Customer satisfaction is a top priority and key differentiator for many customer-facing companies. Customers are more social and knowledgeable than ever before, and no company can afford to let their customer service systems lag behind those of their competition.
Aceyus Transfer Analysis Aids T-Mobile in Ongoing Quest to Maximize Customer Satisfaction
This widespread shift to customer-centric service has directly impacted T-Mobile, a leading wireless carrier already renowned for its excellent customer service. T-Mobile has long striven to provide an optimal customer experience, long before it became the buzzword it is today. Faced with greater competition, T-Mobiles response has been to differentiate by further enhancing experiences across the customer journey. This includes customer touch points like the contact center.
73% of consumers surveyed list valuing their time as the most important thing a company can do to provide them with good service.
Research shows that contact centers are no longer viewed as a cost center. In Deloittes 2015 Global Contact Center Survey, eighty-five percent of the organizations surveyed viewed the contact center experience as a competitive differentiator. Contact centers are often the first step in more complex interactions and are still a popular channel for service among older generations. Contact center enhancements are a wise investment as efficient customer-contact center interactions can improve customer retention and turn satisfied customers into promoters.
To maintain its competitive edge and respect its customer’s needs, T-Mobile recognized that it needed improved visibility into its contact center.
According to Forresters Trends 2016: The Future of Customer Service, seventy-three percent of consumers surveyed list valuing their time as the most important thing a company can do to provide them with good service.
