Proactive outreach happens when the contact center reaches out to customers to alert them about possible issues. It also includes providing useful information without requiring the customer to initiate contact.
If a bank detects suspicious activity, they may proactively notify the customer to verify the transactions. Similarly, a cable company might reach out to inform customers about upcoming service maintenance to minimize inconvenience. Proactive customer engagement demonstrates a commitment to customer satisfaction, reduces reactive problem-solving, and improves customer loyalty and retention.
