Marketing and Sales are two key departments where your clients already hear from you on a regular basis. Marketing communicates with your consumers through channels like social media and email, while the Sales teams are more direct and speak with customers on the phone. You must be aware of, and track, the way Sales and Marketing interact with your consumers to provide efficient customer service. Connecting all your Marketing and Sales channels to your ServiceNow CSM platform is the first step in this process. This allows you to utilize insights to help guide future Marketing and Sales initiatives when you have a comprehensive understanding of all the major channels you use to interact with your consumers.
You want to bring on as many of your service units as you can, in addition to integrating Marketing and Sales with CSM. Engineering, IT, Field Services, Operations, R&D, and Finance are just a few of the departments included. Additionally, each of these divisions’ ability to provide customers with knowledge and information plays a crucial role in enhancing your customer’s experience. Many organizations depend on customer service representatives to figure out how to build the necessary connections on their own, which often results in the customer’s connection with these departments to be sporadic and one-off. ServiceNow CSM was created specifically to speed up the development of a networked, customer-focused ecosystem in which every department collaborates to methodically address customer issues and enhance the overall customer experience.
Metrics like first response time and issue resolution rate are frequently used by management teams to gauge the success of customer service. The quality of the customer engagement experience is not reflected in these efficiency measures, even though they are significant. Organizations should think about extending success measures beyond the initial figures and focusing more on interactions with customer quality representatives. Implementing an emotional intelligence scale to gauge a help desk’s capacity to project a good persona on consumers is one example of the qualitative measures that could be used.
Further, aligning these metrics with your strategic business goals is essential for successful customer service. It’s crucial that you link your metrics for measuring customer service success to corporate objectives since good customer service may support and advance strategic company goals. Every Customer Service indicator should be linked to a specific objective, such as increasing customer retention, or enhancing customer engagement.
Be proactive in spotting potential problems and warning your customers about them. Agents with access to real-time operational health of customers’ products and services can be alerted to potential problems before consumers are even aware of them. Send preemptive alerts exclusively to customers who may be impacted, informing them of a fix when it becomes available and sparing them the need to contact customer support.
Give your consumers quick, personalized self-service. The Customer Support Portal providing a customizable online service experience, conversational responses from a chatbot, knowledge base articles, and an online community of peers and experts are just a few of the self-service possibilities that Customer Service Management offers your customers.
