Many Consumer Interactions Are ‘Employee-less’
1. Customers only call if they can’t self-serve first or if the inquiry is really complex…
• 57% of customers tried self-service on company websites before calling in to a contact center 1
• 90% of consumers will always check a website first before emailing or calling 3
• 75% of surveyed consumers said they would prefer to use online support if it were reliable and provided accurate and complete information 4
2. Consumers are online when they call
• 30% of those callers were still on the website when on the phone with the contact center agent 1
• Smart, mobile devices affect the in-store buying pattern in bricks and mortar stores
1 - Corporate Executive Board’s 75,000 member survey, 2 – Execs in the Know – Feb 2014, 3 -- Synthetix Customer Service Survey 2012, 4 -- Coleman Parkes for Amdocs, 2012 Survey, 5- IDC Worldwide New Media Market Model Forecast
3. More frequently consumers don’t call…
• Obtain info without calling… via website, smart phone, Facebook, Twitter… often while they are shopping… or are they on a competitor’s site?
• Global B2C mobile commerce spending will grow 6 fold between 2011 and 2016 reaching $223 billion by the end of 2016 5
• Mobile care is getting HOT – 73% of companies’ websites are “easily viewed on devices”; yet only 4% provide “text for assistance” 2
