Boosting productivity is a key goal for many organizations. Whether improving manufacturing processes or increasing work-from-home productivity, it’s a priority for companies of all sizes.
CCM solutions can make it easier to automate forms and documents and deliver omnichannel communications to meet the needs of modern customers. This can reduce the burden on internal teams and boost productivity.
Integrations
Workflow integration allows information to flow easily between software tools, eradicating barriers that prevent departments from working together and creating a cohesive workflow. This allows for greater efficiency and eliminates errors that result from manual data entry.
Whether your customer communication team wants to improve speed-to-lead rates or reduce the time they have to shift between applications, CCM solutions can provide integrated solutions that streamline and automate processes. These include built-in and native integrations, application programming interfaces, or API integration.
Unload menial tasks from sales agents and underwriters, freeing them to focus on closing more business and delivering more personalized content and communications.
Automated Forms and Documents
The right CCM system can automate forms, documents and other time-consuming business processes. This helps you reduce inefficiencies and improve productivity.
For example, you can eliminate the time-consuming process of manually collecting paper documents for processing by transforming them into digital versions that automatically route to the correct stakeholders. This also reduces costs such as paper, ink and postage.
You can easily create form submissions that are mobile responsive so customers can access them on any device. This makes it easier for customers to provide information and speeds up sales.
Automated Campaigns
The processes that makeup campaign operations are time-consuming and labor-intensive. By automating them, marketers can ship campaigns faster and stop wasting time on repetitive tasks.
Automated campaigns are based on specific triggers like email subscriptions, purchases, or abandoning a cart. Messages are sent to the right audience at the perfect moment, such as welcoming new subscribers or encouraging lapsed customers to re-engage with you.
Some automation uses actions that dictate contacts’ routes through the workflow, such as “wait” or “notify someone”; these are typically used for internal communications. Others use a combination of these and other available actions to provide the right experience at just the right time.
Automated Reporting
Whether they’re data teams staring at spreadsheets for hours, copying and pasting figures, or sending reports manually to stakeholders, many businesses can benefit from automating reporting. This translates into reduced time spent on the tedious process and a streamlined workflow that saves money and makes it easier for teams to access insights and information.
However, this type of automation can only be effective if the entire team is aware and on board with these changes. Employees must know that removing their mundane, manual tasks will allow them to do more exciting work.
Omnichannel Communications
Omnichannel communication unites customer communications across multiple channels, including web, mobile apps, social media, and telephone. It is a distinct system used to optimize interactions collectively, independent of the consumer’s channel.
Omnichannel messaging allows customers to start a conversation on one medium (like chat) and then switch to another platform, like email or phone, without missing a beat. This is a critical feature for businesses that want to provide customers with a seamless, personalized experience. It also helps reduce ticket volume and allows agents to focus on more complex issues.
Personalized Content
When it comes to content, your customers are exposed to messaging, notifications and more from brands left and right. You must deliver a personalized experience that speaks to their needs and interests to stand out in the noise.
Consumers are no longer accepting one-size-fits-all content experiences. They expect businesses to understand their unique needs and expectations, and they can quickly see through low-effort personalization tactics like subscriber.first_name in email messages and UTM tagging.
Instead, look for a CCM solution that dynamically generates real-time personalized content. This can be anything from a customized homepage banner to personalized calls to action throughout your website.
Contextualization
With contextualization, you can tailor content to your customer’s specific situation or engagement stage. It’s a powerful tool for cutting through the noise of all the content and messages customers are exposed to daily.
For example, with contextual learning, training material is presented in a way that builds upon each lesson. This helps employees fully understand and engage with the lessons, leading to effective, comprehensive learning.
A quality CCM solution can also automate batch forms and documents using structured templates with complex business logic. This is a great way to streamline and personalize customer communications while reducing manual, error-prone processes.
