In March Robert was a keynote speaker at the Customer Experience Summit, a fantastic event organised by Nuance and held at Renaissance St Pancras. It brought together leaders in Customer Experience to discuss the ever evolving customer service landscape, with a focus on IVR, mobile and web channels.
At this years’ summit we’re going to hear how each of the following five imperatives for effortless self-service plays a key role in creating the secret sauce for customer loyalty:
Intuitive first point of contact: Make the self-service experience natural and effortless, greeting consumers with a simple “How can I help you?”
Turn self-service into a conversation: Infuse your self-service interactions with the warmth and ease of a human encounter, understanding their intent, not just their words.
Get personal and be helpful: Recognize your customers and engage with them according to their preferences – letting them know they are important.
Anticipate their needs: Know what your customer may want and provide it when and how they need it.
Be consistent across channels: Give customers choices in how to interact with you and connect these interactions into a seamless conversation.
