Customers want options – and you deliver with a variety of self-service and personalized service choices. But what matters to them most now?
Simplicity and empathy.
When they want fast, effective answers to their small issues, they expect simplicity from self-service options. When the issues are a little deeper, they need someone who cares, according to a new study from STARTEK.
“When consumers interact with self-service technologies, no connection happens. Software can’t express true human empathy,” said Dr. James Keaten, chief science officer at STARTEK. “… When there’s an issue, consumers prefer to interact with a human who cares about them and cares about resolving the issue.”
STARTEK’s study took a close look at experiences across channels and the results customers want from those interactions.
