1. Reduce operating costs 30%

A customer engagement plan that includes Conversational AI technology can lead to agent efficiencies, an important step for business cost savings:

  • Lower hold times and automate up to 50% of inbound conversations with an AI chatbot or set of bots.
  • Automate more. Find the perfect balance of human agents and AI-powered customer interactions, freeing your agents to focus on complex issues, doubling efficiency and reducing cost per conversation by as much as 50%.
  • Reduce agent attrition costs up to 70% by using messaging and automation to improve employee satisfaction and the agent experience.

2. Boost satisfaction 20%

Successful customer engagement strategies don’t just answer questions. They help build customer retention with convenience and attentiveness:

  • Go beyond customer satisfaction surveys and improve CSAT with lower wait times and greater first-touch resolution.
  • Meet customers where they are. Shift away from a digital maze of website contact forms and 800 numbers, giving them the option to reach you however they choose with consistent, asynchronous messaging.
  • Build brand loyalty by delivering a highly personalized service and customer experience at scale, empowering agents and supervisors to manage, route, and respond to interactions from a single platform.

3. Up to 10x increase in sales conversions

Another important way to measure customer engagement success is to look at its impact on sales. With AI-powered messaging, you can:

  • Guide your customers. Give them the ability to ask product questions or get help completing a purchase through messaging.
  • Win early and often. Leverage AI-driven analytics for high-quality leads and upsell opportunities. Even in the early stages of a conversational program, average order value has been reported up to 20% higher than customers who self-serve.
  • Bring on the bots. Offer 24/7 support, reduce cart abandonment, and improve sales conversion rates without adding to your agent workforce.

4. Get real-time insight into 100% of conversations

Instead of waiting to analyze customer feedback, incorporate it into the existing conversation to help improve the experience:

  • Deepen customer loyalty and promote higher conversions with predictive, intent-driven engagement.
  • Dynamically forecast cost-savings opportunities in real time — based on customer sentiment and behavioral trends — with consistent, asynchronous messaging.
  • Integrate with ease. Improve your customer engagement strategy successes with out-of-the-box integrations that let you connect contextual customer data with intent to engage customers at the right time.
