For the retail industry, optimizing and simplifying the buyer journey is crucial to meeting customer expectations every step of the way. A brand’s reputation depends on knowing and reducing customer pain points wherever they occur.
The Challenge
Our client, a well-known North American retail brand, wanted a clearer understanding of their customer experience and what could be done to make it better. Early improvement goals centered on:
• Decreasing overall average handle time
• Reducing repeat calls
• Increasing customer satisfaction
The Solution
A cross-functional team conducted a 30-day interaction analytics study, examining:
• Top call drivers
• Correlation between agent behaviors and customer sentiment
• Reasons for repeat calls and transfers
• Technical customer issues
• Issues with orders, returns, and exchanges
The Results
Actionable insights from ResultsCX analytics led to meaningful improvements within weeks:
• 67% decrease in time to proficiency driven by on-the-spot coaching
• 6% reduction in call silent time from new flagging/handling process
• Nearly 20% reduction in AHT with better call efficiency
• 14% improvement in quality scores
• Uptick in customer satisfaction scores from 91% after six weeks of process improvement
