Unlocking the Value of the Voice Channel
Manage episode 447608658 series 3449109
On this episode of Connected Knowledge, Pete Wright sits down with Andrea Sabean, Senior Account Executive at Upland Software, to discuss the enduring importance of voice interactions in customer experience, even in the age of AI and chatbots.
While artificial intelligence is transforming many aspects of communication, Andrea points out that voice remains the preferred channel for most inbound contact center interactions, particularly for complex issues. Customers facing intricate problems often prefer the direct connection and problem-solving capabilities of a human agent. This preference transcends demographics, driven by a desire for efficient, first-call resolution.
The conversation explores the current state of call centers and the role of Computer Telephony Integration (CTI). Andrea highlights the need for organizations to connect their existing technologies, empowering agents to access customer information proactively. This integration allows agents to greet callers with personalized greetings and understand their needs without repetitive questioning, improving both customer and agent experience.
Pete and Andrea discuss the challenges of technological upgrades, acknowledging the difficulty of “rip and replace” solutions. Andrea emphasizes the importance of agent wellness and retention, advocating for tools that streamline access to information and facilitate continuous learning. She notes that providing agents with the right tools not only improves their performance but also contributes to a more positive work environment.
They turn to Upland Software's CTI product, InGenius, which integrates legacy voice systems with CRM platforms like Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and ServiceNow. Andrea explains how InGenius acts as a bridge between these systems, enabling seamless data transfer without requiring significant overhauls. She cites examples of companies like Medgate and an environmental waste management company that have successfully implemented InGenius, resulting in increased efficiency and improved customer satisfaction.
