Hello, could you connect me to CX please?

Our superbly connected lives in this Digital World should have had awesome telecommunication services (which form the foundation) – sadly, it isn’t so! Although the telecommunication service providers have marked off the basic voice and telephony services and now offer multitudes of entertainment channels and various other value added services.

To be true to the fact, customers have actually grown accustomed to the relatively seamless service experience provided in the retail and financial services sectors.

To respond to customer requirements successfully, telecoms need to build customer loyalty and create a stronger value perception (with value innovation) in the minds of customers. Telecom companies need to really focus on customer experience – which should be the cornerstone of their business strategy. With prospects for long term profitability, the customer experience improvement can actually give rise to sustainable competitive differentiation.
In essence, to effectively capture and exploit customer insights across the multichannel journey, companies need to engage customers and perform the analytics that yields exceptional results. A few notes to be taken to set the strategies straight in order to innovate the customer experience would be:

Let’s all try winning in the Digital World – because really, what’s business without competition and what’s a competition without differentiation!
