It’s Time to Have a Conversation About Voice
When one thinks about voice as a communications channel, it’s quite natural to immediately think in terms of telephony — a person-to-person phone call, a conference call, or perhaps a phone interaction with a customer support agent.
Let’s Expand That View of Voice
As a business leader responsible for delivering exceptional experiences to your customers, a winning set of products and features is only one element — albeit a crucial one — of building customer loyalty. The speed, effectiveness, and flexibility of your interactions with customers are essential for you to stand apart in your market.
Voice communications as a channel is natural and intuitive — and has never been more relevant for how customers interact with a brand, whether via full-service or self-service.
Consider the emergence and adoption of Conversational AI and its ability to meet a user’s preference for speaking and to deliver a differentiated customer experience. It’s expected that by next year, 85 percent of all customer service interactions will begin with self-service. The continued growth of messaging, SMS, and social channels cannot be denied. But that said, speech-enabled applications like virtual assistants can:
validate identity
deliver alerts and notifications
facilitate product research
confirm order submissions
provide customer support for routine inquiries or problem resolution
All are key attributes of an omnichannel strategy that meets customer preferences in how they choose to interact with your brand.
