How to become a digital conversational master

Last week I attended a customer service conference in Milan, back in real person. As many companies were represented, I’ve had the opportunity to listen and learn about their Digital Customer Service journey: main steps, achieved results and next goals ahead. Most of them have made great cultural and operational improvements in a short span of time, so well done! Nevertheless, just a few of them have become a digital conversational master yet and that’s where best-in-class ones steal customers from competitors.

What customers think after having an experience

Let me start from a crucial point. Online conversations, especially those about support queries, permeate so much customer experiences to influence consumers purchase decisions. Below typical emotional-related thoughts buzzing in consumers minds:

‘Are they still OK for me – or shall I switch to a competitor?’
‘It was a good experience and I will share / promote it’
‘Support was so outstanding that I may buy more products / services…’

We’re talking about digital conversations as from the pandemic on their volume is increasing day by day – and they’re here to stay as consumers find them easy and convenient. Accordingly, smartest organizations have acted upon that taking care of them in details, because each digital conversation is a business opportunity. They’ve invested in up-skilling itineraries for their support agents to let them be equipped with ad hoc competencies for each specific digital channel (social media, live chat, video chat, messaging apps).
