Customer satisfaction is getting redefined in the digital age. Pre-digital, customer satisfaction was simple- deliver ‘value for money’ products and be quick in handling their complaints.
What changed?
Today you have demanding and much-informed customers who are in charge of the buying process. You have multiple customer touchpoints- stores, websites, social media- and the customer decides how and when to interact with your business. And he expects a similar experience across the channels. The quality of your product/service and its pricing is still important but customer experience and satisfaction are also key influencers to buying decisions.
Customer Journeys play an important role in enhancing customer experience and satisfaction. While the multiple touchpoints make optimizing the customer journeys challenging, Salesforce Journey Builder with its complete suite of products and solutions makes it easy, fast and scalable.
