Constant engagement is key to creating a quality, meaningfully improved customer experience (CX). And for banks especially, the quality of the experiences customers have with a brand is the key factor in determining a customer’s longevity and willingness to maintain a relationship with a company. Banks can and should engage with customers via CX surveys and other feedback methods to see what customers love about the experience and what might need a little tweaking.

Making the leap from engaging with customers and agents via text and voice, to visual and live video is a big step. While COVID introduced technology laggards to Zoom, bringing instant, live video to the mainstream. The impact of the jump from text and voice to video, is transformative, providing context and clarity to every interaction. However, not every visual engagement provider offers the ideal solutions to your needs.

One of the first big workforce catchphrases to go viral after the onset of the pandemic was “The Great Resignation,” as employees began to reevaluate their careers and leave their jobs in record numbers. This max exodus of talent may be slowing down a bit, but it’s far from over. More than two years later, even with the threat of a recession looming in the background, companies continue to struggle with finding talent to fill open positions.

We’ve all had experiences where we can anticipate what’s coming. So, today we are going to talk about intuition. But you knew that already, didn’t you? Intuition might be more valued in business than analysis. Many of us want a quick answer we can trust from somebody who would know. Some proponents of intuition suggest that we should rely on our intuition more, that our guts are very wise, and that our lizard brain is very well attuned to what’s happening.

It’s every company’s dream to have loyal, lifelong customers. In order to get this, you need to understand what your customers want, how they view your brand, and how they feel about your products and/or services. To put it simply, you need to understand their entire customer experience, from beginning to end. One way to do this is through customer satisfaction surveys.

When it comes to customer experience transformation, the discussion tends to focus on faster and more efficient digital channels. But unless brands fully integrate voice into customer journeys, it’s hard to claim that they provide a fully joined-up customer experience. Despite the rush to digital, voice remains the most-used service channel – particularly for complex issues.

Intuition is a concept that plays a major role in decision-making for all humans. Intuition is the way we can “know” things without using our reasoning. It is based on our instincts and experiences, and our need to find patterns for things in our lives. Unfortunately, intuition isn’t always right. Knowing when intuition could be correct and when it might not be is a critical skill for any of us, particularly in business.

There is something to be said about how vital it is to leverage market research to understand your non-buyers so you can convert them into customers. But focusing on how to improve customer retention is just as important, if not more. It is more profitable to invest in existing customers, especially since acquiring a new customer is anywhere from five to 25 times more expensive than retaining an existing one.

Here’s an ideal scenario, an online user interacts with a live chat and inquires about something. Then you or a chatbot answers that inquiry. Finally, you ask in return if the user was satisfied with the service you provided, and the user happily takes the time to chat more and explain their feedback. Here’s the reality, gathering online feedback is not as easy as it may seem.

Smartphones are ubiquitous. Fully 85% of American adults own at least one smartphone, according to Pew Research. About three in 10 adults under age 30 say they are dependent on their smartphones, while 44% of 18-49 year olds go online almost constantly. . This is both great news and not so great news for marketers: Great in that consumers are engaged and ready for outreach via SMS and social apps; but not so great in that there are so many other distractions vying for your customers’ attention.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
