Hygiene, performance and delight
Basic expectations = hygiene factors. Perform poorly on these and you suffer.
Performance payoffs = standard factors. The more you do, the more customers appreciate it.
Excitement generators = wow factors. This is what will make you memorable.
Over time, all factors deteriorate as they become commonplace. You have to keep raising the bar.
Delighted (and empowered) staff will delight customers.

CRM integration is key
CRM integration is key
Multi-channel contact centre
CRM at the core of all customer relations
Social CRM
Strategy
Multi-channel Contact CentreMore than half of call centres use six channels or more
Provide agents with the training and tools needed to successfully use each channel
Automated customer contact distribution (on all channels, not just voice)
Break down data silos between channels
Contact centre analytics using business intelligence tools, e.g. channel effectiveness
Employ text (and speech) analytics
Strategy

Text and speech analytics
Determine root cause of repeat contacts and poor first contact resolution, even when contacts cross channels
• Call center voice and notes
• Customer email and chat
• Social media
• Survey comments

Development
Use channels appropriately
Website: Go in-depth, transact, convert
Mobile site: Validate, qualify, show to others
Mobile app: Interact, transact, consummate the relationship
Email: Topical, relevant, timely updates. Used for forwarding
Social media: Conversation, dialogue, never push messaging
Contact-centre: Situation-specific help and advice
In-person: Explanation, help with complex situations, high-security-requirement transactions
Never send people off to another channel from the one they chose!
