Customer Service Technology & Trends for 2021s

Customers’ experiences have an impact on how they perceive your business and your brand. Service is the core point of your business’s success. Everyone knows the importance of a happy customer that will not only return to you but always give positive feedback and bring new customers along.

Let’s see what’s new in Customer Service Technology & Trends for the 2021s.

Each year customer service and support leaders identify their strategic priorities and investments for the year ahead, but due to covid-19 and its lasting ramifications, things are changing rapidly and it’s important to move along with the new requirements of Customers. Service and support face increased pressure from competitors on the role of the service function in improving operational excellence and growing the business. The main support for effective customer service is a combination of tools, systems, and processes to convert policies into customer satisfaction.

It starts with equipping your agents with all tools that they need to provide a top-notch customer experience, including:

  • Up to date software
  • Enhanced training 
  • More accessible customer data
  • Specific feedback
  • Clear process documentation and flexible guidelines

In 2020 the Customer Service department had to readjust their employees to remote work. This transition had a huge impact on customer service trends in 2021. Remote work will most likely become a more permanent strategy due to the current situation worldwide and the new opportunity of cost savings due to the remote workforce for business owners. 

In fact, 89% of UK contact center leaders say that the COVID-19 crisis has changed the industry forever. A recent industry survey supports this view of a long-term work-from-home transition.  35% of contact center leaders now think that their contact centers will become mainly homeworking. And a higher percentage, 58%, think homeworking will be partly optional and partly compulsory. 

Either way, the busy on-premise contact center of the past is set to give way to a more flexible and remote work culture.

As for trends, Service became a sales tool in 2021.

Omnichannel communication with customers is a top priority today. Customers want to reach you immediately with great convenience, meaning being able to choose a convenient contact form like live-chat on a business website or have multiple choices of mobile messengers depending on the preferences of the consumer and get an immediate reply independent of the device type.  A true omnichannel approach includes the ability to deliver a seamless and consistent experience across a variety of communication channels. So if your company is not operating with omnichannel communication, now is the time to adapt.

Since not all customer service departments work 24-7, developers took it one step further by inventing chat-bots. But this option lost its popularity within a short period of time.  Custer’s enjoy interacting with actual human beings since chatbots lack intelligence and are able to solve only the basic requirements of customers, so they are revealed with ease.  So creating a chatbot for your customers today should only be to generalize the question of your customer and lead the conversation to a responsible employee or department. It’s also good to have a chatbot to answer the most common questions or to gather contact information to get back to the customer during working hours. They are a necessary asset today as well, but nothing in comparison to actual human interaction. 

Let’s not forget about social media. Its popularity increased among some of the largest companies in the world as a way to foster customer communication and share the latest products with its potential customers. Social media is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ channel, it’s an essential tool. Companies that spread their brand on social media are archiving greater value of new customers and benefits as well as customer satisfaction and increased retention. In 2021, social media will only become more and more important as a tool to share information, communicate with customers, and retain users.

Today the market is growing rapidly, and as customers have more options, service becomes part of the product experience. Companies are focused on customer’s desire for a better customer experience. The E-commerce market was already growing before Covid, but that growth was accelerated by the pandemic to deal with increased demand. More businesses needed more help services from B2B companies.

The world stands right in front of a new era, and we need to make sure to be up to date with all the new features and services to keep our existing customers happy and have new customers join. The world stands right in front of a new era, and we need to make sure to be up to date with all the new features and services to keep our existing customers happy and have new customers join. 

Unlike years prior, this new type of conversational commerce is much bigger than just offering live chat. That’s part of it, but consumers now want to be able to connect with your brand immediately on their preferred platform — whether it’s Facebook, WhatsApp, email, etc. The right tools will allow you to deliver a unified customer experience and treat all channels as equal — prioritizing queries based on importance. 

As always, customer reviews play a massive role in success

  • Quick resolutions
  • Helpful and empathetic agents
  • 24/7 support
  • Being able to use preferred channels
  • Proactive support

Summary of trends 2021:

1.  Building teams with support agents who can work remotely

3.  Providing personalized customer experiences

4.  Delivering real-time support through live chat and chatbots

5.  Customer-centric success strategies 

6.  Mastering social media as a support channel

As previously mentioned, we stand right in front of a new era, and there are more changes to come within the near future. For some industries, this means having to change up the whole business plan and readjust or in the worst-case scenario close their business completely. 

For them, it means a second chance, and if they play their cards right, a bright future.

If your business strives to be up to date, it has to give customers the ultimate purchase experience. Live chat can generate leads, increase sales and improve the overall customer experience. In fact, live chat is expected to continue to grow by as much as 87% in the next year, and in some industries, chat growth has increased by as much as 150%.

Today, customers are literally one click away from a fast response of customer service, assisting in purchase or anything they need.

48% of customers say that they prefer live chat over social media, email, and even phone support. Giving customers a way to reach you immediately is beneficial for both parties, and let’s not forget about the convenience of data exchange using a chat.

When customers reach out, make sure to have an agent available, or at least include information about the average response time somewhere inside the chat window. You can also use pre-chat surveys, chatbots, and other options.

In fact, the average customer satisfaction using live chat service in the technology industry exceeds 87%. compared to just 61% for email and 44% for phone.

Building The Future Of Connection With Lifelike Avatars.

The world is changing and technology adapts.

Facebook recently showed how their Codec Avatars project is progressing – the results are already impressive.

Lifelike avatars are the way we will communicate within the next 10 years.

These avatars show photorealistic face models that accurately represent the geometry and texture of a person in 3D (i.e., for virtual reality), almost indistinguishable from video. 

Video communication and calls are outdated, while VR / AR should take communication to a fundamentally different level. It will have a huge impact on Customer Service – communication is key, imagine being in a meeting with a customer face to face while in real life you’re working from home. And Facebook invests a lot of resources in this: 10 thousand employees work on mixed reality projects, which is almost 20% of the entire state. 

Zuckerberg also likes to say that the future of user interfaces is VR / AR.

Telegram and other Facebook competitors cannot be envied: no one has enough resources for 10 thousand people to be engaged in such a long-term project. But this is definitely the future.

In the video that you see here, a Facebook employee and a participant in the experiment communicate with each other in VR reality. Already much better than a few years ago, but there are problems with facial expression, tongue and eye contact. The goal is to create a virtual space that is indistinguishable from reality. It’s as if a person is standing next to you and looking right into your eyes. 

In the future, companies that will use avatars will have a huge advantage over its competitors. Moreover, these technologies can eventually be integrated into our everyday lives.

Exceptional Customer Experience With Over-Delivering Customer Support Teams

“New Normal” is a great way to define the changing landscape of customer service. 

Customers have always wanted efficient, quick, and reliable service, but new technology has raised their expectations even higher.

The Internet and especially social media changed the definition of fast dramatically. Consumers find faster, consume faster, and change decisions faster and they expect to get an immediate solution to their queries.

A simple Google Search can tell you about anything you need to know and almost instantly, and how to expect that consumers will be patient when company representatives can not give the valid and quick answer.

They still want to call and talk or text a real person, but more initiative than ever to find FAQ pages, forums to solve their problems themselves. 

With the growing technology and channels, we are always on and connected to the information we need, watch, listen, connect wherever and whenever we want, everything expected to be easy and accessible 24/7. 

It’s important to know where you stand in this standart. Most of the time, customers will let you know how you’re doing by giving you feedback. 

By avoiding poor customer service, you are providing excellent service, which is what you want to do.

  • Be available and answer emails/calls/tickets seven days a week. You can not solve a technical problem in a minute but you should let customers know, you hear them, you will have a solution in x amount of time and you are working on it.
  • Make sure customers know how you can be reached.
  • Treat the customer like the fellow human being they are, not like “just another customer.” Use their name, personal service matters more than speed.
  • If you don’t have yet, quickly build a Knowledge Base as a tool for your customer support teams and publish in your channels as FAQ for them who prefer to solve their problems themselves.
  • Over 65% of customers believe it is very important that they don’t repeat their previous interactions. Use accurate tools that help you to keep your customer inquiry records.

Did you know that 58% customers said their service expectations are higher today than they were a year ago? Nowadays It takes one bad service experience to reduce the loyalty of 68% of customers. 

Nearly three-fourths of consumers will leave a brand behind after two poor experiences. Do you know how to build over-delivering customer support teams to lead in today’s new business environment? 

Companies today are realizing that the technology, people, and processes they’ve developed over 2 decades will not be enough to help them address how customer needs have developed up to this point. 

The data in this blog should help arm these service leaders with the information they need to evolve, and keep up-to-date with what it is their consumers want; otherwise they risk losing them to a company that will.

