Typical problems of organisations with customer service departments include slow response time to inquiries, a lack of a consistent operating scheme, and scattered data on contact history. As a result, customers and consultants are frustrated, and the process takes too long.
Salesforce Service Cloud is a customer service and support platform that helps agents do their jobs at the highest level. The platform also allows customers to choose how to contact customer service and start a conversation anywhere and on any device:
- Email, phone, SMS, self-service sites, messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, or real-time web chat.
Every channel is open for agents to respond to customer needs, which is very important for customers. From the brand beneficiary’s perspective, being seen and feeling important is now crucial in customer service. Salesforce Service Cloud makes it possible whether you have ten customers a year or ten thousand.
-
Faster case resolution
Agents get a 360-degree customer view, helping them resolve issues quickly and better understand customers’ needs. AI-powered recommendations suggest the best solutions and automated workflows reduce manual effort.
-
Omni-channel support
Omni-channel support ensures customers get help through their preferred channels (email, chat, social media, phone, etc.).
-
Reduced operational costs
- AI and automation reduce the need for manual intervention and result in fewer calls to customer service due to self-service options. Optimised resource allocation ensures agents work efficiently.
-
Instant responses 24/7
AI chatbots are available 24/7 and provide quick answers to common questions (order status, refund policies, troubleshooting, password resets, or appointment scheduling). They gather customer details before escalating, reducing the agent’s workload.
