Using Social Media

To Improve Products

THE PROBLEM

Our client is a manufacturer of electronic products that wanted better customer service capability. They were looking for a solution that would reduce the call volume for their customer service representatives.

Our Solution

Based on our study of our clients’ systems, we felt that implementation of the Salesforce Marketing Cloud would be the best option to solve the problem. Direct and efficient online customer service options would reduce call-volume, which would reduce customer wait-time and thereby improve the customer experience. In addition, with the Marketing Cloud Social Studio, our clients could directly get insights into customer needs from their end-users’ social media interactions in platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. By analyzing the social media posts, our clients were able to gather feedback and improve their products. In addition, they could always match the posts with the users for proactive follow-up leading to a better customer experience. Finally, based on social media interaction, our clients were able to gather market sentiment and their perception in the minds of their customers in comparison with their competitors’ perceptions.

The Outcome

The use of customer service through social media made the whole customer service process much smoother. Some of the benefits of the change were:

49% Reduction in call volumes

Easy-to-use online customer service platform

Proactive problem detection using end-user social media posts

Insights into customer needs through social media observation
