To conclude the five fundamental pillars that define exceptional customer service today, we will look at why the human touch is indispensable.
In an era dominated by automation and standardized processes, personalization is what allows a company to move from being a faceless entity to becoming a trusted partner. Personalized service shows customers that they are valued as individuals, not just as numbers in a database.
In this sense, effective personalization goes far beyond simply using the customer’s name. It involves leveraging history and context to make every interaction unique and relevant. This is reflected in:
- Knowledge of customer history: When a customer contacts us, the agent should immediately know their call history, previous interactions, and service configuration. There is nothing more frustrating than having to repeat one’s story.
- Tone adaptation: An agent should not speak in the same way to a first-time caller as to a customer who has been with the company for five years. Personalization includes adapting tone, level of formality, and depth of explanation according to the existing relationship.
- Targeted offers: Instead of sending mass newsletters with irrelevant promotions, personalization makes it possible to offer solutions (or products) that directly align with the challenges or usage previously reported by the customer.
At Meerkat Cx, we believe that true personalization is made possible through technology. That is why our solution integrates Customer Relationship Management (CRM) functionalities that provide real-time access to ticket history, identify the agent who previously assisted the customer, allow consultation of relevant past notes for each case, and enable proactive, personalized customer follow-up.
