Mobile Self-care Suite
In the recent years, OTTs and social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter are being widely used for personal and professional communication. Customer care’s boundaries have been expanded to the entire internet and even social media, this has been a great game changer for the Telecom operators as they have to transform their business models in terms of being just the pipe-line infrastructure for other platforms and customer’s level of expectations when it comes to customer care and engagement.
However, when it comes to resolving queries, customers have to either visit the store in person or contact the customer care via e-mail or phone. Digitalization is set to change it all. Telecom operators can now offer innovative real-time self-care facilities to enhance customer experience. The benefits of using feature-rich customer engagement platforms are far more than the cost involved.
It is evident that the customers need to give more importance to self-care options, which have a crucial role to play in improving customer loyalty and satisfaction.
