Bridging Organizational Siloes to Improve Customer Loyalty
Customer experience is becoming critical in the battle for customer loyalty and is now considered the top competitive differentiator outweighing brand, product quality, and price. According to Cisco’s global contact center survey, more than half of contact centers now report into a CX executive, and yet 72 percent of contact center decision-makers say that fragmented customer experiences are one of their top 5 business challenges.
Customers need continual communications on how the companies that they interact with are meeting their needs. For many organizations, delivering a great customer experience starts with the contact center as perhaps the only point of contact. For others, the contact center is the last point of interaction after automation does its part. Either way, multiple touchpoints between a company and its customers will span across multiple organizations such as sales, marketing, and customer service, and across multiple channels such as e-mail, online, salespeople and media, creating silos that can result in inconsistent customer experiences.
