Make Every Interaction Count, Get Five Star Reviews

Once upon a time, before the world went digital, you could have a good product and people would line up to buy it in your local neighborhood. Things like milk, or shoes. Your buying radius was constrained by your travel time.

Today, however, the internet allows customers to shop wherever they want, secure in the belief that global logistics systems will eventually get the product to your door. Or, in the case of digital products and services, send it to customers instantaneously. As such, how do you convince customers to buy your products and ensure customer loyalty when you’re competing against a pool of global options? How to make every interaction count with our dear customers?

5 Major Trends Shaping B2B Customer Experience Transformation  in 2022

In 2022, it’s clear that a good product is no longer enough to win. The entire experience, from exploration to purchase to use, needs to stand out in order to win customer loyalty and delight them. 

As a result, there’s an ongoing digital transformation of customer experience. The trends in customer and business behaviour that we’ve seen in previous years will continue and even escalate, with the following 5 big trends defining great customer experience or CX in 2022, especially when it comes to customer experience transformation retail.

1. The new ‘want-it-now’ customer culture dictates the terms.

Customers want speed. A study by Freshwork of 107 million customer service interactions, speed has the biggest impact on customer satisfaction. To deliver this, businesses must adopt a digital-first customer experience strategy (CX strategy) and mindset.

2. Seamless omnichannel experiences replace physical-digital patchworks

Studies suggest that 80% of customers are more likely to buy from businesses that offer personalized experiences. As such, businesses need to bring together and unify customer conversations across all their channels: physical, traditional and digital, as part of their CX strategy.

3. Messaging and mobile-first conversations redefine customer delight 

Businesses that leverage familiar channels to make customer service accessible and convenient will win. For example, as more and more users get used to chatting, companies that use Apple Business Chat have seen a 20% reduction in call volumes as customers have switched over to chatting as their preferred means of querying. Similarly, 68%  of WhatsApp users believe that it is the most convenient way to engage with a brand. 

4. Agent empowerment drives customer delight for great experience

Business leaders will have to rely on technology to enable agent productivity while prioritizing agent well-being, even as expectations have risen. For example, 38% of customers expect customer service agents to immediately understand the context of their query. To deal with this, one in three business leaders are prioritising investments in new generation digital platforms to help support and sales teams work better.

5. Experiences move from automation to prediction 

Businesses that harness the potential of AI to predict customer needs and delight customers at scale will stay ahead of the curve. One out of three business leaders who are implementing AL say that using it to predict customer needs is a key consideration for driving RoI.
