Snackable CX (Podcast)

If your contact center is running on outdated tech, you’ll quickly lose the race to provide customers with seamless experiences–ultimately tanking your customer retention and costing you revenue.

And it’s not just me saying that. The stakes are high as studies show that one in five customers will almost immediately abandon a brand after a single poor experience.

That should make all of us in the CX space pause and reflect on how well we serve our customers.

Your tech stack is a critical piece of the CX puzzle, so today we’re reviewing five pieces of CX tech that will help you keep your edge and expand your influence through personalized, customer-centric pathways.

When you factor in things like agent payroll, toll fees, tech costs, and contact center upkeep, it’s clear that every operating minute significantly impacts a contact center’s bottom line.

The simple truth is: virtual queueing can reduce these daily operating costs and increase customer satisfaction. But rather than just spout off a bunch of numbers to prove it, I’m going to break down exactly how you can measure this ROI in your contact center and see for yourself.

What if there was a way you could reduce call center costs, smooth out peak call volume, increase customer satisfaction, boost your bottom line, and take the burden of an infinite queue off your agents’ shoulders?

At risk of sounding like an infomercial, we're using this episode to hit you with the reality that implementing a callback solution in your contact center can do all that. And we know this first hand because we have almost three decades of experience working with brands to transform their contact center and customer experience.

Join Sam to take a deep dive into callback—what it is, how it works, and the massive benefits that this simple, customer-centric technology can bring not just to your contact center, but to your entire brand.

Repeat callers are typically frustrated callers. And the reality is, they’re a massive drain on a contact center’s time, resources, and capital. I mean, they might even be inflating your call metrics to a point that you don’t even know how many unique callers you’re actually getting. We'll dig into the specifics of battling this runaway train.
