THE NEW CUSTOMER SERVICE IMPERATIVES FOR RETAILERS

Create a seamless customer service experience
Meet the customer wherever they are and when they choose
Customer service issues must be resolved quickly
![Page 6: One Face of the Brand](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5701d1a28ab2c518b45e8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Customer service must be seamless across all communication channels where customer
interactions and feedback occur

Seamless customer service drives collaboration and puts the customer at the center of shared efforts

EVEN A SINGLE ISSUE MAY CROSS MULTIPLE CHANNELS
When the customer is online later that day, they use chat to check the progress and tweet about their support experience
A customer sends an email requesting support
Retailer follow-up starts with email and continues to phone

The proliferation of communication channels poses a challenge when trying to meet the customer
wherever they are
![Page 11: One Face of the Brand](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5701d1a28ab2c518b45e8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To meet the customer wherever they are, remember support is more than just a ticket.
Self-service tools empower customers
![Page 12: One Face of the Brand](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5701d1a28ab2c518b45e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Meet the customer wherever they are to improve the customer service experience and increase profits
![Page 14: One Face of the Brand](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5701d1a28ab2c518b45e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
If customers’ issues are resolved quickly no matter which channel they use, they feel
valued by the brand
![Page 15: One Face of the Brand](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5701d1a28ab2c518b45e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
An issue that is resolved within 24 hours, at the first point of contact--something more likely to occur when all customer communication vehicles are in sync--can be up to 170% less costly than an issue that takes 48 hours to resolve
![Page 16: One Face of the Brand](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5701d1a28ab2c518b45e8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If issues aren’t resolved quickly, or customers experience slower resolution times when using different channels, this inconsistency fractures the customer experience
