Crafting the Perfect Recipe for Outstanding Customer Service

Great CX is a recipe for success. But what’s the secret ingredient for delivering outstanding customer experiences? What does it take to create truly world-class service? Working Solutions is sharing its own recipe for success — a recipe we’ve been perfecting for over 26 years. Let’s dig into the five key ingredients that make up our secret sauce.

1. Find the Right CX Talent and Provide Them with Top Notch Training

Attracting skilled customer service talent can feel like a never-ending challenge but it’s easier than you think. Providing flexible work hours and remote work opportunities can go a long way towards making your company stand out from other potential employers.

And don’t forget about the perfect complement to talented agents: effective training. A comprehensive education program specifically tailored to your brand, customers, products, or services is essential to empower your agents to be successful when interacting with customers and providing quality service, positively affecting how customers perceive your brand.

When developing a virtual training blueprint, Working Solutions expert educators develop an education program designed to ensure agents develop the right skills to maximize efficiency and effectiveness while making sure that every interaction provides an outstanding customer experience.

2. Raise the Heat on Your Response Time

When demand increases suddenly or unexpectedly you want to be able to quickly adjust your staffing levels so you can respond in a timely manner without sacrificing quality. If your customer service operations aren’t able to handle sudden spikes in demand, then your customer experience will suffer.

That’s where a trusted outsourcing partner comes in. Having an army of on-demand virtual agents ready to respond when demand changes allows you to ensure customers are always taken care of quickly and efficiently — which can go a long way towards building trust and brand loyalty.

3. Spice Up Your Brand Through Empathy

Customers crave personalized experiences, which requires an empathetic approach when interacting with them at every touchpoint throughout their journey with your brand — from pre-sale inquiries all the way through post-sale support issues. Stay competitive in today’s landscape by personalizing customer interactions across multiple channels while keeping things consistent from one platform to another.

This is where providing top-notch training pays off. A robust agent education program gives agents the ability to understand each customer’s unique needs and to deliver personalized care across multiple channels. By providing personalized experiences, you will differentiate your brand from competitors while increasing loyalty among existing customers and attracting new ones.

4. Select the Perfect Blend of Channels

Delivering personalized care via phone or email is no longer enough. Today’s customers expect cross-channel personalization that meets them where they are — on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as messaging apps like WhatsApp, LINE, and Viber.

When developing your customer service strategy, make sure you are including all the different channels where your customers are so you can respond quickly with accurate information tailored specifically for each individual regardless of the channel where your customers are reaching out through.

5. Season Your Contact Center Operations Without Breaking the Bank

Optimizing your customer service operations is as important as providing a high quality of service. Businesses with large customer service teams can find themselves spending a lot of money on operational costs such as payroll expenses and training programs. Partnering with an on-demand customer service outsourcer can help you reduce these costs while increasing usage and ensuring customers receive quality support when they need it.
