Virtual Help Desk Customer calls or requests online assistance changing a printer cartridge System or agent selects video based on help request (i.e. Video clip on how to change printer cartridge) Agent can cross-sell, upsell (recommend new printer and show customer where to find it on website, etc) Video Customer Service in Retail/ Branch Customer visits retail location for service with mobile phone Live agent accessible via video kiosk to troubleshoot by looking at actual phone via video, and walking customer through how to configure phone, etc Provide enhanced service: demonstrate new features, upgrade service plan, walk through how to use on-line bill pay, etc. Resident Expert Customer visits branch bank locations requiring services not available at that location Live broker accessible via video to provide secure, “face-to-face” service, allowing customer to access more services and complete transactions more quickly. Value Reduce live agent costs Drive customer retention and strength of brand Achieve competitive advantage via differentiated services Generate incremental revenue: cross-sell, up-sell, provide new services Provide faster service and confirmed transactions Enhanced security via face recognition and using video as additional stream for security questions
1. The main business problem was the need to gain advantage in a highly competitive market. One way to do that is to differentiate the offering by providing more efficient and thorough customer service at any retail branch location. In a way, this was more of an opportunity than a problem. 2. Live agent costs are significant and expert resources are spread thin, so finding a way to extend the expert service to more locations was key. 3. Consumers are becoming more sophisticated and have a lot of choices, so being able to give them what they want quickly and efficiently is key. It needs to be easy for them to get tech support rather than immediately offering a new phone. 4. This organization’s goals for adding video customer service included: Provide faster service and confirmed transactions. Drive customer retention and strength of brand. Generate incremental revenue through new services. Reduce live agent costs by extending expert resources without needing to staff every location. Upsell/ cross sell opportunities by auto-selection of video content while a transaction is in process. Enhanced security: facial recognition while a transaction is in process. Results – a side bonus is the fact that retail associates are receiving some ‘free’ technical training on the job by engaging with the virtual tech agents when the kiosks are not in use.
1. Financial Services organizations rely heavily on branch locations, however, they are not able to staff every location with experts in all areas. Finding a way to deliver personalized, efficient service to customers at all locations is critical to maintaining competitive advantage and customer loyalty. 2. Live agent costs are significant and expert resources are spread thin, so finding a way to extend the expert service to more locations is critical. 3 . Making transactions convenient for customers is key to maintaining satisfaction and driving new revenue per customer; applications like video help customers in any location get a consistent level of service. 4. Customers want a high level of personalized service –including face-to-face interaction– is important when dealing with financial transactions. Security is also key and being able to work with someone face-to-face aids the perception (and/or reality) of a more secure transaction.
