Details: Smart companies know that an exceptional self service experience can shape a customer’s perception of the company, instill loyalty, and increase the propensity to recommend the company’s products or services to others, all of which are particularly important in today’s economy. While these things are essential, how do you measure the self service experience, determine if users are getting their answers, if users are successful or unsuccessful, and are cases being deflected? How do you measure the effectiveness of the content and recognize those internal or external users who have created the most valuable content for your organization? The audience will hear leading customer support executives share their insights and lessons learned from their own experiences.
