But the reality is that support teams are often siloed from important departments, expertise, and technology. Service agents toggle between too many tools while managers lack a complete view into workloads and performance. This prevents teams from delivering fast, quality customer support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has to be a more human,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/collaborative-customer-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" adhocenable=\"false\" rel=\"noopener\">collaborative<\/a>&nbsp;way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where Slack for customer service comes in. It\u2019s designed to connect teams and mobilise the entire organisation to better serve your customer. The result is faster case resolutions, higher agent productivity, increased customer satisfaction scores (CSAT), and a transformed customer experience.

Clara Shih, CEO of Service Cloud. \u201cIn today\u2019s remote and hybrid work reality, customer-facing teams need to be able to easily communicate and collaborate with operations and incident

Work in Slack happens in channels, a home for all the messages and files related to a specific team or topic. As teams work through complex issues together, a searchable knowledge base grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The predictive search function uses&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/products\/einstein\/ai-deep-dive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">artificial intelligence (AI)<\/a>&nbsp;to show the most relevant and helpful content to resolve cases, including knowledge base articles, logged files, and past resolved tickets. Over time, AI and machine learning (ML) understand the types of searches that your service agents perform to provide the most helpful information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-2-provide-personalised-service-to-key-business-to-business-accounts-with-slack\"><b>2. Provide personalised service to key business-to-business accounts with Slack<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Impersonal, one-size-fits-all service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/2021\/01\/what-customer-connection-means-now.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">no longer meets customer expectations<\/a>. Just like in our consumer lives, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/2021\/01\/simplifying-b2b-commerce.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">today\u2019s business customers expect service to be tailored to their needs<\/a>. But business-to-business (B2B) issues are more complex and may require an entire ecosystem of internal and external partners to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quick collaboration between all these parties is often a challenge. With Slack, you can transform the way you work by moving out of siloed conversations. Rather than having to chase down contacts and answers, the service team loops in the right experts \u2014 other departments, as well as external partners and vendors \u2014 in a single, shared, secure place. Customers can bring their tools, documents, and people with them, creating a new avenue for stronger customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, take the case of a vending machine company. A corporate customer calls the company to report that one type of candy bar keeps getting stuck. Nothing changed with the vending machine, nor did the customer change their candy offering. The agent brings an expert from the candy company into a channel in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/intl\/en-sg\/connect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slack Connect<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 a place for connecting with people outside your company \u2014 to figure out what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partner explains that the company recently changed the packaging size of that particular candy bar. Next, the partner shares recommendations for similar products that would easily fit the vending machine. The agent relays this information back to the customer. Then, the agent documents the steps to help other agents handle similar requests. The agent goes one step further to help customers who may face similar issues by proactively alerting them to the packaging change and replacement options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-3-provide-proactive-service-during-incident-management\"><b>3. Provide proactive service during incident management<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The unexpected happens. Whether it\u2019s a security breach or power outage, service teams need to handle large-scale incidents on the fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slack provides a single place for service agents, engineers, and whoever is analysing the root cause of the incident to come together. In Slack, everyone has the information and tools they need to take action as quickly as possible so customers get answers fast. That moves service from reactive (answering customer questions when they reach out) to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/proactive-service-build-customer-relationships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proactive<\/a>, which involves sharing key information with customers before they realise that they need it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsing Slack unlocks proactive service \u2014 teams swarming and problem-solving on Slack are seamlessly connected with customer-facing teams who can view real-time status of issues and resolutions. This helps businesses proactively inform affected customers&nbsp;<i>before&nbsp;<\/i>they call in,\u201d said Shih.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-4-solve-tough-issues-by-case-swarming-with-slack-for-customer-service\"><b>4. Solve tough issues by case swarming with Slack for customer service<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seventy-seven percent of service agents say their role is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/resources\/research-reports\/state-of-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more strategic than it was two years ago<\/a>. This includes handling more complex cases. However, the answers to complex issues are not always available in your knowledge base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slack connects your service console with the rest of your business so that experts come together to solve problems in real time. This sets off the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/what-is-case-swarming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">case swarming<\/a>&nbsp;process (also referred to as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/library.serviceinnovation.org\/Intelligent_Swarming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intelligent swarming<\/a>, or incident swarming).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say a high-value business customer has a complicated request to split the shipment of a large order to multiple locations over time. The service agent pushes a request into a Slack channel for cross-functional partners, subject matter experts, and managers to swarm the case. They set up a quick discussion to get on the same page and document the steps to resolve the case. When teams take a collaborative approach like this on Slack, the customer has a faster, better experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the unexpected benefits of case swarming is accelerated agent training. This is especially important in a remote work environment, where agents can\u2019t huddle in person at the office. Less experienced service agents and highly-skilled experts come together to solve cases in real-time. Service agents access previously siloed expertise and acquire new skills on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-how-to-get-started-with-slack-for-customer-service\"><b>How to get started with Slack for customer service<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Slack for customer service makes your support tools even more valuable by bridging the gap between service and the rest of your company.
