Are your critical customer communications under control

Research has shown that in 7 out of 10 organisations, the business has no real visibility or control over the ad-hoc customer communications that get sent out to customers.

Your batch-based comms, like bills and statements and regular advices, typically get dealt with in a controlled manner with defined processes for authoring and approval. There is also rigorous sign-off before jobs go into production.

However, it’s the ad-hoc ones that can often trip an organisation up…

In most businesses, the issue is seen as just too hard to deal with. After all how can you tell a CSR or in fact any customer-facing person exactly what to write?

There is an answer to the issue of control over one-off customer communications

Quadient one of the Worlds largest customer communications software providers have developed Inspire Interactive specifically to deal with the ad-hoc document authoring and approval process.

It’s not about de-empowering front-line staff, in fact, it’s quite the reverse. They now have an easy-to-use workflow that guides them through particular documents using a step-by-step defined process. It might be a simple letter, an application form, or a claim. It could be an onboarding document. In most cases, the user simply brings up a template and is then guided through the process of populating the document with pre-approved content blocks.

Better yet, there is still room for the CSR, agent, or front-line staff member to add a personal touch. And if required, the workflow can be defined to send the final letter or email off to a team leader, supervisor, or manager for final approval.

It’s the simplicity of the system and the high level of visibility within the workflow that creates a level of heightened empowerment within the organisation.   

If you have an interest in fixing your leaking customer communications boat, then get in touch for a demo of Inspire Interactive. You’ll be following the many users around the World who now see their ad-hoc customer comms process as plain sailing.
