Revolutionizing Retail: A Journey Towards Enhancing Customer Experience

Unify and streamline all communication channels: It can be challenging for retailers to manage different communication simultaneously. That is why it is important to use an omnichannel contact center that integrates and unifies multiple communication channels to provide a seamless and consistent customer experience. By providing multiple contact options, your customers have the flexibility to choose how they wish to get in contact with your team.  

Give customers the ability to reach you 24/7: Nowadays customers expect service representatives to be available at all hours of the day, and that includes after-hours. By implementing FAQ chatbots, your customers can get answers to their questions, without having to wait in queue and speak to a live agent.  

Eliminate long wait times: Offering customers the option to request a callback instead of waiting for long periods of time shows that your business values the caller’s time. Customers will be less frustrated when the agent calls back, thus enhancing their overall customer experience. 

Handle customer inquiries faster: Customers are looking for someone to solve their problems quickly. Implementing skills-based routing within your contact center reduces the likelihood of customers being transferred multiple times throughout a call. Approximately 70% of customers have indicated their frustrations with their calls being transferred to another agent. By directing customers to the right agent from the start, customers won’t feel as though their time was wasted and are less likely to be frustrated throughout the interaction. 

Enhance customer loyalty by personalizing each client’s experience: This leads to faster issue resolution, reducing customer wait times, and increasing overall customer satisfaction. Customer loyalty is key to any business since they are more likely to come back and recommend you to their friends and family. Deliver a personalized customer experience by integrating a CRM within your contact center that screen pops contextual information to an agent’s screen. With instant access to customer information, agents can quickly understand the customer’s previous interactions, preferences, and account details.  

Give customers the opportunity to share their feedback: It is important to note that customers will express their opinions regardless of whether you want to hear them. That is why it is a lot more valuable to listen to their feedback through surveys as opposed to learning about their bad experience on social media. Demonstrating that you are open to feedback and willing to make improvements builds trust and credibility with customers, enhancing your brand’s reputation.  

Instill a sense of security in customers with credit card protection: Customers are more likely to transact with businesses that prioritize data security. According to Forbes, “It only takes one high-profile security breach to cost your customers’ loyalty”. That is why it is important to make sure your contact center is PCI-DSS compliant. Being PCI-compliant demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding customer information and building trust and confidence among customers.
