Excerpts from an exclusive interaction with Dataquest:
What are some of the customer experience metrics you have been able to deliver on?
Let me first give you the business context for one of our customers. A leading private bank wanted to streamline business operations and processes to gain an integrated view of operations across business groups. This particular bank has expanded exponentially with a massive network across the country. Due to this expansion, it needed to revisit its communication strategy to ensure continued growth and success. It also needed to create new revenue streams, increase wallet share of existing customers, and continue to differentiate itself in the market place with very personalized customer service.
To tackle these objectives, this bank went in for Talisma’s customer-facing experiential banking solution. It also adopted an internal collaboration tool within the organization. The metrics of performance for Talisma’s solution include
- an increase of 60% in customer satisfaction levels,
- 70% increase in first-time resolutions with a
- 50% increase in upsell and cross-sell opportunities from its existing customers.
So, you focus on industries such as banking where customer contact is multi-channel and customer experience is largely based on issue resolution. What about high-touch industries where customer experience band is wider, where the whole product or service matters more?
Talisma serves many verticals beyond banking and financial services. Take, for example, the hospitality segment. One of the largest luxury hotel chains in India was looking for a solution to empower its Guest Contact Centre team. It wanted to manage hotel reservations related queries, requests, and issues raised by its fast-growing guest base.
With Talisma’s DCEP, there has been a 43% increase in guest satisfaction with an operational cost reduction of 24%. It also helped collaboration across teams with ease of information sharing, enhanced monitoring and tracking, all of which are also available to the management. The hotel chain is thus able to live up to its reputation as a premier guest service provider and able to add and retain more guests.
How has Talisma’s run been in the Indian market?
