Delivering Customer Service in a "Web 2.0" World
Download Session PDF
The biggest challenge faced by most customer service organisations is the ability to continually innovate in their business. The expectations of customers are constantly rising, and there is a pressure for service organisations to improve their service delivery. Blogging, YouTube, and Web 2.0 technologies have given every customer a voice to express their emotions. The technology used in these organisations has restricted improvements, sometimes taking up to 15 months for a small incremental change to address a business requirement. This presentation will discuss how Salesforce service and support allows companies to innovate at the pace of their customers, with both the Salesforce Call Center and the Salesforce Customer Portal. pdf
