Why Brands Struggle to Care for the Connected Consumer [SLIDESHARE]

Consumers are now more connected and more demanding than ever before.

As highlighted in the presentation below, 86% of surveyed consumers reported that they would be more satisfied if offered their channel of preference and half would move to a competitor that did offer their preferred channel.

Meanwhile, brands increasingly realize the importance of engaging with consumers not only through 800 numbers but also through social, mobile, email, chat and self-service channels.

Please take a look at the presentation below to learn more about the survey findings in addition to key challenges organizations face when attempting offer multichannel customer care.
