Last week, The PhaseWare Files discussed Holistic Customer Service: Keeping Up With Multichannel Growth. Today, we’re excited to announce our new eBook: It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad Multichannel World. In our previous blog post on the multichannel experience, we covered a few key points for expanding your multichannel customer service and support strategy:
- Accessibility and consistent messaging: Access to multiple channels increases the likelihood that customers will request assistance, offer feedback, and complete sales. It also offers a greater chance that customer support will be able to resolve issues since the customer will be using a channel most comfortable to him.
- Seamless transitions and consolidated customer information: The multichannel support experience must be seamless to the customer. If a transition from one channel to another is necessary, customer support should be able to pick up the threads of the conversation without hesitation.
- Consistency between channels: In multichannel service consistency and seamlessness go hand in hand. All information given to the customer, no matter the channel, must match to avoid confusion and frustration.
- Availability and reliability: In addition to many channels to choose from, customers today are contacting companies from a greater variety of times and locations than ever before; whether a customer is calling on the go, accessing self-service over a mobile device, you must be ready to talk and your web access needs to be mobile friendly.
