Finding and retaining the right customers can be a challenge. By saving time, ensuring consistent communication, and improving customer satisfaction, automated solutions can help you and your business.
Customer Satisfaction
By streamlining and automating processes, you can improve customer satisfaction.
- Simplicity: Make it as easy as possible for your customers. Use self-service options such as FAQ pages, knowledge bases, and automated helplines. This allows customers to find solutions to common questions themselves, saving time for both them and your team.
- Speed: Provide automatic responses to common questions or issues. Incoming emails can be forwarded based on specific keywords to the appropriate department or team members. The customer receives a confirmation with an estimated response time.
- Personalisation: By tracking customer preferences and behaviour, you can automatically send personalised offers and recommendations. Think of personalised follow-up emails after customer service interactions. Always keep GDPR in mind. Internally, your employees can be automatically reminded of the values and style of your company.
Media Channels
Do you use various media channels or are you considering implementing them? Here are three useful automations.
- Chatbots: AI-driven chatbots can be available 24/7 and assist customers with simple requests or issues, such as resetting passwords, finding product information, or checking order statuses. If necessary, they can refer customers to a human representative.
- Automatic Responses: Emails can be automatically answered based on specific words in the subject or body, providing the customer with potential solutions and an average response time.
- Multichannel Ticketing System: A system that collects incoming requests from various channels (chat, email, social media, phone calls) can be set up to prioritise and assign certain tickets to the appropriate department or staff based on pre-set rules. Customers receive automatic updates on the status of their inquiry.
Internal Management and Organisation
Automatically handling customer data, such as address changes or family expansions, prevents errors and ensures that employees have more time for other tasks. Customer information remains up-to-date and finding the right information becomes easier.
Based on automated feedback loops, such as satisfaction surveys, companies can easily measure, analyse, and optimise processes. Sending reminder emails for follow-up actions, such as product reviews or subscription renewals, can also be automated.
Conclusion
Customer contact can take up a lot of time. With the right automations, you can save time internally, reduce response times for customers, and improve the quality of your service. Moreover, research can help you better focus on the right customers. Curious how we can help you? Schedule a meeting with us or send us an email.
