Improve agent experience to transform customer experience

When did you last call your financial institution to speak to a representative? What was your experience like? Did the representative ask you to repeat your account number multiple times? Were you asked to explain the reason for your call when transferred to another agent?

Customers often feel frustrated when compelled to explain their issue multiple times. Even with advancements in digital communication channels, many customers prefer speaking with a live representative when troubleshooting complex issues.

Agent Experience is often overlooked

Customer experience (CX) is a top priority for customer service and support leaders. The usability and effectiveness of CX are always under scrutiny. Yet service leaders overlook a critical driver of CX—the experience of the reps solving customer problems.

When service leaders make it easier for reps to solve a problem, everyone benefits, including the customer, the agent, and the company. Agents feel less stressed and can focus on listening to customers, understanding and solving their issues efficiently. That’s why brands must focus on equipping agents with the right workspace design, functionality, and integration. So that they can avoid repetition and seamlessly record important information.
