At NRF 2020 Kustomer's VP of Growth, Gabe Larsen, and Enterprise Account Executive, Matthew Freedman, discuss why Kustomer is the premiere next generation customer service platform.

How Happy Are You With Your Customer Service?

The modern day customer has changed drastically over the past decade. They demand seamless and instantaneous communication across any channel, at any time. In fact, according to a recent Kustomer survey, 77% of customers expect their problem to be solved immediately upon contacting customer service. 

Just as it has become easier for customers to get in touch with companies across an array of channels, it is also becoming more difficult for companies to understand and speak directly to the specific needs of their customers, at scale. Join Jillian Zatta, Head Of Business Development & Customer Success at Reply.ai and Taylor Lowe, Product Manager at Kustomer Product team along with Chad Horenfeldt, Director of Customer Success as we explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can help companies meet customer demands and deliver superior service, without overwhelming agents. After viewing this webinar you will:

Scaling Customer Service With the Help of AI

Sixty-six percent  of younger consumers believe that the customer is always right. This generation expects more from the brands they choose to engage with, wanting seamless, personalized service on every platform, instantaneously. 

Join Kustomer VP of Growth, Gabe Larsen, to discuss highlights from our newly released buyer’s guide, and understand how technology can enable you to deliver on customers’ growing expectations.

In this webinar you will learn:

How The Right Technology Can Level Up Your Customer Service

It’s predicted that the use of AI in customer service will increase by 143% by late 2020. This means that AI is something that can’t be ignored, both on the business and consumer side.

Taylor Lowe from Kustomer and Gary McGrath from Paddle dive into how AI and automation are changing customer service and what the future of customer service looks like. After watching this webinar, you will learn:

- The rise and fear of artificial intelligence in the customer service space.

- How AI can support building relationships with your customers.
- How AI is shaping the future of not only customer service but the role of the customer service agent of the future.

How AI and Automation Are Changing Customer Service as We Know It

Not everyone looks forward to calling a contact center. Most people don’t pick up the phone and smile from ear to ear in anticipation for those ‘press 1 for…’ and ‘average wait time is two minutes’ automated messages. Contact centers are complex and often an afterthought for many companies. This is especially apparent for companies that grow quickly and are in the most need of an efficient way to answer customer questions. 

We sat down with Aarde Cosseboom to discuss his latest book, Enable Better Service. Get some tips and tricks from Aarde on how you might turn your contact center into a well-oiled machine that can help you save on the bottom line.  From the book, you will find technology strategies, insights on how to select and engage with partners, learn how to recruit and maintain a high level of talent on your team, and more.

This means that the way retailers interact with consumers in their greatest times of need could be the difference between a lifelong customer and one lost to the competition.

Lessons from 2019 Peak Season: How Retailers Handled the Seasonal Rush

Do consumers anticipate a personalized customer service experience? We asked New Yorkers to weigh in with their expectations.

Personalized Customer Experiences

We asked New Yorkers to describe their best and worst customer service interactions. Here’s what they shared with us.

Best and Worst Customer Service Experiences

We went out on the streets of New York City to ask the everyday consumer what they expect from a brand’s customer service during the holiday season. Take a look at their response.

Customer Expectations During Holiday Season

Join our November Book Club discussion of "Marketing to the Entitled Customer: How to Turn Unreasonable Expectations into Lasting Relationships" by Dave Frankland and Nick Worth. 

Marketers face a paradox. Consumers expect your brand to know everything about them — who they are, what they want — and they expect you to deliver instantaneously. But ad saturation and inbox clutter make them resent everything markets do. In this environment, traditional approaches just won’t cut it. Marketing to the modern day consumer demands a new strategy: consumer-first marketing. This book, featuring a foreword by NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young, is the first to lay out how to do it.

Marketing to the Entitled Consumer

Companies spend billions each year on optimizing digital customer experiences, however, for most customers the defining experience is their human interaction (and increasingly only) with a customer service agent. But, if agents don’t have a great experience themselves, how can they be expected to provide one for their customers?

Being a customer service agent has never been harder. Customers’ expectations are higher than ever. And companies expect their agents to improve engagement to meet these expectations, while taking less time. Yet, maximizing speed and attentiveness naturally conflict. Careful, thoughtful service can consume an agent’s time, but their KPIs are typically focused on time-sensitive metrics.

Achieving a modern customer service experience must begin with companies enabling their service teams to deliver attentive and insightful service that ensures the agent experience aligns to the customer experience and both are equally positive.

This webinar will break down how customer service has evolved to facilitate the increasing needs of the ever-informed consumer by empowering service teams with better processes and technology to focus on delivering the type of support that builds trust, loyalty, and ultimately economic value.
