CX Transformation
How do I add context to customer interactions?
Customer profiles are critical to building the understanding needed to contextualize interactions. The other key insight needed is where Avtex can help – understanding the right level of context to add to a given interaction. Customers have shown a greater appreciation for personalized engagements as the complexity of the product/service increases. Conversely, there’s less desire for highly personal interactions when dealing with commodities. Our CX team helps identify how to apply context to achieve an authentic personalized experience.

How do I personalize interactions in a digital world?
Real-time data updates in a core CRM are the baseline for creating personalized interactions. Information is constantly updating. For example, once someone opens a checking account, they don’t need to have all the details of opening a checking account presented to them. Today’s consumer leaves a digital fingerprint on everything with which they interact. It’s that context that is used to then further personalize the journey across digital channels. The goal is the same level of emotional connection to a brand achieved through face to face engagements.

CX Transformation
Which channels do our customers prefer?
Customer journey mapping sessions usually contain surprises for executives. Often this comes in the form of channel preference and a gap in what is being delivered vs desired. The ways that customers choose to communicate vary by persona and time, thus there needs to be a plan for easily expanding or reducing channels. To avoid wasteful efforts in channels that customers don’t care about, Avtex consults directly with customers as part of the approach to communication planning, in order to make sure that channels are aligned with expectations.

How do I provide effortless interactions across channels?
A technology ecosystem evaluation is critical to understanding all the conversations that are happening with customers and where the record of those conversations is being stored. If the contact center is partitioned by channel, such that the social interaction team and the phone team are not working from the same customer profile, then the transfer of a single customer across those channels will seem disjointed. Avtex has deep expertise across all the core CX technologies (Contact Center, CRM, Unified Communications, etc…) to enable an integrated customer experience, no matter the channel.

How do I use the information about my customers to craft better interactions?
Data overload is real. Too much information can be paralyzing, and our CX experts understand that each organization has a different threshold for how they can act on customer insights. We work side by side with you and your customers to find the ripest areas of improvement using modern techniques and advanced data gathering tools.
CX Orchestration
How do I use the right customer information at the right time?
We first work with our clients to make sure that the right information is being collected about their customers. Then we talk with business units across the organization to fully understand how they support customer goals and what information is needed to best align to those goals. Finally, we help architect processes to access customer data from a CRM and surface through integrated solutions to agents or staff as appropriate for their business objectives.

CX Transformation
How do I map out the entire customer journey?
Many organizations are prescribing the customer journey based on pre-conceived notions or dated research. We work with your customers directly to understand the overall process by which they engage your brand across time, need, and channel to piece together the entire ecosystem of customer interactions.
CX Orchestration
What are the most effective ways to view the customer touchpoints, both historically and in real-time?
Too often, we see businesses with different places to store information. To effectively use the insights of a customer journey, the data collected must be stored in a single location to create a sole source of truth. Avtex works to put in place a 360-degree view of the customer through CRM platforms that are open to serve up data at the right time across any existing client system.
We get results.
Case Study
With outdated systems that made communication difficult, dreams of working remotely while maintaining business continuity were fading quickly. iQ was also looking to elevate their member experience (MX) with faster, more connected communications. Before partnering with Avtex, iQ's members and agents were experiencing friction in the contact center.
