5 Best CX Strategies to Reduce Customer Churn in 2017

In today’s competitive market, customer experience is often the main differentiator. Once a sale is complete, the contact center is an enterprise’s primary touch point with its customers. When a company knows what their customers want and responds with a consistently excellent customer experience, they create loyal and profitable relationships.

Check out these 5 best CX strategies that make your customer happy and reduce churn:

• Understand what type of churn is prominent in your company
• Build accurate understanding of customers
• Explore newer data sources to gather customer intelligence
• Deploy predictive analytics to uncover new opportunities
• Focus on proactive retention approach

5 Ways to Drive Customer Retention Actions with VOZIQ’s Predictive Text Analytics Solutions

Standard churn prediction models rely on structured data such as customers’ demographics and purchase histories. VOZIQ’s predictive text analytics solutions reduce the time-to-value by going one step beyond these common churn reduction approaches.

Following are the 5 ways using which VOZIQ reduces customer churn significantly:

• Detect Churn Risk as It Emerges with Dynamic Churn Scores
• Enhance Customer Contact Rate with Risk-Based Intelligent Call Routing
• Improve Sales Effectiveness with Service-to-Sales Model
• Enhance Marketing Effectiveness with Risk-Aware Marketing
• Create Company-Wide Risk Awareness

Drive Business Impact with Proactive Customer Retention Strategies

Most organizations fall short at maximizing the utility of unstructured data, which is typically huge in volume, dynamic, and distributed across multiple touch points in the contact center, such as post-call agent notes, satisfaction surveys, call tags, IVR logs, and so on. By using the contact center interactions as a differentiator, VOZIQ identifies customer intent, effort, and sentiment.

Then, by applying predictive algorithms on this unified data, VOZIQ gets churn risk scores for each customer. Based on the score, companies can identify at risk customers and proactively create customer retention strategies to retain the customers effectively.

Counter Customer Revenue Risk by Infusing Customer Behavioral Intelligence into Retention Strategies

Forrester’s 2017 predictions warn that the millennial mindset of ‘no-loyalty’ is increasingly evident across age groups. For the new customer, a single episode of a bad experience can lead to prolonged loss of revenue from that customer to a competitor.

In such a volatile scenario, a few companies, according to Forrester, will leverage technology to understand customer emotion as both a descriptive and predictive measure to guide experience design and govern operations. VOZIQ assists retention leaders in building an enterprise aware of customers’ emotions and risk, and provides them with tools and processes to deliver a better customer experience across the lifecycle.
