Customer Engagement, Customer Experience

As companies focus on moving more of their business online, it is becoming increasingly important to pay closer attention to the customer journey and online sales funnels being created. For the best shot at success, companies must build a seamless cohesive journey that maximizes engagement while minimizing effort. But doing so, traditionally, is far from easy. For the most part, the customer journey is seldom linear and, in many cases, encompasses numerous channels - both offline...

The modern association with online customer service often revolves around an experience with live chat. While it’s certainly not the only channel that customers make use of, as email and social media are still popular options for customers looking for a response, live chat is the ideal option for getting an immediate response.

Remember the movie Back to the Future II? Filmmakers created a landscape of what they thought the world would look like 30 years into the future. They got some things wrong (they were only a year off on their Cubs world series win prediction) and there were other things they got just right. In one scene, Marty McFly talks to his boss on a two-way video chat interface. While the filmmakers correctly predicted that video chat...

As most of you know by now, SaleMove’s vision is to meet or exceed the in-person customer experience online. When we refer to the “in-person” customer experience, we think about the high-touch engagements that are possible when doing business face-to-face.

Customers, especially those in the digital space, increasingly have  more choices than ever before. Most of us generally assume that more variety is linked to higher levels of satisfaction, but this need not always be true.

Customer Engagement, Omnichannel

Successful companies understand that the customer experience doesn’t end once the sale is completed. Although not as sexy as marketing and customer service, the customer support center is an important but often overlooked means of improving the customer experience. Companies that offer a multichannel customer support strategy (two or more avenues of contact) are off to a good start.

Any experienced salesperson will tell you that their career has been full of peaks and valleys, creating a feast or famine way of life. The factors that determine at which end of the spectrum a salesperson or team may find themselves can be elusive at best.

As much as a positive customer service call can turn a casual customer into a loyal one, a mistake-ridden service call can lose a customer for life. According to Brian Solis, principal analyst at Silicon Valley’s Altimeter Group, the customer experience is becoming more important than the product itself. This makes the quality of the calls all the more vital. Consider the opinion of  Paul Greenberg, author of CRM at the Speed of Light and President of...
