We are living in the business era, and today, customers are king, they expect seamless interactions ASAP whenever they reach out to any business, across various channels. This prominent shift towards omnichannel communication has brought not only challenges but also opportunities for businesses and companies. One of those opportunities lies in leveraging Genesys Cloud CX with your business, a powerful omnichannel platform, to manage the flow of messages of your customers from different channels and convert them into clients effectively in a jiffy.
There are many challenges when you use any traditional approach to communicate with your potential customers. The most common challenges are listed below.
Scenario 1: A customer initiates an inquiry about a product/service on your website's chat support. The conversation gets complex, and the customer decides to make a call to the customer service hotline for a more detailed discussion. The hotline call agent on the phone is unaware of the previous chat conversation, leading to repetition of information and frustration for the customer.
Scenario 2: A customer reaches out through social media to inquire about a product or service. The social media agent responds promptly and provides the required initial information. But, the customer has some follow-up questions and decides to send an email. Again, the email response comes from a different (Email support) agent who is unaware of the conversation being done on social media, causing confusion and frustration for the customer.
Customer Dissatisfaction: Customers are the king, and they expect seamless transitions between channels and personalized interactions. When they encounter fragmented experiences, as we saw in the above two scenarios, they are most likely to be dissatisfied with the service provided.
Negative Brand Perception: A fragmented customer experience can spoil your brand's reputation. Customers who experience communication difficulties may share their frustrations on social media or review platforms, potentially deterring others from engaging with your brand.
Now the question is, how to address this fragmented customer experience problem?
With Genesys Cloud CX, businesses can unify communication channels, ensuring that customer interactions are seamlessly connected across channels, and empower agents to optimize customer inquiry management.
The platform provides agents with a complete view of customer interactions, enables them to optimize customer flow management and allows them to pick up conversations where they left off, regardless of the channel used.
Let's look at a couple of examples of siloed communication systems.
Departmental Silos: In a traditional setup, different departments within a company may use separate communication systems. For example, the sales team might use one CRM system, while the customer service team uses another. This can lead to disjointed communication and difficulty in sharing information across departments.
Channel-Specific Tools: Some businesses use different tools for managing different communication channels, such as one tool for email, another for phone calls, and yet another for social media. This can result in agents having to switch between multiple tools to manage customer inquiries, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors.
Lagging Response Times: When communication between businesses and customers is cluttered across different platforms, systems, and mediums, it has a direct effect on the response time. Agents have no other options here, that’s why the customer perception can be negative due to prolonged time delays.
Inconsistent Communication: The inconsistency in communication due to siloed systems can result in multiple departments and agents, they don’t have any system to stay connected with the customer from all touchpoints. This inconsistency can confuse customers, make them lose their trust in the company, and lead them to never come back in the future.
How to resolve the departmental Siloed communication issues?
Genesys Cloud CX offers an interconnected platform for managing all the communication mediums, resolving all the silos on departments and tools levels.
The platform can easily be integrated with the CRM system and all other tools of the company, ensuring all the agents have their relevant access to get useful information on customer inquiries, and it leads to a more satisfying journey for customers.
Here are some real-life examples of inconsistent messaging customers may face with.
Marketing Promotions: Suppose, a customer of your company receives an email from your side regarding any kind of discount on your specific products/services for any special ongoing event, now customer wants to know more about it, and they decide to visit the website, on the website the discount was not applied because it was very specific. Inconsistency occurred, and on this point, the customer left your website with a bad experience.
General Product Information: A customer goes through one of your products or services on a social platform such as Instagram, he reads the description quickly and decides to visit the company’s website. On your website, the description is not the same as it was on social media. This inconsistency can lead to breaking the customer’s trust.
Confusions: Inconsistent messaging can create confusion and negative brand perception in customers’ minds, and make it difficult for them to understand the value proposition of a product or service.
Loss of Trust: If you are inconsistent with your product/service information sharing, then this can be a direct threat to your business loss, customers immediately get a negative impact whenever an inconsistency occurs.
