Genesys Study Shows Proactive Customer Communication Drives Higher Customer Satisfaction

FRIMLEY, ENGLAND — November 1, 2016 — Genesys® (www.genesys.com/en-gb), the market leader in omnichannel customer experience and contact centre solutions, is hosting a live webinar on November 9 and 10 that discusses new research into how proactive communication is improving customer engagement.

Presenting the interactive discussion is Forrester Vice President and Principal Analyst, Art Schoeller, who will discuss findings from a thought leadership paper conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Genesys. Forrester found that 40 percent of surveyed companies and organisations are seeing higher customer satisfaction as a result of proactively communicating with customers. Additional benefits include:

• Increased revenue (37 percent)
• Reduction in repeat calls (36 percent)
• Agent cost savings (31 percent)

What: Proactively Engage Your Customers in Every Channel—Without Losing Your Mind!
On average, companies are proactively sending nine different types of communications to customers, including sales promotions, new customer onboarding, appointment and billing reminders, outage notifications, fraud alerts, account updates, loyalty programmes and customer satisfaction surveys. To succeed in today’s market, embracing proactive customer communication within a larger omnichannel engagement strategy is key. In fact, 65 percent of companies and organisations today have prioritised proactive customer communication to keep their customers informed about their account, products and services.

This webinar will also show that 36 percent of companies proactively send communications to streamline their customer journeys, and many engage customers with personalised and contextual experiences over their preferred channels. This helps lower customer effort and minimises the need for customers to contact the company for support. The Forrester research reveals that organisations that have incorporated higher degrees of omnichannel engagement into their proactive customer communication strategies are realising the greatest level of benefits.
