Customer Frustration

safety net do not catch my calls"

"That is Bull**** they never call"

Lack of Resolution

"I have gone through the correct channels since 6:30 that was three hours ago"

Channel Switch

"What do I do tomorrow if I still do not get call back?" (Agent said, you can call back)

"I have date and times for seventeen calls"

"Can you transfer me to your supervisor" (3 times)

Repeat Contact "If you are an existing customer and try to get technical support, you do not get an answer but when you are trying to buy a product, it

takes you less than 4 seconds to answer"

"My daughter has been trying to take this course for over six times, and the

Beware, not all AI is created equally—Some is static, some dynamic

It can Identify and model relationships (e.g. price concern, Confusion, effort) within the context of a conversation

Machine learning (ML) refers to a form of AI that easily adapts to new information to solve cases that it was not explicitly designed for

It has ability to train and create models that expand upon and self-learn across larger data sets

Static AI can be deployed simply to solve a specific class of problem but can’t adapt without intervention

Webster says: the power of a machine to copy human behavior

A customer is 4x more likely to become disloyal

after a service interaction. These key drivers increase customer effort and leads to churn

(CEB - Customer Loyalty)

89% of the companies surveyed by Gartner

believe that customer experience will be their primary basis for competition.

(Gartner)

$1.6 Trillion is the estimated cost of customers

switching due to poor services in the US; customers demand more human interaction

Committal Call Backs

Agent Tools

Vehicle Specification

Effective Hold Technique: Explain the reason why you are putting them on hold.

• Set right expectation of the time it will take.• Ask for their permission• Come back and refresh the call if you think it is taking longer

than promised• Job aids on the floor and quick discussion around the hold technique will

help the agents master this behavior.

rity Non Committal Call Backs:

Design and Train agent on call back protocols. Coach agents to mention a specific timeline every time they promise a call back to the customer .• This is an easy fix. Providing Job Aids with a predetermined call flow will

have a greater impact towards correcting this behavior

Warranty Question: If a customer has questions about their vehicle’s warranty, and dealerships are not able to answer them, they expect the frontline agents of X to have an answer. Not having answer to a warranty question, creates confusion and increases customer effort exponentially.• Etech recommends training agents on the basics and giving them access

to a database that can function as a guiding light when customers ask questions about warranty or extended warranty.

• Updating this information in the X Me app based on the vehicle the users own will reduce the number of calls coming in for this and help lower the call volume.

Recall Issues:• Design a training session around the recall issues you have been hearing

the most on the calls. • Although a high effort fix. This will enable the agents to assist the

customer who come in for questions about recall issues and decrease customer effort.
