interaction management
How
do we know that the experience we want customers to have is actually what
they get when they talk to us in the contact centre (and that you’re getting
a return on your technology and staff investment)?
We
can only know this by implementing tools and frameworks that guide customer
interaction and dynamically provide all the relevant information required to
resolve calls. We can only know if we have appropriate interaction management
in place.

Some
would call it CRM for contact centres. We call it the smart way to touch
customers.

Interaction
management involves the bringing together of customer information,
interaction information, transaction information and product and service
information from a variety of sources: sales management, content management,
knowledge management, campaign management and service management systems.
It
enables you to know who you are communicating with, when and why they last
communicated with you, and what they want or need to know.
More
importantly, it provides a real-time view of the customer and allows you to
resolve the contact rapidly and efficiently. All this unlocks greater value
from every customer contact, builds customer goodwill and strengthens loyalty
and ongoing commercial ties.
