Maybe that&rsquo;s why decision makers expect service budgets to increase by an average of 23% over the next year.<br><br>Check out these numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>70% of service team leads, 62% of mobile workers, and 55% of agents say they can&rsquo;t reach their goals without more budget<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>80% of decision makers expect to see an increase in budget, 76% expect an increase in headcount, and 76% foresee higher case volume<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If higher budgets aren&rsquo;t enough to keep pace with rising case volume, then technologies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/customer-service-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customer service AI<\/a> and automation could help bridge the gap. (<a href=\"#toc\">back to top<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"keepingup\"><strong>Are agents and mobile workers under pressure to keep up?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The data is clear: today&rsquo;s customer service professionals are spread thin. In fact, 77% of agents and 74% of mobile workers report increased and more complex workloads compared to just one year ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does that affect morale? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/resources\/research-reports\/state-of-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our research<\/a> suggests a few answers:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>79% of agents and 73% of mobile workers say they support more products and services than they did a year ago<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>65% of agents and 66% of mobile workers say their cases are more complex than ever<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>56% of agents and 57% of mobile workers say they&rsquo;ve experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/call-center-burnout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">burnout at work<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>69% of service decision makers say agent attrition is a major or moderate challenge (<a href=\"#toc\">back to top<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"responding\"><strong>How are high-performing companies responding to these customer service trends?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be thinking: <em>OK, research is fine. But what do I actually do about it?<\/em> Here are five practical ways that high-performing service leaders are tackling today&rsquo;s most pressing challenges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-they-re-enabling-self-service\">1. They&rsquo;re enabling self-service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our research shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/resources\/research-reports\/state-of-the-connected-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">61% of customers<\/a> would prefer to use self-service to resolve simple issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When self-service is done right, it&rsquo;s a win-win: your customers can resolve problems faster, and your agents can focus their time and attention on more complex issues. Just as important, data from the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/resources\/articles\/state-of-service-inside-customer-service-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;State of Service&rdquo; report<\/a> shows that self-service is a major differentiator between high-performing and underperforming companies: 80% of high-performing service organisations provide a self-service solution, compared to just 56% of low performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-they-re-unifying-their-data\">2. They&rsquo;re unifying their data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We found that 26% of agents say they often lack context about a customer&rsquo;s situation, while 80% believe that better access to other departments&rsquo; data would improve their work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps that&rsquo;s why the highest-performing service organisations are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unifying their data<\/a> to achieve more cohesive and compelling customer experiences. For example, many teams are connecting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/crm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customer relationship management (CRM)<\/a> systems and sharing accountability for metrics like customer satisfaction scores (CSAT), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/customer-effort-score-cracks-the-top-5-most-measured-service-metrics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customer effort scores<\/a>, and Net Promoter Scores (NPS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-they-re-investing-in-field-service-technology\">3. They&rsquo;re investing in field service technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our research shows that 90% of decision makers at organisations with mobile workers are embracing the future of field service by investing in specialised technology to improve field service metrics and enhance mobile worker productivity. (You can find more of our research about the latest field service trends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/resources\/articles\/field-service-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">right here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-they-re-automating-processes\">4. They&rsquo;re automating processes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inefficient processes and manual taskwork monopolise agents&rsquo; time and jeopardise the customer experience. That might explain why so many service organisations are turning to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/products\/customer-service-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customer automation software<\/a> to enable greater efficiency at scale, with 83% of decision makers planning to increase investments in automation over the next year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-they-re-making-the-most-out-of-generative-ai\">5. They&rsquo;re making the most out of generative AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re like most service professionals, you might be curious how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2u_dBCrU73U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generative AI<\/a> will impact your work. The preliminary results are in &mdash; and the results are already impressive: over 90% of organisations with AI report time and cost savings, and 87% of service decision makers say this technology helps them better serve customers.
