagement, and AI and automation solutions to the world’s best-known brands.

Customer service can never be an afterthought. Gartner finds that 80% of organizations today are relying on it to stand out from the competition — and today’s customers themselves are making it clear that they prioritize stellar service and customized experiences to stay loyal. We owe those customers more than the bare minimum. Excellent CS starts with going above and beyond, understanding exactly what target customers and clients want from the services they receive (and how we’re uniquely positioned to offer them). Meeting those shifting demands will be no easy task. This year, it’s clear that personalization is a priority, offering experiences that not only deliver the intended product or service, but cater to specific situations without compromising quality. As Brad Birnbaum points out here, tech such as AI will make this easier than ever, allowing us to pinpoint these trends and expectations and prepare far ahead of time. Let’s discuss: what other customer trends have you noticed in 2024? What solutions can we pursue to meet those trends? #CustomerService #CX #CustomerExperience #CustomerTrends

Data-Driven CX: Turning Insights into Action In the world of customer experience (CX), data is the compass that guides us to better decision-making. Over the past 20 years, leveraging data has been a game-changer, enabling us to understand our customers deeply, identify pain points, and drive meaningful improvements. 📊✨ Here’s how harnessing the power of data has transformed our CX strategies: 1. Predicting Customer Needs and Behaviors 🔮 By analyzing customer data, we can anticipate their needs and preferences. This proactive approach allows us to tailor our services, offer personalized experiences, and exceed customer expectations. For instance, using predictive analytics, we identified patterns that helped us reduce call abandonment rates by 50%. 2. Identifying and Addressing Pain Points 🚨 Data reveals where customers face challenges, enabling us to take targeted actions. By closely monitoring feedback and interaction data, we pinpointed areas of friction and implemented solutions that significantly improved our NPS by 28% and CSAT by 22%. 3. Measuring the Impact of Initiatives 📈 Data-driven decision-making involves continuous measurement and analysis. By tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as customer satisfaction, resolution times, and service quality, we ensure that our initiatives are effective and adjust strategies as needed. This approach led to a $1.5M operational savings and a 25% reduction in cost per contact. 4. Enhancing Operational Efficiency ⚙️ Operational efficiency is critical in delivering superior CX. By leveraging data to streamline processes and optimize resources, we achieved substantial improvements in service delivery. Data insights helped us secure a $5M investment in new customer service technology, enhancing our capabilities and efficiency. 5. Driving Continuous Improvement 🛠️ The journey of CX excellence is ongoing. By maintaining a data-driven culture, we foster continuous improvement. Regularly reviewing customer feedback and performance metrics allows us to implement quick wins and long-term strategies, ensuring we stay ahead of customer needs and industry trends. 6. Empowering Teams with Data 📊 Equipping our teams with the right data tools and insights empowers them to make informed decisions. Training employees to interpret and use data in their daily operations enhances their ability to provide exceptional customer service. Results That Speak Volumes 🗣️ One of our proudest achievements was recovering $12M in postage refunds, driven by meticulous data analysis and strategic action. This success story underscores the transformative power of data in driving business outcomes and customer satisfaction. In today’s competitive landscape, data is not just a tool – it’s a strategic asset. Embrace data-driven decision-making, and watch your customer experience thrive. #DataAnalytics #CustomerExperience #CX #DataDriven #Leadership #Innovation #ContinuousImprovement
