Elevating Customer Experience with the Power of Workflow Automation

February 23, 2023

Delivering an effective customer experience is vital to the success of your business – and the numbers don’t lie. Companies that lead in customer experience outperform their competitors by nearly 80%.  Within the financial and insurance industries alone, 62% claim customer experience as a primary differentiator amongst their competition. Companies with good customer service benefit from positive promotion, repeat business, and long-term customer loyalty. Conversely, poor customer service results in negative reviews, customer loss, and damage to a company’s reputation. 

When considering your own business processes,  several factors can affect customer service, including:

Employee training and development: Proper onboarding, training, and resources ensure employees have the necessary skills and knowledge to serve customers effectively.

Customer demand and expectations: Understanding customer demand and expectations is essential in providing relevant and appropriate customer service.

Industry regulations and standards: Specific regulations and compliance standards must be met in certain industries, like financial services and healthcare, which can impact the level of service provided.

Competition: Competition within an industry impacts customer service, as companies strive to differentiate themselves and offer better service to attract and retain customers.

While it’s been established that excellent customer service is required for the growth of a business, the question remains: How do we hone a consistent, positive customer experience? 

 

Automation as a Solution 

Over the next two years, it is predicted that 57% of enterprise organizations will build automation strategies to support customer experience. Companies that turn to automation to improve customer interactions will increase their chances of standing out in a competitive marketplace, attracting new customers, and retaining their existing ones. 

Automation helps by simplifying and streamlining the processes that directly impact how customers interact with your brand. This reduces processing cycle times, improves the accuracy of responses, and elevates your customer’s overall experience across channels.
