Customer Service in a Digital World Masterclass

Overview

The global pandemic revealed that a robust, digital-first customer service strategy is required in order to maintain long-term business resilience and success.

Digital customer service cannot be independent of the overall customer experience strategy; the digital channels that a business uses must not be siloed but leveraged as critical components of an overarching customer service strategy.

Traditional means of customer service alone will no longer be sufficient for serving the needs of connected customers, as these slow and reactive processes cannot effectively anticipate and deliver against fast-changing customer expectations.

This masterclass will provide delegates with an overview of the elements of an effective digital customer service strategy and how to implement them for your own organisation.
