Should Companies use Slack or Teams with Their Customers? When you are working with clients on long and complicated projects, nothing is more important than maintaining good lines of communication. Having constant and transparent communication with your clients can help improve your relationship with the client while ensuring that everyone’s time and money are being used effectively. While email and phone calls are the primary forms of communication in business, these methods can be ineffective uses of time and lead to instances of misinterpretation. That is why, when it comes to long-term customer relationships, using a messaging service like Slack or Microsoft Teams can help boost productivity and client satisfaction. These services allow you to stay in constant contact with your customers and shorten the feedback loop, allowing your team to deliver the highest quality product or service in a timely manner. Although these messaging services were built with internal communication in mind, adapting them to client communications takes a bit of adjustment. One popular method of adapting these existing systems for a new purpose is using plugins like Ascendo. These tools provide additional capabilities to handle the different needs of being in constant communication with clients. Unlike Slack’s or Microsoft Team’s normal features, Ascendo allows businesses to better manage customer issues, concerns, and questions and collaborate effectively. With Ascendo you can use ticketing tools, lead discussions about certain files, leverage AI-powered search for easy use, and unlock customer insights not seen before.

Proactive Customer Retention Paper In today's era, Proactive customer service is your only way forward. Research shows traditional service and support methods aren’t getting the job done: - Service costs are up 15%. - Lower-performing agents cost you up to 67% more than top performers. - 86% of customers contact customer service multiple times for the same reason. - Two-thirds of companies now compete on customer service. Today, customer service is a key element to a great customer experience. And customer experience has never been more critical to a company’s success. It’s time to get proactive. Service and support organizations like yours are falling short. Support calls are expensive, call volumes are high, and customer expectations are higher. Service calls are taking too long due to labor shortages and an increasing knowledge gap resulting from experienced workers leaving the workforce. KPIs show your employees are overworked and your customers are dissatisfied. And the C-suite is pressuring you to build a service strategy that will boost the company’s bottom line. If you’re feeling the pressure, you may work for a reactive service organization. And our recent study shows you’re not alone. Focusing on KPIs like call volume and length won’t make a long-term and lasting impact that elevates your service organization as well as your company. But if you rely on your data – information collected from your customers about their issues and their service interactions – you can arm your service and support team with the knowledge they need to respond efficiently and effectively. More importantly, you’ll empower your customers with convenient self-serve options in addition to expedited agent interactions.

Create Modern Support Experience Through AI Businesses these days receive hundreds and even thousands of customer queries daily. For any customer service representative, it becomes tremendously difficult to keep track of these issues, specifically because of the three Vs Volume Velocity and Variety With inconsistent similarities between large amounts of incoming data along with the frequency of product updates, it adds exponential complexity to the process of unearthing trends in the data. This data can be created from various data sources including customer-created tickets, service requests, bots, customer reviews, case objects from different CRMs, help articles, or even FAQs. While these datasets share the same ground of belonging to customer interactions, they all can have extreme differences in terms of unearthing actual actions to be derived from them. At Ascendo, we call these as “Interactions”. What is common across these interactions is that they deal with symptoms/problems/questions/advice that a customer needs. Each of them needs an understanding of what the “root-cause” of the request is. Then the root cause should be mapped to the relevant solution/knowledge to surface it back to the customer. We will be going into topics like: Semantic Inference - what is it? Real world Examples of Semantic Inference How does this help with Support time and effort, Product teams and Go-to-market teams How does an AI engine use the above? What help does this provide to an agent? How do AI systems comprehend data? What help does this do to CX leaders? What if you are starting out with no systems in place?

Auto Categorization at Ascendo In Modern Support Experience, one of the greatest challenges that industries face is to identify the Root Cause and Symptoms of the high volume of issues coming in at an incredible velocity. With the gathered data from multiple data sources and immensely varied information, it gets harder to identify and establish the latent causes for problems. Ascendo brings to you one of its most utilized and successful components, Auto Categorization, which is built on state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing techniques and Deep Learning algorithms. Understanding the Problem: Data in the real world is very convoluted and keeps evolving with time. As products and tools continue to improve, the number of issues and types of issues also increase. These issues keep changing with product changes and can evolve into something similar to what was faced before or extremely unique to how the product has evolved. Almost every industry today suffers from exponential growth in issues. The complexity of issues keeps raising the graph of data points. This pattern hardly stabilizes with growth in product stack and integrations. Currently, support agents tend to spend more than 50% of their time evaluating the problems, let alone finding the right solutions. Historical information needs to be crystal clear to understand the data based on past information. Making past data expertly classified and immaculately accurate is a task that is extremely time-consuming and strenuous. It is not difficult just because of the enormity of the data, but also due to inconsistencies in human thinking. When issues are being described by the end customers, people describe problems in their own ways without adding any context to the components of those problems. Moreover, agents and other experts could think of multiple solutions, causes, and symptoms for the same problems which increases the complexity of normalizing your data, therefore introducing multiple ways to understand the same type of data points. The standard way of solving this problem is to make use of expert knowledge. This method introduces multiple points of consideration, making the available solution hard to be implemented: Thousands of historical data points are needed. Each data point needs to be filled in with expert knowledge and accurately defined. Even for a small support team, about 17.5 hours per week is spent manually classifying problems. Multiple people talk about the same issue differently! The list of problems keeps expanding as the product expands Possibility of multiple unknown issues Mapping new problems with the existing list of problems causes inaccurate classes of category assignment Inaccurate learning Manual work hurts getting the Voice of the customer feedback into the product in a timely manner Not understanding issues in real time is an impediment to providing proactive support. Ascendo Recommendation Engine: Ascendo aims to make the support experience as easy as possible for its customers. The solution has to be simple, smart, efficient, fully integrated with data sources, and most importantly requires little effort and time for users. The solution also has to bring expert knowledge into learning and has to be a continuous learning engine. The feedback loop could simply confirm and enhance automatically created root causes that groups multiple problems into their own bucket. Download the full whitepaper to read more on this.