Onboarding, Training, Building Knowledge Base Definition For Small Medium-Sized Businesses

Organizations success is highly dependent on employee skills and performance and every new hire needs a certain level of training regardless of their role in the organization. 

Training costs can go beyond a staggering $13 million dollars for large organizations. 99.9% of businesses in the UK (6 Millon), 99.7% in the US (28 Millon) are stated as SMB and these organizations are facing countless challenges in balancing training quality and costs.

Is there a way out of this dilemma, without sacrificing quality and within an affordable budget? 

Knowledge base, a dictionary of ready to go information, the bible for trainers and employees. Consuming all relevant information for a new hire, all training material is one click away from anywhere and everywhere and you don’t have to worry about the term, jargons since the many Knowledge base tools offer context-sensitive features.

It is very easy to get drawn when you jump into an ocean of information, and we all experience those frustrations when the instructor needs to repeat something for clarification and this feeling is mutual for both parties. 

The onboarding process starts over again with every single new hire and hiring never stops. The knowledge base can save time and energy and provides real-time visibility to training information, and flexibility of constant refresh to meet the new hires requirements.


Researches pointing that the average employee wastes 5 hours a week by searching the Finalupdatelatest. document. Mistakes can easily be done when it is almost impossible to verify if the source is the latest version, even the file name says so. 

Researches pointing that the average employee wastes 5 hours a week by searching the Finalupdatelatest. document. Mistakes can easily be done when it is almost impossible to verify if the source is the latest version, even the file name says so.  

Besides the training and onboarding purpose of building a knowledge base, it can also be a solution for hitting your Customer support KPIs and totally can bring your support level sky-high. You can make it easier for your customer service team to provide prompt service and information by using an internal knowledge base to gather common support documentation and FAQs. 90% of customers want an immediate response when they turn to you with a support issue. Use of help or FAQs on a company’s website increased from 67% in 2012 to 81% in 2015 regarding Forrester’s report. Publishing your FAQs on your web page can help you to avoid repeat requests from customers as well as deflecting 40% totally.

What to put in a knowledge base

  • Annual reports, employee handbooks, organizational charts, and contact lists
  • Onboarding materials, health-and-safety training, and certification training.
  • Process documentation, software documentation, standard operating procedures, and checklists.
  • FAQs, call scripts, and email templates that can help your customer support team better assist customers.
  • Case studies, product information sheets, sales process information, and the latest sales numbers.
  • Editorial calendars, social media post templates, and copywriting guidelines.
  • Press releases, contact lists, and press images.
  • Branding Handbook, and colour codes.
  • Legal documents, contracts, release forms, policies, and regulatory documents.

You can find some excellent knowledge base examples below.

1. Optimizely

Optimizely’s knowledge base is huge, and it contains a community forum, a traditional knowledge base, an educational academy, certification programs, developer documentation, and a link to regular support.

2. SurveyMonkey

When it comes to a knowledge base design template, SurveyMonkey has one of the best examples I’ve seen. It’s clean, beautiful, simple, and intuitive. I like the visually prominent search bar and the clear topic categories.

3. Microsoft

The next knowledge base example we have here does a great job of capturing and utilizing feedback.

The cool thing is that Microsoft has clearly done its research and analysis and has built the knowledge base homepage to reflect top user concerns.

4. HubSpot

Hubspot knowledge base contains a bunch of different elements, including a documentation (for developers, designers, and general users), training (online, consulting, and classroom on a variety of topics), certifications, and a huge variety of community features (like forums, case studies, a customer blog, and more).

5. Moz

Moz is a stellar example of using knowledge base content not simply for reactive customer support, but for proactive customer education as well. They even refer to their knowledge base as a “learning centre,” which shows you how they’re framing their efforts.

Key SaaS Metrics That You Should Know

Getting to know your customer is what separates the losers from the winners in the SaaS world.

Every successful business has a strong understanding and ability to around their 

needs. 

SAAS stands for “software as a service” and there are dozens of details to consider when reporting on key marketing and sales data for SaaS organizations.

Obviously, these metrics can be applied across all industries and company types and should be monitored on a regular basis. It’s important to put in place necessary reports and set benchmarks for each. Start by looking into your last year or quarter’s data to set a baseline to measure against, and use that baseline to evaluate if you’re growing — or stagnating — in the coming months.

Below there are key metrics as a bible for every SAAS sales and customer support team.

