Businesses should focus on finding a balance between automation and human resources. This requires a deep understanding of customer behavior. Based on this, it is necessary to implement automation where it is most effective, and put consultants where it can have the greatest impact.
Data gap
The data flood is overwhelming business leaders. Still, meaningful insights into how to deliver better, more personalized experiences for customers are still lacking. In Korea, it is reported that more than one-fifth of the companies surveyed have a low possibility of higher sales efficiency due to CX data accessibility problems.
Many understand the need for integration. APAC regional CX champions use 16 apps, 8.3 times more than CX starters, but silos remain a challenge. CX champions are 11.7 times more likely to report data fragmentation as a significant obstacle to providing seamless customer support.
Providing the right information at the right time to the help desk can help support teams better anticipate customer needs. Customer feedback also allows other teams to quickly act to improve a product or service. Improving collaboration between sales and support teams can optimize customer engagement, reduce customer churn, and build stronger relationships across all touchpoints.
The Evolving Roles of CX
Report suggests that rethinking the role of support teams requires investing in training and tools that help advisors have what they need to discover leads and close deals. This allows the company to make a profit. CX Champion companies in the APAC region are well trained to find sales opportunities during customer interactions. Compared to CX starters, this share is 79% higher. In fact, CX champion companies are 2.1 times more likely to discover new sales opportunities. However, as customer expectations rise, so does the pressure to continually differentiate a product or service.
"The biggest change businesses face is customer expectations," said Jeff Titerton. To meet customer expectations, operational and cultural changes are required." "The role of CX cannot be overemphasized. Business leaders must not only prioritize investing in this, but also enable their teams to work more efficiently. It's difficult, but the data shows how important it is to seize the opportunity right."
Customer expectations continue to rise. The way forward for companies is to ensure they have the right knowledge and skills to meet customer expectations.
