The state of Chatbots

Generally, we all hate the idea of chatbots, but in our experience, this is because so many of them have been implemented badly and most have no ongoing test and improvement plan. With some of our clients, we have seen a 40% reduction in inbound calls to customer support centres and an increase in customer satisfaction. All you brand managers, don't think this isn't relevant to you, because every touchpoint impacts your brand perception, especially when customers need support. James Penfold, our Head of strategy and experience design, explains what businesses need to do to improve the chatbot experiences to positively impact their customers. It's all about collecting the right data and using it to constantly improve the service. Happy customer = happy business!
