Social Media Monitoring and Analyticsfor Customer Care

Hugo ZaragozaFounder & Director of Websays.

“slow” revolution in customer care…

Decision makers…• still think Twitter & Facebook is only for their

teenage daughter• they are afraid to “air” their problems in public• they are afraid of the amplification power and

crisis

Furthermore adoption requires…• investment without a clear ROI model• cross-organizational changes• new skills• perpetual crisis management

but change is inevitable:

Marketing is investing heavily in Social Media and engaging customers through the Internet…

… and customers are using the same channels to communicate and complain back!

and change is hard to argue against:

• Preferred channel by costumers• Easier to guide customers to relevant web pages or video

content.• On average, handling an inbound telephone call typically

costs a company $6 to $8; an interaction using social media, less than $1.3

• Cheaper IT infrastructure

• 71% of consumers who’ve had a good social-media service experience with a brand are likely to recommend it to others

• 70% of companies are trying out social customer care in some form.

• You can engage (the new Marketing imperative).• You can work in your competitor channels to “win clients”

“Why the COO should lead social-media customer service.” McKinsey Quarterly (2014, January).

it is in fact a great business opportunity…

• Number of “tickets” grows exponentially

• But the cost per resolved issue drops:– less agents– higher multi-tasking– easier to crwdsource– easier to automate

• And the ROI increases– Higher engagement– Higher visibility

Role of Social Support

(engagement & team)

“[…] go from being vigilant about protecting our brand reputation in the social space — which we should always be doing anyway — to really building customer loyalty. I think we’ve created, and will continue to create, some ‘wow’ moments for our customers.”

“ […] we still were only able to manage what was coming to our handle when we built the team up to 17 people.”

Katy Phillips, Senior Analyst in Social Communications, American Airlines.

(coverage)

Extends outside […] Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus, to finding blogs that are influential about your business sector. It takes a lot of time and resources. There are 40 top travel blogs; there are hundreds of top blogs for credit cards. In each one, people may be mentioning your brand, and they’re not necessarily specifying ‘@Chase’ or ‘@BarclayCard US.’

Brian Mook, AVP for Social Media, Barclaycard.
