client case

Providing customer assistance is always a delicate task, one that requires tact, empathy and skill in order to offer the right solution and strike up a rapport where necessary. The travel sector in particular throws up a range of potentially thorny customer care challenges: for example, a flight cancellation can ruin a long-planned, eagerly anticipated holiday, with the affected users understandably angry when they speak to an operator to get an explanation.

In any commercial sector, the customer service phase plays a fundamental role in creating an image of a company in the eyes of the client. But that’s not all! The semantic and linguistic analysis of conversations between clients and customer service representatives also allows important information to be gathered and processed, and action taken to improve the quality of the customer experience. We’re talking about Speech Analytics software, programmes capable of analysing the “voice of the Client” in dialogues that take place every day with Contact Center agents.

Five years ago, TalkTalk was one of the most complained about telecoms operators in Britain. Today the company has completely turned things by revamping the contact centre operating model and finding new ways for customers to get the support they need across digital channels. As a result, TalkTalk is succeeding in its mission to be a value champion taking on the traditional giants in one of the toughest industries in Britain. 

The latest Whirlpool refrigerator is far more than just a humble cold cabinet. It’s a smart device. So when the connection fails, and the frustrated customer starts calling, a Transcom customer service agent is there to help them – and their fridges – keep their cool.
