Discover opportunities for efficiency in your contact center.

Success in the contact center can be measured a number of ways, but none are as fundamental as efficiency and customer satisfaction.  Providing a great customer experience using as few resources as possible is an art; one that all organizations struggle to perfect. 

ICMI’s research indicates that the key causes of contact center inefficiency and customer dissatisfaction are antiquated systems, limited visibility into customer information, and decreased agent engagement as a result of these two deficiencies.  A majority of contact centers have unintentionally landed themselves in a repetitive cycle of inefficiency. As an example, ICMI’s research uncovered that 42% of contact centers don’t know the cause of repeat contacts.

What if you could be responsible for changing all of that?

Businesses today are more consumer driven than ever.  Customers expect the right information, in their channels of choice, and in the limited amount of time that they have available.  In order to provide this effectively, contact center leaders need to assess what kinds of contacts are taking the most time, identify what the inefficiencies are, and then implement a plan to simplify the experience. 

During this webinar you will learn:

  1. How to identify your most time-consuming contact drivers and processes
  2. Where the opportunities for efficiencies are in your contact center
  3. Ways to bridge the gap between assisted service and self-service
