Age of Assistance
Amy Swartz (Partner Enablement Manager) | Google
Today’s empowered consumer has heightened expectations of all digital and brand experiences. Thanks to mobile,
consumers can get exactly what they want, instantly and effortlessly. They’re more curious, demanding and impatient
than ever before. As technology advances, they’re coming to expect all digital experiences to be helpful, personal,
frictionless – and they expect brands to leverage technology to deliver this assistance, too. Assistance is the new
battleground for growth. A brand’s ability to leverage data to anticipate consumer needs will define its ability to grow.
Increasing Profits Through a Powerful Customer Experience
Steve Whittington (Executive Vice President) | Flaman Group of Companies
Top organizations in any industry, from service and retail to fabrication and manufacturing, know that the customer
experience is the single biggest initiative that differentiates brands in the marketplace. An entire industry has been
developed around teaching customer service techniques.
The challenge for most, though, is measuring that customer experience and improving its metrics. The customer’s
journey is broken into four stages: Stimulus, the Sales Process, the After-Sales Process and Retention & Referral. These
stages, or ‘moments of truth’, are measured from data in software, surveys and customer information. Improving
these stages influences your company’s results.
Imagine improving all of them at the same time. Dramatic, breakthrough results can be achieved. We’ll take you
through the customer’s journey, its measurements and ways to improve the individual stages and ‘moments of truth’
you have with your customer.
