Timpani Contact CenterDeliver seamless multi-channel customer service
In today's commoditized marketplace, customer interaction quality, in both a pre- and post-sales environment, has become a vital competitive differentiator. After interviewing executives from 176 large North American companies about their customer experience practices, Forrester Research found that 96% of these firms anticipate an increase in online interactions over the next two years, 87% of which expect the increase in volume to be significant. Consumer expectations for service delivery are high and growing increasingly sophisticated. At the same time, contact center managers continue to face challenges, such as growing call volumes, increased web-based inquiries, high labor costs, and reduced budgets. While contact centers play a critical role in keeping customers satisfied, they are also under constant demand to reduce operational costs. Consumers are intolerant of response time delays and failing to meet and resolve their service expectations can lead to customer churn. As rising costs and call volumes drive call centers to pursue more cost-effective methods to provide service, customer-centric organizations are evaluating new ways to improve the customer experience while reducing the cost to serve. |
“Being able to resolve customer issues with a single point of contact has generated positive results. LivePerson also enables us to offer secure email and knowledgebase for members who prefer email or self-service (over live chat). All three of these, chat, email and knowledgebase, have been great supporting products for our call center.”
