Over the years, the need for businesses to continually improve call center customer experience to meet up with the dynamism of customers has increased.
With digitalization, call centers have evolved from a system that only makes and answers calls to a 360 experience center that understands, knows, and delivers value to the customer.
So, how can call centers keep up with the changes in customer demand and technological advancements?
How to deliver better call center customer experience
- Be Always Accessible To Customers
- Motivate Your Customer Representatives
- Leverage the Power of Artificial Intelligence
- Compete
Be Always Accessible To Customers
Your customers should be able to reach you whenever they need, regardless of “where” and “when.”Â
Having a single communication channel based on phone calls affects your customer experience. Your customers are on social media, so where are you? 
According to the survey, 67% of customers use companies’ social media accounts for customer service needs.
If your customers prefer to contact you on social media, why would you force them to call? Equip your call center with social media integrations such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to provide them with the ease of reaching out to you.
Motivate Your Customer Representatives
Why is motivation so important? Customer representatives are the first to contact your customers.Â
According to a Gallup report, globally, 13 to 16% of the workforce is actively disengaged at work. And another 70% is pushing the line to become actively disengaged, too.
A disengaged employee usually doesn’t enjoy their work, and as a result, does the bare minimum, doesn’t put in extra effort, and is highly unlikely to market the company to others.
If you can give your representatives the freedom to be themselves, you can build deeper and longer-lasting relationships with customers.
Leverage the Power of Artificial Intelligence
In recent years, artificial intelligence, a frequently used concept, has changed call centers in many sectors.
In the situation of an e-commerce platform like eBay, when contact center agents get a request such as, “when will my order arrive?” the potential of saving more time would be high if the customer representative could see the shipment status automatically!
You can reduce your call traffic by around 60% with Chatbot, Dialogflow, and webchat tools.
An omnichannel communication solution brings all communication channels into one dashboard, providing ease in customer service management.
