How conversational AI and messaging will benefit your business during this uncertain time.
Even though we are not yet through this crisis, we are beginning to see the framework for how we must all operate in this new world. Companies must consider how to increase the use of automation and messaging to reduce the strain of voice calls into their contact centers. Highly- concentrated contact centers must balance their operations between different geographies. And it is essential that every company develop new onboarding, performance management, technology, and security practices for a distributed workforce.
In a recent LinkedIn article “Customer Service Continuity and Lessons Learned During the Covid-19 Pandemic”, [24]7.ai CEO, PV Kannan shares how we were able to quickly activate our business continuity plans and outlines key recommendations for contact center leaders to action:
