Transforming the Utilities Customer Experience

Meeting—and exceeding—escalating customer expectations

 

In a recent survey, 62 percent of utilities said improving the customer experience is their top priority, and with good reason. In both regulated and unregulated markets, customers are demanding the same caliber of experience they receive from Amazon, Uber, and other industry leaders. The good news is that by offering in-demand capabilities like self-service applications and virtual agents (aka chatbots), utility customer care centers can significantly lower their per-contact costs, free their agents to focus on more challenging tasks, and improve customer satisfaction.
