Meeting multichannel customer service expectations

On-Demand with Billy Hamilton-Stent & Josh Frank

The days of businesses providing a single channel of support communication are gone and unlikely to return. Now, it's more likely they'll be trying to strike a balance between what customers are looking for—the warmth of human communication and the speed and efficiency of automated service.
This webinar, based on the findings of a recent survey conducted by Loudhouse and commissioned by Zendesk, illustrates this important and perplexing challenge faced by all companies.

We'll be discussing four key trends that the survey highlighted:

• Multi-channel customers are less patient and expect more than 3 years ago
• Multi-channel use had increased considerably in 3 years, with more
  diverse channels available to customers
• Customers are developing distinct expectations for each support channel
• Higher expectations are balanced by a more relaxed approach to sharing
  diverse channels available to customers
• Customers personal information—but only if doing so improves service
