Are you ready to implement social, mobile, or other emerging channels in 2014 but wonder how to get executive buy-in? We will show you how to leverage your big data and analytics to make your case for emerging channel implementation.
It's well known that superior customer service is a competitive differentiator; furthermore, ICMI research shows that one of the key factors in a satisfactory experience for a customer is the ability to use their preferred channel of service.
Innovative companies are combining historical and real-time data derived from their traditional and emerging contact center channels to create a detailed customer profile. With more accurate information about a customer’s history, preferences and behaviors, call centers are making smarter and faster decisions about people, processes and technology while delivering better and more consistent customer service. However, hype, compliance requirements and technical challenges present obstacles that must be overcome to achieve the desired customer experience infrastructure.
How do you make sure you’re separating hype from reality? We’ll help you sort it all out. Join us as ICMI community expert Lauren Ziskie and USAN expert Ian Hunter share best practices and tips.
During this webinar you will learn:
-
How to distinguish Big Data hype from reality
-
Real-world examples of how multichannel data and analytics have improved call center operations and customer experiences
-
New tools and technologies that contact centers of all sizes and industries can implement to improve efficiency and performance.
This is a "can't miss" hour for contact center managers preparing for the year ahead.
