How Does Personalisation Impact
the Digital Care Experience?

Experts in Customer Experience, Behavioural Science and Personalisation explore the Why, the What and the How of reaching the next level of digital customer care in this fascinating webinar.

Improving customer experience on digital care channels is imperative for many Telecommunications and Internet Service Providers, but why is that and how should it be approached?

Consumers have higher expectations of digital customer care, based on their experiences with other industries, such as mobility as a service, retail and hospitality. Companies in these verticals use implicit and explicit customer data to personalise their experiences and deliver relevant, timely suggestions and services – and those customers welcome and expect it.

Unfortunately, digital customer care in Telecommunications has traditionally had a poor reputation amongst consumers for an inability to solve queries and a one-size-fits-all approach to script and problem-solving. This drives consumers to call human call centre agents, even though 80% of the issues could be solved through digital channels if done right – and call centre agents could focus on servicing more complex queries and and tasks of a higher strategic value.

What impact does personalisation have on engagement in digital care channels and how can Telecoms and ISP organisations reach the next stage of customer experience? 

We gathered experts in behavioural science, personalisation and customer experience to explore:

• The importance of personalisation to organisations’ digital strategies, as well as to customers.
• The impact of personalisation on the User Experience.
• What the future looks like for personalisation in customer servicing.
