Develop Life - Omni-Channel Customer Service

Omni-Channel Customer Service

Customers - your customers - are demanding 24/7/365 access to your products and services. They are also demanding access to you via multiple channels. Whilst a primary contact method is still by phone, it's clear that Gen Y and Gen Z in particular are showing a distinct preference for the e-channel.

That said, customers will always demand choice. Drive them into a situation where customer service is solely via self-service, and you risk losing them.

We'll work closely with you to help you develop an omni-channel service strategy that engages with all your customers - giving them choice and a great experience.

Customer Service and Generations Y and Z

The window of opportunity is closing fast. There's a real risk that organisations that fail to embrace an omni-channel presence will cease to exist. Yet evidence shows that organisations with a consistent cross-channel service offering will steal a march on their competition and thrive in

Remember, Gens Y and Z have grown up aided by the rapid expansion of TV channels, MTV, DAB and internet radio, the web and e-zines. Gen Z, in particular, has grown up with a highly sophisticated media and computer environment and are much more Internet savvy and expert than their Gen Y forerunners. These are now your customers, and they demand to be heard!
