What is a socially enabled call center? Well, to put it simply, a socially enabled call center is one that utilizes social media to effectively interact with and handle all customer service. The socially enabled call center is not limited to one or two channels, such as live-chat or voice, but uses social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter to handle customer service issues.<\/p>\n

The world of customer service is changing all the time and social media is proving to be one of the driving forces behind this change.\u00a0 GARTNER<\/a> recently reported that by 2020 customers will manage about 85% of their customer service issues without <\/strong>talking to a human. This means the social media platforms that are used in customer service today, will continue to grow as the preference for resolving customer issues in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

So what does this mean for the call center? The call center of the future will need to be increasingly more customer-centric via social media. For example, making sure the customer is happy with their assistance and ensuring they get prompt attention and feedback on all their issues. How do you ensure this happens? Well, let\u2019s take a look at a couple of ways to ensure exceptional customer service as you build a socially enabled call center.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hire customer-centric people: <\/strong>\u00a0Anyone can be trained to answer questions and solve problems, but there are some people who have a knack for \u201ckeeping their cool\u201d in the midst of a difficult conversation and knowing how to diffuse an irritated customer\u2019s emotions.\u00a0 People with this strength should be placed on the \u201cfront-line\u201d, so to speak, of the customer service arsenal. Hiring agents who know how to ask the right questions, offering understanding and reassurance that the customer\u2019s issue will be resolved is the first step in building exceptional customer service that sets your brand apart from your competitor\u2019s.<\/li>\n
  2. Increase your response time across channels: \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Social media today has made everything immediate. One negative interaction with a company and the word can be out on Facebook and Twitter in a nano-second. How quickly your team responds to these interactions will make or break your business.\u00a0 A Socially enabled call center will be monitoring these channels continuously and respond accordingly to resolve the issue. The more agile your call center is across social media channels, the better.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
