Vodafone rebuilds Australian brand placing customer at the center

Vodafone came to Australia twenty years ago and up until just a few years ago had one of Australia’s highest brand health scores. Then, a million customers walked away in a two and half year period during a series of network outages. Every business has its ups and downs, but it’s how a company responds that can make or break its reputation. Vodafone needed a proactive approach to engaging customers, realizing that delivering excellent customer service requires a connection internally and externally that can only be driven and delivered from a single platform. That’s what it gets from Salesforce.

“There's a big connection internally and externally that can only be delivered and driven by a single platform — and that's what we get from Salesforce.”

Service on every channel

Committed to listening to every customer voice, Vodafone Australia uses Marketing Cloud to connect with people on every channel and understand their needs—the biggest and most damaging detractor is the customer who feels he or she isn’t being heard. Now Vodafone engages in an average of one conversation every four and a half minutes across Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and the Vodafone community site. Service Cloud ensures customer queries are automatically routed to the correct respondent. Vodafone’s Tasmanian call center also integrates seamlessly into the service platform to give staff the tools they need for developing individual customer relationships.

Conversation is inspirational

Vodafone has applied learnings from its customer community to its internal communications on Chatter. The enterprise social network ties conversations and business processes together across geographies, teams, product lines, and retail stores. Teams ranging from marketing to technology also take advantage of the mobility of Chatter, allowing them to collaborate from virtually anywhere.
