We live in a world where 76% of excutives believe a cyber breach is inevitable. While the risk is clear, 44% cannot find the budget to do something about it, while other 41% cite lack of resources as being the biggest hurdle. So is this just how it's going to be? Are we surrending to cyber criminals?

Your customer service team is made up of a variety of humans, each with different levels of knowledge. That comes with risk. Someone who is new or unfamiliar with a certain issue could say the wrong thing and fail to provide the solution a customer needs. For that reason, many organizations employ scripts within their call centers. Call center scripts clearly lay out what a customer service representative is supposed to say in response to a specific problem.

All our activities, online and offline, leave an almost imperceptible electronic trail. Traffic cameras “see” you cross a junction around the same time each weekday, your phone lets your favorite coffee shop know when and how long you visit through their “free” Wi-Fi.

There’s an old saying – “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” – that sometimes rings all too true for customer support teams. When prioritizing support inquiries, there’s a hierarchy of channels. Email sits at the bottom, with response times ranging into hours or even days. Chat is somewhere in the middle, with customers expecting a response in a few minutes. Phone support sits at the very top.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has amazing potential to drive customer loyalty. Customer loyalty is a huge priority for most businesses. It’s one of the key facets of customer retention, as it reduces customer churn. Reducing churn is desirable since it typically costs four times more to gain a new customer than to keep hold of an existing customer.
