Global trends in not just the telecom industry but businesses, in general, have placed effective customer service experience at the top as a key determinant for customer retention. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), businesses continue to provide their customers with instant, on-demand services to fulfill their needs, such as making payments, troubleshooting basic service issues, among others.
“For telecom companies, providing a positive customer experience is more important now than ever before as it is tied directly to customer retention,” according to a Customer Service Benchmark Report on the telecom industry, by Netomi, a leading artificial intelligence company, and developer of human-computer interaction technologies.
It adds; “Modern customers expect quick, effortless resolutions on their channel of choice.”
The Covid-19 pandemic has also occasioned a shift in customer behaviors, leading many businesses to consider contactless interactions with their customers by building or augmenting their digital capabilities.