MRR

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) is the amount of revenue that a company receives on a monthly basis. MRR is critical to understanding overall business profitability and cash flow for subscription companies. Once you’ve calculated the MRR for each customer, you can calculate the total MRR for your business.

MRR breakdowns are always helpful to look at your revenue growth. There are main 4 parts to divide your MRR and see an overall view of your business.

New MRR

New MRR is the monthly recurring revenue that’s generated from brand new customers. If you have 5 new customers in a month, they pay $100/month and the other your new MRR would be $500.

Expansion MRR

Monthly recurring revenue from your existing customers such as upgrade as a result of an upsell or cross-sell. 

If 5 of your customers upgrade their subscription from $100 to $200/month, the expansion MRR would be $1000.

Contraction MRR

Contraction refers to the revenue lost from existing customers who have downgraded their subscriptions and takes into account both downgrade MRR and Churn.

Churn MRR

Churn MRR is the amount of monthly recurring revenue lost due to customer cancellations. It’s often calculated against MRR to see Churn MRR amount.

It’s often calculated against MRR to see Churn MRR and monitor the impact on business.

ARPU(Average Revenue Per User)

ARPU is known as average revenue per user and it is equivalent to total revenue, besides being very useful for all types of businesses, it’s most commonly used to analyze subscription-based organizations.

ARPU calculation is a great way for a business to track growth progress.

Calculating business ARPU is quite easy, It is simply taking the total revenue divide into a number of users in a given time period.

Starting with telecommunication companies such as AT&T, Verizon, and followed by cable companies such as Comcast, and nowadays on the scene for social media companies like Facebook, which is not subscriber-based.
Facebook’s average revenue per user in the third quarter of 2020 was $7.89. 

Definition of a standard time period is a must. Most Saas companies calculate ARPU on a month-to-month basis. The total revenue generated during the standard time period should then be divided by the number of units or users.

CAC

Customer acquisition cost is the best estimate of the total cost of acquiring a new customer. It should usually include things like advertising costs, your marketers’ salary, your salesperson’s costs, etc. Divided by the number of customers gained.

It is a really useful number that will help you calibrate your investment and make sure you are making the right decisions for your growth.

Why is it important? If your customer acquisition cost is more than your income for a long enough period of time, you will be out of business.

An even better way to use CAC: Match with customer lifetime value (CLTV)

CLTV

Lifetime customer value (Customer lifetime value, or CLV) is the expected sum of all revenues a customer will generate for your business.

CLTV tells you how valuable a single customer is to your brand and gives you an idea of ​​its overall value. This helps you understand how much you need to invest to keep the customer.

It is most cost-effective to increase your income from an existing customer than to acquire new customers. For this reason, you are expected to have a higher probability of success in business models and scenarios with higher lifelong customer value.

CLTV can be mentioned as the loyalty of customers to your product or services. You can find some tips to increase your CLTV.

  • Developing digital channels
  • Using existing channels more effectively
  • To improve the ability to obtain analytical data to obtain more comprehensive information about customers,
  • To produce much higher quality content for customers
  • Create a high-quality customer experience with after-sales service
  • By mobilizing the employee as brand representatives
  • Using all kinds of relevant communities.

Conversion Rate

The conversion rate is the number of conversions divided by the total number of visitors. It can be an e-commerce website or subscription-based SaaS. 

You are monitoring 100 visitors on an average per day. And out of these, about 20 people buy your product or service daily. So your conversion rate, which is the ratio of people becoming your customers to the total number of visitors on your website, is about 20%.

A conversion can refer to any desired action that you want the user to take. This can include anything from a click on a button to making a purchase and becoming a customer. 

  • Become a Member of the Website
  • Navigating the Product or Services Pages
  • Filling in a Contact Form 
  • Becoming a Mail Subscriber to Your Website
  • Viewing Campaigns Pages

Churn Rate

Customer Churn

 Maintaining the existing customers is equally important as driving new customers to your business. It is one of the most important metrics in tracking the vitality of your business. 

Customer churn measures the rate at which customers cancel their subscription to your service. It can give you a better understanding of customer retention by specific insight on activity across specific time periods.

When tracking churn, be sure to identify the personas of these churned customers as well as the industries that can help to light on why they failed to renew. 

Customer churn indicates how good you are at retaining existing customers.

Revenue Churn

Alongside customer churn, every SaaS companies have to measure revenue churn to evaluate the outside impact.

