Telecom Customer Experience—How to ensure customer satisfaction

Customers are digital and omnichannel…

But the Web is the first point of contact

Your customers want choice and convenience when they need help. They do not want to be boxed into one service channel. Their choice of channel depends on the nature and urgency of their inquiry.

  • For many customers the web is the first point of contact and their preferred contact channel
  • Customers choose email for non-urgent issues and when they would like a record of the response
  • Customers choose chat when they want to multi-task or when they would like to remain anonymous

To ensure customer satisfaction, telecoms needs to offer channel choice, while guiding customers through appropriate channels that match their query type and address their urgency.


Your business should be digital and omnichannel, too

Using eGain solutions, telecom clients offer a choice of service channels to customers across the web, email, and chat. Matching customer expectation with the right channel of service, the eGain SelfService + AI software helps deliver effective responses using a common knowledge base.

However, digital containment needs to be done well in order to avoid digital disasters. Here are six ways to ensure customer satisfaction.
