Next-Gen CX for Driving Revenue

1. Foster Customer-Centricity for Greater Returns

Every customer conversation should revolve around who the shopper is, and what their unique history is with the brand. That starts with support teams having access to solutions that enable transparency and deeper customer knowledge, like:

  • Data-rich customer profiles with central views of key shopper information

  • Customer-centric prioritization driven by intelligent routing tools like People Match® to pair customers with the best-fit agent

  • AI suggestions and improvements that anticipate contextualized replies and targeted recommendations per customer

  • Easy-to-use modern UI that ensures faster onboarding and training

2. Drive More Multi-Brand Cross-Selling

As retail brands expand offerings and diversify into different product and delivery lines, they open up cross-selling opportunities that can bolster revenue gains. This requires a CX solution that provides:

  • Multi-brand customer profiles that span purchase history, and enable product recommendations and targeted sales

  • Seamless cross-selling, leveraging customer preferences, decisions, and conversations across brands

  • Customer profile customizations that allow brands to design effective customer profiles with unique views for revenue-generating interactions

3. Encourage and Enable Heroes to Proactively Engage and Sell

Businesses need to feel empowered to anticipate needs and engage with customers throughout their journey. Features like proactive chat initiatives and personalized communications help initiate meaningful interactions that drive sales and solidify customer relationships, ultimately boosting revenue and loyalty. This means CX teams should:

  • Contact customers in bulk by delivering promotions, recent purchase updates, or relevant engagements

  • Optimize inbound volume and productivity using self-service solutions like Gladly’s conversational, collaborative AI to handle customer issues and free up agents from repetitive tasks.