Revenue Churn is used to looking at the rate of monthly recurring revenue (MRR) is lost as a result of churned customers and downgraded subscriptions.

 Some customers may be generating more revenue than others if the subscription price is depending on variables such as users, additional tools, or features, the customer churn rate might be different than the revenue churn rate.

Revenue churn indicates how good you are at retaining customer revenue.

CPA (Cost Per Action)

Cost for every action. Targeted action is usually charged on a fixed or percentage basis. CPA is one of the most favourite metrics of marketers. Cost per action is a digital advertising payment model that allows charging an advertiser only for a specified action taken by a prospective customer. 

All actions covered by the model are directly related to some type of conversion, ranging from a newsletter sign up to a link click or sale and determined by the advertiser.

CPA is calculated by dividing Total Cost by the Total Number of Actions. 

Win Rate

One of the critical elements in determining your sales velocity is your Win Rate. Win rate is the percentage of prospects that became customers divided by the total number of opportunities in the pipeline.

 If you don’t know how many opportunities to pursue it is hard to build a sales strategy or know what marketing needs to deliver into the funnel. 

In this case, the results of the four sales cycles are as follows:

  • Deal A: $20,000 – WIN
  • Deal B: $10,000 – WIN
  • Deal C: $40,000 – LOSS
  • Deal D: $30,000 – LOSS

Deal A and Deal B are won, and Deal C and Deal D are lost. Win two. Lose two. That is a 50% Win Rate.

However, when we look at the values of the deals, the result becomes drastically different. A and B valued at $30,000, where C and D together to a value of $70,000. On a value basis, your win rate is 30%.

LVR ( Lead Velocity Rate)

The lead velocity rate calculates the real-time growth of qualified leads month over month. It’s one of the most important metrics to predict future revenue.

Lead velocity rate measures the efficiency and effectiveness of the company’s sales pipeline. LVR is one of the most critical key performance indicators (KPIs) of SaaS companies. Generally, companies use lead velocity rate to assess the efficiency of its sales, as well as its growth potential.

Lead velocity rate is calculated as a percentage change in the number of qualified leads in the present month relative to the previous month.

“hit your LVR goal every month… and you’re golden. And you’ll see the future of your business 12-18 months out, clear as can be.”

Which Audio Chat App Is For You?

There is a new boom happening right now in social media, the drop in audio chat experience. 

You may have heard about the ClubHouse app and now a new app TwitterSpaces which is actually a copy of ClubHouse. We have compared these 2 apps’ main differences and sharing with those who like to stay up to date on new social media space.

After reading the previous paragraph, if you have considered trying out one of these new apps you will probably choose Clubhouse since copies have the stereotype to be worse than the original. But don’t be too quick to judge. Let’s look at some numbers.

TwitterSpaces has 192 million daily users over ClubHouses 2 million daily active users.

Interesting right? 

These are the key differentiations.

Clubhouse is an only iOS, only audio, and only by invite app. Basically what it means is you can enter an audio chat room by invite only. It gives you the actual experience of a clubhouse. It’s like zoom without video or any audio chat, a team speak app with speakers and listeners.

Clubhouse has a calendar with upcoming events for you, that the app assumes you will be interested in listening to, based on who you are following.

You can easily find and connect with your friends on the app.

Clubhouse app is very well designed and polished in terms of functionality and discoverability.

But users report that “it feels kind of sweaty” because a lot of people are on there trying to network, trying to link and build. It feels more like a Linkedin profile with a long list of accomplishments and acculturations. 

But this type of platform caused such a hype among its users that even Mark Zuckerberg is working on his own version of ClubHouse for Facebook. However, there are more apps like this to follow in the near future.

Here’s your guide on TwitterSpaces. Twitter started testing Spaces back in December 2020 and they are now in the Beta version. So there is much more to come including new features and updates.

Spaces is a new way to have live audio conversations directly in the Twitter app.

Unlike the ClubHouse, TwitterSpaces are not private and available on iOs and Android. They are public and anyone can join to listen even if they do not follow you on the app.

You can easily block or report users to moderate content better.

TwitterSpaces give the ability for up to 10 users to come together as speakers and create an audio-only chat experience. It even has a live transcription future that lets you read the conversations even if you can’t listen because you can’t have your volume up or you forgot your headphones.

TwitterSpaces is almost like talking to people in real-time via voice notes. It lets you join, listen, and speak. Reviews of users show that they seem to enjoy it and think spaces is a more exciting product than ClubHouse.
